Talked to a surgeon today, who didn't even know Covid was surging because the hospitals he works at on Vancouver Island aren't even bothering to do daily census reports anymore, unless it becomes critical staffing
He actually was interested - relayed the current variant surge, then showed what KP.3 was doing now in Europe - his comment
'we'll be cancelling procedures in August, and September will be a shit show'
Medics get it IF they are getting the info

#UnitedNations: #Australian #Aboriginal children seized, '#GreenEnergy' impacts worsen for #Sami
by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, July 9, 2024
"Australian Aboriginal continue to be seized from their families by the government, and the situation for Sami in Norway is worsening because of 'green energy' projects, Indigenous representatives told the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples today.
"Both #Norway and #Australia had country engagements with the UN Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, but Australian Aboriginal representatives said conditions are not improving.
"During today's session, the second day in the week-long session, Sami told the U.N. that conditions in Norway are worsening for Sami, because their land is being seized for 'green energy' projects, including wind energy projects.
Sami stated that #ClimateChange is drastic in the #Arctic in Norway, far worse than in other regions, and that #FossilFuel industries continue to destroy Sami lands.
"Free, prior and informed #consent, as stated in the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (#UNDRIP), is not being honored in regards to Sami reindeer herders by the government of Norway.
"The U.N. Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples engaged in a country visit to Norway in March. Consultation, #EnergyLaw, and Norway's new #MineralAct, were among the topics.
"A representative from #Africa, responding to the report, said the impacts of green energy on Sami shows that the exploitation of Indigenous Peoples for green energy projects is a global issue. While #IndigenousLands are being seized for minerals, the minerals and products are usually exported, and are not of benefit to Indigenous Peoples whose land the minerals are taken from.
"Sami in #Finland said the government of Finland is violating the rights of Sami by failing to recognize Sami people.
"A Native representative told the U.N. that their Native hunting and fishing rights continue to be violated by the government of Canada.
"On Monday, Indigenous described how the murder of Indigenous Peoples continues in #Colombia, and there has been no relief from the violence from armed groups."

'The first patient to receive a kidney from a genetically engineered pig was Richard Slayman, 62, who had the procedure in March at Mass General Brigham in Boston. Though he was well enough to be discharged two weeks after the surgery, he, like Ms. Pisano, suffered from complex medical problems and died within two months.'

'On 21 June, Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni announced plans to ban short term rentals in the city starting in November 2028. The decision is designed to solve what Collboni described as "Barcelona's biggest problem" – the housing crisis that has seen residents and workers priced out of the market – by returning the 10,000 apartments currently listed as short-term rentals on Airbnb and other platforms into the housing market.'
