A senior says she ended up in the ER after being denied Paxlovid

"Canada's abundant supply of Paxlovid, the potentially life-saving COVID-19 treatment, has largely gone unused — an oversight that experts say has likely caused a number of unnecessary deaths."

t.me/United24media/1768 ⚡️🇺🇸 In connection with a possible Russian attack on Kyiv, the United States may provide Ukraine with new weapons. The administration is considering the possibility of transferring to Ukraine:
▫️Patriot systems;
▫️Direct-guided munitions kits that turn unguided aircraft munitions into "smart" bombs;
▫️Earth bombs of small diameter, which will significantly increase the range of destruction. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia

New post at terribleminds --

THE BIRD SITE IS FUCKED

"Twitter right now is a live camera feed watching a highway in an ice storm — you tune in and watch car crash after car crash, the constant shriek of metal, the spinning out of vehicles, carfires burning effulgent in the whiteout blizzard, and when you get a clear moment, when you squint, you realize every last one of those burning cars is a fucking Tesla."
