In November, we saw nearly 500 EMS opioid-related calls in Edmonton alone. A post on the #ethics of #opioidpoisoning and #harmreduction from Dr. Cheryl Mack This week the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta will be hearing a critical case dealing with supervised consumption sites. The case is about regulations that this provincial government has enacted that create barriers to receiving services in safer, supervised environments.

An #opioidpoisoning and #harmreduction thread from Dr. Stan Houston:
In my job as an Infectious Disease and HIV doctor I have been involved in the development of Harm Reduction programs in Edmonton since the early 1990’s Back in the 90s when HIV was still a pretty new problem and effective treatment was very new, the Alberta government took the enlightened decision to provide HIV treatment to all Albertans who needed it.

Removal of #COVID19AB public health measures and discontinuing testing sites

Letter here:
albertazmsa.com/ezmsa ImageImageImage - new #COVID19AB cases doubling every week
- delta variant 1,000x transmissible than alpha variant
-660,000 under age 12 and 1.5M over 12 in AB are not vaccinated
- we are similar to Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana & Missouri where unvaccinated (average age in 40s) are filling ICUs
