remember when the vaccine was first available and everyone had to find a doctor to prescribe it but most docs said, "no i think you might enjoy it"
so lots of people had to buy bathtub vax on the street and you could smoke it or inject but if the truckers saw you they would honk their horns and throw their children at you. confusing times. remember that
turned out it wasn't homemade vaccine, it was just bacon grease. so everyone died.
what
that didn't happen, because COVID is a public health emergency and appropriately the PHO made a newly-developed substance available to the entire population (by age groups)? like by mass prescription? what
today is day 2,138 of the provincial public health emergency on illicit drug toxicity deaths
more than 8,500 people have died.
April 14 2022 will be six years of emergency which is to say, not an emergency at all except those who are dying

austerity logic choosing who lives and who will die is a capitalist nightmare, it's awful
this is endgame of the I GOT MINE approach of both the emergency response and the "it's all about me" advocacy grounded in individual experience (which is not social justice or public health, and will not change the system); yes it's neoliberal capitalism
MacEwan is the former head of psychiatry at st pauls and currently is the psych at the downtown community court. he's also on the board of BCS. and the Odd Squad.
i have a couple comments here and main thing: have you heard or noticed that everyone is dying and everything's fucked up and its the narrow end of the deathspiral and we're not getting out
this petty shit doesn't matter. every NP in the #DTES is fkdup LOOK AROUND
YES everyone could be way less freaked out and weird about media. the history of such interactions is not great, and has been embellished over time. everything is shit, everyone defaults to treating others like shit in order to make one's place in an intricate hierarchy of shit.
so the majority of people dying are not eligible for the inaccessible, inequitable #SafeSupply pilot projects anyway? that is a huge failure by every policymaker involved. seriously. WOW. all of them.
