@MarionDonnelly @luckytran I'd say this as a matter of #PublicHealth.

I guess having Pre-Boomers die of old age is the problem because many #Boomers got raised by #Polio #survivors flexing the #trauma of loosing up to 75% of their classmates by threatening to disown them if they didn't #Vaccinate their children!

This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
#DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

@dalias @Alice Yeah, it's the equivalent of waving a loaded gun in the face of a former PoW with severe PTSD:

  • Begging for a nonverbal act of self- and/or mutual defense!

At this point it'll just be a matter of time until someone somewhere will flick their safey off and we can all hope it'll only end in the #AntiMasker laying flat on the ground and not flatlined or in need of an ICU.

“The notion that #vaccinemandates have contributed to the ever-worsening #labourshortages in #health care, as political critics of the government have argued, is nonsense. Long-standing system failings, including a lack of human-resources planning, are the real reason for our labour woes.

The vast majority of #healthcareworkers are ethical, civic-minded and science-believing, and as a result, almost all of them are #vaccinated.”

Donald #Trump vowed at a rally Tuesday that if reelected, he’ll cut funding to every school with a #vaccine mandate.

Public #schools in all 50 states have #vaccinemandates.

If he followed through, no school in the United States would receive #federalfunding. All 50 states and Washington, D.C., have laws requiring specific vaccines for students, including measles, rubella, chickenpox, tetanus, pertussis and polio.

@Mary625 @blogdiva
"And that sucks"? Really? Are you just gonna gloss over the fact that thousands if not millions of people have suffered adverse medical effects because of poorly thought out, poorly researched, and poorly implemented vaccine mandates?
It's one thing to be pro-vaccines. I too am. Have gotten pretty much all the vaccines that have been mandated till date in India, but that doesn't mean I discount the concerns others have regarding vaccine safety.

“Indeed, Poilievre has not toned down his rhetoric against the vaccine mandates imposed by Ottawa at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, in which some 54,000 Canadians died.

It’s easy to understand why Poilievre keeps returning to this fight over vaccine mandates. It stokes the fires of his hardcore base of far-right, conspiracy-theory driven supporters, who he covets

..Poilievre remains offside with the vast majority of Canadians when it comes to #VaccineMandates.”

Bizarre & hugely inaccurate #antivax rant by #NaomiWolf yaledailynews.com/blog/2022/12

Reality:
- No evidence of fertility issues
- No evidence of grave harm
- Clear evidence of benefit
- Not an "experimental injection"
- Vaccine policy nothing to do with Geneva Convention or Nuremberg Code

Yes, mandate policy complex. Need to carefully balance much. Still, what the happened to Wolf?

Yale Daily NewsYale alum leads protest against University vaccine policyDuring a Friday morning protest Dr. Naomi Wolf ’84 charged Yale University with committing a crime in its mandating students to get their bivalent booster shots.

When a government says take this "voluntary" health treatment or lose your job, that treatment becomes compulsory for anyone not wealthy enough to do without that job. If it was a National government imposing vaccine mandates, or a private company, perhaps more of the left would recognize that they violate people's basic rights as workers?
