Saturday Snap – Swimming Lessons in the Age of Covid

Sasha missed her first week while we were waiting for a Covid test result (luckily negative!) Then when we arrive for this week, it’s a very different experience than ever before – proof of vaccination to enter a city facility, get a stamp to confirm to any other staff that we were screened by their […]

Scary Science Facts – Even If It’s Halloween, Don’t Read This Thread If You Have Anxiety/Depression!

This thread probably isn’t a good one to read ever, let alone on the scariest day of the year! “Scientists of Reddit, what’s a scary science fact the public is generally unaware of?” Happy Halloween everyone! This one is of particular interest to Saskatchewan… If you think the pandemic was bad, this is possibly the […]

“I have no shame in pleading to the public” – Sask Chief Public Health Officer Gets Emotional

I don’t think Scott Moe has the emotional maturity and empathy to speak like this… Moe does, however, has the ability to turn Saskatchewan into a dystopian nightmare… Several of my patients were selected for evacuation to Ontario this week.

Secular Sunday – What Does Your Faith Exempt You From?

There are a few (very few!) medical exemptions I can understand for not getting the vaccine – if you are allergic to something in the vaccine, if you had a serious reaction/event after your first shot and, uhm, not much else? But I’ve never understood being exempted on religious grounds. Even if you believe in […]

One of Saskatchewan’s Highest Profile Anti-Vaxxers & Former PPC Candidate Rumoured To Be In Saskatoon Covid Ward

But I don’t think he qualifies for the Herman Cain Award…yet. I want ZERO Saskatchewan residents to die from covid. Pro-vax, anti-vax, young or old. Perfect health or numerous comorbidities, it's a gruesome way to suffer and die. My condolences to @MarkFriesen08 as I've verified someone with his name is at RUH. — Kyle Anderson […]

Secular Sunday – Pastor Who Kept Church Open During Pandemic Dies of Covid

If you believe in mythology, it’s a lot harder to believe in science… (And honestly, I picked one random example but there are dozens if not hundreds of examples from across North America and around the world where religious leaders are playing a role in making the pandemic worse by giving bad advice to their […]

“The Walls Are Closing In On The Unvaccinated”

An Angus Reid poll showed that 75 per cent of Canadians agreed with the statement “I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who chose not to be vaccinated and then got COVID-19.” In B.C., 53 per cent favoured making vaccines mandatory in public places to make life harder for unvaccinated people, while another […]
