A message to the right wing anti vaxx pathetic POS who has been emailing my employer to try and get me fired: my Twitter handle was chosen for me by a teenager with cancer who got me onto Twitter to talk Canucks hockey over 12 years ago. /1

Stephen Miller's first memo to staff.

I made a site where you can write Belal Halbouni a note of encouragement, and every note fills a seat in a 3D BC Place 💙 The goal is to fill out all 54,000 seats so on hard days he can open it and scroll through a whole stadium worth of notes of strength and encouragement :) #VWFC @WhitecapsFC @MLS notesforbelal.site

JD Vance thinks you should have to speak English to receive care at a hospital. Wait until he hears about neonatal intensive care units. The audacity of those babies expecting care when they don’t even speak the language.

I hope Connor and Macklin read this quote from a story about Johnny Gaudreau…. ;-) #Canucks

Bro I’m crying 🤣

Parents, PLEASE check your kids’ Halloween candy. I just found a Snickers bar filled with Nathan MacKinnon's Olympic Gold Medal wide open miss

Iconic photo. Love seeing the small market teams win.

HE'S NOT SIGNING chants have broke out in Van. Canadian fans are unhinged.

the more things like this i see, the more i start to think that many elite NHLers are actually on the spectrum. this is wild... (reminds me of my buddy in residency who could tell me what page in a 1000+ page textbook each disease was listed on).

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

NHL is now running an offshore medical school in the Caribbean. Drs Bonino and Spezza joining the illustrious Dr Mark Recchi and Dr Randy Gregg as player-docs.

I have never seen my team win the cup but I have had the pleasure of listening to the best play by play, colour commentary and rink side hosts in the league since the 70s on both TV and radio.

The hot dogs from the rafters in honour of cheech was a fantastic touch.

No exaggeration, this guy might be the best interview in pro sports right now

MAID is different. But so is Canada. We give terminally ill patients who have zero chance of survival the opportunity to leave this world on their terms and with dignity and without suffering unnecessary pain until the end. It’s not based on religion beliefs. It’s simply humane.

I’ve had three family members apply for MAID over the years. Two died before the date came and one died from MAID. It was him surrounded by family and talking to family that was too far to travel, over the phone. He was given every opportunity to stop the process. A painless and dignified way to die. It’s a fairly lengthy process to get approved for it. It’s disgusting to see MAID compared to gun deaths in the US. It should be compared to people dying a lengthy and horrible death by terminal illness.

This seems to be a consistent theme for @DeanAllisonMP , who is defaming people left right and center. Let's be clear. When we are criticizing the @AllisonInquiry , we are criticizing YOU, Dean Allison, and the many professional antivaxx grifters you invited. Your "vaccine injured witnesses" are real human beings you've used as pawns in your antivaxx games, and they swore a (nonbinding) oath to say what they genuinely believed. NOBODY you've accused is calling them liars (and in fact, in my case, I specifically said they seem to be genuinely believing what they're saying). However, I will state plainly: I believe YOU are a liar. Stop using "Vaccine injured witnesses" as a human shield. We are criticizing you and your gross political stunt.

Let me tell you about how seriously we take vaccine safety in the world. The whole of public health is COMMITTED to delivering vaccines safely. Examples: 1) "please sit here for 15 minutes" after the vaccine (30 minutes if you have a history of allergies). The chance of vaccine anaphylaxis is about 3 per million doses. The chance of a FATAL anaphylactic reaction is about 2% of those. So we have you sit there, epipen nearby, for a 1 in ~30 million chance. There is no verified anaphylactic death to a COVID vaccine in the US or Canada's ENTIRE HISTORY (hundreds of millions of doses given). 2) COVID surveillance systems discovered the J&J clot issue. Six reported cases in 6.8 million doses caused the initial pause (1 per million) by April 13, 6 weeks after it was launched. At that frequency, there was NO WAY to detect it with a clinical trial. By the time the investigation stopped. By March 2022, there were 60 confirmed cases with 9 deaths. (In fact, the RATE of J&J TTS doesn't exceed baseline rates of TTS, it was the incredible epidemiologists recognizing the cluster of central venous sinus thrombosis, positive anti-pf4 without heparin exposure, and mostly women 30-40s). We now believe it was about 3.55 cases per million doses. And now you can't get J&J anymore, because the SURVEILLANCE WORKED and it was determined to be too unsafe for public use. Withdrawn at the company's request. In total: ~60 serious events (2 per million doses) lead to its withdrawal. (for mRNA vaccines, TTS is felt to be 0.0057 per million doses, or one in 175 million doses given. 3) AstraZeneca/Vaxzevria (same mechanism) UK moved to 30+ in April 2021, then 40+ in May, on roughly 1 in 100,000 in young adults; several countries dropped it entirely. 4) RSV vaccines and Guillain-Barre Syndrome - probably the best example. Early VAERS showed ~4.4/~1.8 (2 different vaccines) per million doses. Studies showed 9-22 excess cases per million doses, ACIP narrowed the recommendation from 60+ to 75+, and the FDA requires a GBS warning (even though the at the time the best study showed that the difference may not be statistically significant, and we now know there was a statistical signficance). 6) mRNA vaccines and myocarditis - Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway suspended it <30y and FDA extended dose intervals. Determined the age gradient it affected almost immediately, and modified practice because of it. It is now felt to be a real signal, concentrated in young males after dose 2 during the primary series, and now (most recent analysis) 1/37,000 in 12-24 and still a very reassuring prognosis when it occurs (according to one Norwegian nationwide follow-up study) So hey, when we say vaccines are "Safe" what we mean is: 1) OUR CURRENT BEST EVIDENCE IS THAT THEY ARE SAFER THAN ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU DO 2) We are watching VERY VERY VERY closely and we will YOINK TF OUT OF ANY VACCINE if we are concerned of even a MINIMAL CONCERN The public should be very reassured that these systems are in place all over the world (virtually every modern country), they are being very carefully monitored and they've all generally agreed on the same result (though sometimes approach it differently).
