Does anyone know of any decently priced 1bd or bach/studio apartments in Toronto?

Honestly, I do believe a lot of medicine is just security theater. We have entire disciplines that can't really do anything for you, but exist as if to give society reassurance that if something happens to them, there will be someone to help

Turns out, the CDC had been optimistic & clarified that vaccines help the immune system respond to COVID better. But it doesn’t stop infection and modestly reduces the chance of Long COVID. How was COVID still causing Long COVID? And what about those strokes and pneumonia? 3/🧵

Turns out Long COVID, pediatric strokes, pneumonia & lots of other problems happen because COVID isn’t a respiratory disease, like the flu. It’s a vascular disease. Like SARS 1 in 2003, hantavirus, dengue and Marburg. The mechanism is organ damage via blood vessel injury. 4/🧵

It's also completely bonkers because we have an excellent vaccine for measles, and the only pediatric COVID vaccine doesn't protect from most long-term issues. It makes no sense that people are freaked out about measles when COVID can cause almost all the same damage in children. It's one of the more nonsensical things happening right now.

This is the second best possible answer. The first best answer is just a string of expletives.

i have nothing but contempt for the extreme levels of covid denialism/amnesia i encounter on shit-ass threads!

That's what happened to me. They called it "anxiety". I can't believe you went through this while pregnant. I was thinking this morning about my hair falling out in 2020 and what that actually indicated...You're very strong, thanks for your advocacy!

I was pregnant first week of March 2020 prior to lockdowns when the first Covid wave hit, and something inside me broke. One day I was me. The next, my brain was on fire. Encephalitis, I now know, but back then no doctor would touch it. They patted my belly and blamed “pregnancy hormones.”“Totally normal,” doctors said. I was left to drown. Suddenly I couldn’t turn off. Fight or flight became my only setting. Panic, paranoia, raw anger, and bone deep fear flooded every second. I felt no hunger, fatigue or pain. Just an endless electric scream in my nervous system. My blood pressure skyrocketed for the first time in my life. Medical system called it “preeclampsia” and after birth never checked my blood pressure again. My hair fell out in clumps. Nightmares clawed through whatever scraps of sleep I managed. I was irritable, on edge, impossible to be around. Inside our house it was pure chaos. I couldn’t control the emotions ripping out of me no matter how hard I tried. My marriage hung by a thread. We nearly ended it all right there in the middle of that invisible storm that no one believes ever occurred. I had a dear friend offer me supplements for “post partum depression” and although she meant well, the offer stung because no one truly understood what Covid was doing to me. And this is the part that still chills me. Because this is exactly how Long Covid gets erased. Doctors see a woman pregnant or with young children or in their 30’s or older and reach for “hormones” or “perimenopause.” Patients live through Covid hell and get told it’s just life. Covid takes a hold of you, steals pieces of your mind and body, and society files it under “woman problems.” I lived the proof.I am the proof. See how easy it is to miss the real monster hiding in plain sight?

Typical June in Canada sees an estimated 150-250 cases of flu. This June in Canada is seeing an estimated 98,500-168,100 estimated Covid cases in one week. This is considered a "low" period for Covid. This much sickness year round is not acceptable or sustainable.

Long-Term Outcomes of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children up to 4.5 Years After COVID-19 🚨IMPORTANT new study just dropped: MIS-C in kids is NOT a temporary illness!! 🚨It raises cardiovascular disease risk 14×, hypertension 9×, and gut/lung/brain problems for up to 4.5 years later(=LC) Earlier “kids recover fine” claims are now officially challenged! Study:👇 ➡️ A retrospective cohort study from New York’s Montefiore Health System examined 173 children under 21 with MIS-C versus 346 propensity score-matched controls without MIS-C, all following documented COVID-19 infection. ➡️Follow-up extended up to 4.5 years (March 2020–August 2024) using electronic health records, with MIS-C confirmed by ICD-10 code M35.81 plus CDC/WHO criteria. ➡️Results: 1. MIS-C patients faced markedly elevated risks compared to controls: - Cardiovascular disorders (aHR 13.88, 95% CI 4.69–41.07), - Hypertension (aHR 8.86), - Gastrointestinal disorders (aHR 9.48), - Respiratory disorders (aHR 3.46), and - Neurological disorders (aHR 2.02), - Shock and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurred almost exclusively in the MIS-C group, 2. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed persistent cumulative incidence in the MIS-C cohort ranging from 6.8% (CKD) to 35.2% (respiratory disorders), with risks diverging and accumulating over years rather than resolving, 3. Preexisting hypertension strongly predicted cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, and gastrointestinal outcomes, 4. Preexisting diabetes increased CKD risk 49-fold, 5. Older age modestly raised risks of shock and CKD. 6. Sensitivity analyses using stricter MIS-C definitions and alternative respiratory coding confirmed the main results. 7. No mention or data on vaccination and/or reinfection impact. ➡️The study directly challenges earlier reports portraying MIS-C as a transient, self-limited condition with minimal long-term sequelae. ‼️So, MIS-C is not a temporary inflammatory storm that children outgrow. It inflicts severe, lasting multisystem damage that multiplies the lifetime risk of serious cardiovascular disease, hypertension, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurological disorders by several-fold to more than ten-fold, while introducing rare but devastating conditions like shock and CKD that almost never occur in peers. ‼️Sadly enough risks continue to accumulate years later. ‼️Earlier short-term “excellent recovery” narratives are contradicted by this longer, rigorous evidence. ‼️Affected children now carry a heavy, potentially permanent burden of chronic illness that will require lifelong medical surveillance and coordinated care or face accelerated morbidity and reduced quality of life! ‼️Of course we need further confirmation, but this does fit the ongoing concerns within the LC science community! 😡So much for paediatric minimalizations! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections #ProtectChildren publications.aap.org/pediatr…

COVID causes multi-organ damage. Most COVID deaths come later from organ damage, like heart disease, diabetes and pneumonia. COVID will not be recorded on the death certificate. 97% of people have had COVID. There have been 20 Million excess deaths since 2020.

“Exposure to respiratory viruses before a baby’s first birthday — when immune systems are immature and before most childhood vaccinations — consistently predicted reduced earnings, education and health decades later.”

“I wear a mask because I know too much about the damage COVID and Long COVID do to our immune system and organs. Not wearing a mask would be intentionally inflicting harm on myself and others.”— Patrick Cote @PatTheSocialist, cohost, @PunchUpPod. Interview instagram.com/p/DZbPZNQETi3/…

We must resist the normalization of mass death. I am asking you to look directly at what is happening in the world and call it what it is. If we become comfortable with the suffering of others, we should not be surprised when that same indifference reaches our own doorstep.

This article is paywalled. Once “the entire internet” has been “deeply censored,” we won’t be getting it back. The Internet created Millennials & Gen Z, & our overlords are desperate to reverse it. Future generations aren’t meant to be thinkers.

This is how broken the democratic process in Canada is. A mega bank based in America hired an army of ex-Liberals, Conservatives and NDPers and bolted the issue of Billy Bishop expansion to the top of the priority list for Ford and Carney. No one voted for it. No one wanted it. No one campaigned on it. Torontonians are massively against it. We are under economic warfare. Ontario govt wiped out OSAP for students. Yet govts think it wise to spend their resources on an issue no one wanted except one mega US bank. This is the key danger of privatization. These foreign equity banks are massive, comparable to govts and have ability to bribe and buy out govts. JP Morgan just did it.
