This statement is incorrect and not supported by the study: It's an observational study comparing 2 different mRNA vaccines - you cannot claim "no one should be taking mRNA vaccines" when you only compared 2 mRNA vaccines. There is no other control. /1
As I said in January 2024, no one should be taking mRNA COVID-19 vaccines because of their terrible safety profile. But for those who had to take one, Florida’s public health data strongly implies that thousands of Floridians died as a result of receiving Pfizer instead of Moderna. The number of lives lost in the U.S. and internationally is staggering, based on this analysis. The culture of approving vaccines without adequate safety testing and assuming “innocent until proven guilty” with these products absolutely, positively needs to end.

Yet you deleted the video. Why? Because it was racist, and you knew exactly what you were doing. Spare us the pretence of wanting reasonable debate. You’re not interested in dialogue. You traffic in racism, profit from division, and hide behind free speech when you’re called out.
Oh no Sharan, let's not be ridiculous... Saying "diversity is our strength, what is happening" to a Senator who relies on identity focused optics to deflect from radical structural policy isn’t fear of arabic… that’s just a lazy take. It’s calling out his own political branding in real time, what he used and advocated for himself to mask a deeply polarizing and fractured winning coalition. Deconstructing that campaign theater is standard commentary, not being terrified of a language, culture or religion. Which you should know, as it’s something you do frequently on CTV News, right? I think this just shows that one of us paid attention to his rhetoric during the campaign trail and watched many rallies live, and the other read a lot of news headlines and social media posts. P.S. As for "grifter"? If that’s what you call a 13-year broadcast veteran, you might want to open a dictionary. There's a massive difference between professional media commentary and a grift. The fact you chose to dishonestly use that term (like the left always does) to discredit, demean, and distract away from any conversation is a big red flag. If a woman with a decade + career in communications, public speaking, broadcasting and political/news commentary is a grifter… then I guess we’re two of the same! The difference is id rather have a conversation with you, and you’d rather do whatever this is to try and score some sort of political point for your party. Bizarre… but good luck!

And right on cue, the dumbfuck brigade finds its new grievance- when you’re all out of antivax propaganda, freedumb convoy bullshit, Plandemic nonsense, Allison “inquiry” comedy, Alberta separation & stupid ostrich drama you need to move on to Russian hockey players. It’s all the same people. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Fucking idiots, all of them. 🇺🇦🇨🇦

A single Russian player playing in the NHL/CHL or any other non Russian league….is not the same as Russia representing its country playing in a tournament. The amount of people that don’t recognize the difference is staggering.

Look for Russian bots in the replies. They have 3 approved talking points. 1) LeT tHe KiDs pLaY 2) America should be banned too 3) They are just afraid of Ze Mighty Rasha, I am a Kanadian man from Gamil'ton, Ontario, I enjoy ketchup chips, hokkey and exposing Ukraine corruption
Canadian PM Mark Carney on the possibility of Russia playing at the WJC in Edmonton: "Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada. So if you're asking specifically about the World Juniors, the Russians will not be there."

All provinces rely on independent boundary commissions to draw electoral maps. Smith rejected the boundary commission map and asked her MLAs to draw a pro-UCP map. This is unprecedented. It's brazen US-style gerrymandering. It's cheating.

Weird how Canada's most GOP-friendly, US-influenced provincial party is using an anti-democratic tactic the actual GOP has honed into an art form, while being virtually unheard of elsewhere in this country. It's almost like being Canadian is impossible for Smith and her chuds.
We have the maps! And yes! It's gerrymandering! (Especially for Lethbridge and Banff-Kananskis) Let's take a look! /1

A profoundly unconservative and undemocratic position. And exactly my point. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p…

If it keeps the NDP out of power I hope they draw whatever they need to. We CANNOT have Nenshi as our leader, it would be the end of Alberta. If Nenshi was in power there is no evidence to say he wouldn’t do the exact same thing as Danielle.

She was falling 27,000 feet in a minute in an iced-up jet. In about 35 seconds she declared a mayday, gave her tail number, descent rate, overspeed and a 60-degree bank. That's the job. Then she died with eight other people, and you're grading her tone. Fuck you.
A pilot should not: 🔘become hysterical 🔘speak too quickly to be intelligible 🔘say, "We're going to crash into the ground!" 🔘scream like a little girl 🔘hyperventilate 🔘scream like a little girl again A pilot needs a certain disposition. This is not it. That's the reality.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Having a front row seat to your own demise is an emotionally distressing experience and pilots have been known to scream in such situations. Western Airlines Flight 2605 being one such example. m.youtube.com/watch?v=FKLE_n…

looks like this year's Flu Vaccine was a good one to get!
Encouraging early news from Canada’s flu season: All 116 flu virus samples tested so far match the strains targeted by this year’s flu vaccine. *It’s still early, and things can change* but the takeaway is simple: this year’s flu shot appears to be a good match so far. 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

Danielle Smith was counting on Albertans voting “yes” to her slanted/loaded questions. But we saw through her attempts to manipulate us and voted “no.” The fact that’s she’s now ignoring our wishes shows that she never really cared about democracy. cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/u…

Fun Fact 1 — @JohnBrassardCPC has a Grade 12 education as his highest level achieved. He flunked out of community college (next to impossible to do) eventually becoming a fireman. Fun Fact 2 — Diana Fox Carney has more letters after her name than needed to spell John Brassard.

This fucking useless government has got to go. Fuck Dan Williams & this idiotic bullshit.
It was pleasure to join Canada Strong and Free Network to discuss our country’s judicial system. Canada’s activist judges need to depoliticize themselves or else be held accountable to the standard an elected official is. @canstrongfree

This girl was far, far too smart to be hanging out with a chud like this. She definitely dodged the proverbial bullet here.
My friend went on 3 great dates with a girl (yes this included dinner dates), no sex. I told him he’s cooked, that he should cut his losses. The girl wasn’t happy when he told her it’s over. Was he too harsh towards her? Should he have done a fourth date?

Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

Besides being an abhorrent display of bigotry, it's also just factually wrong.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Novel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
