Nothing to see here. Just a Canadian running their air conditioning day and night…in October, in one of the coldest capital cities in the world.

Ok 🇦🇺 I get the snakes, spiders, box jellyfish, dingoes, poisonous platypi etc but now you have magpies and whales killing people, too?

Is there a single Australian creature that does NOT kill humans?
🐨? Quokka?

I think we should be very clear about what is a “cause of death”

In patient who are provided , the cause of death is the underlying illness that made them eligible for MAiD

So MAiD is not a cause of death

Take it from a guy who actually completes death certificates

In the US, thousands of people needlessly perished because they refused a COVID-19 immunization in the summer and fall of 2021.

The unvaccinated were targeted by a well-financed and newly politicized anti-vaccine movement.
