People in B.C. who use toxic illicit drugs and are at risk of overdosing or dying will soon be able to access alternative drugs, the minister of mental health and addictions announced Thursday.
During a news conference, Sheila Malcolmson said the expanded safer supply program will help save lives by offering a substitute to poisoned street drugs to reduce overdose deaths.
She said the new policy will allow people who have been clinically assessed to have access to prescribed alternative drugs, like oral opioids, as a way to replace drugs that could be laced with potentially deadly fentanyl.
“At the start of the pandemic, B.C. provided access to some prescribed safer supply medications to save lives from overdose and protect people from COVID-19,” Malcolmson said.
[A friend raised this topic, and I thought it was time to revisit it and see the current state of research. Enjoy the good news!]
Skeptics have argued that because there were no samples of breast-feeding mothers in vaccine trials, it is unknown as to whether vaccines are safe when nursing.
Sigh.
These concerns are theoretical; the engineering in the vaccines is real.
The argument for safety of vaccines is based on the genetic engineering used to produce this generation of COVID products. Vaccines based on mRNA technology simply don’t have the risks associated with older products developed through culturing eggs. That’s also why mRNA vaccines are much faster in production. We’re not going through the cumbersome and time consuming process of impregnating chickens, waiting for eggs, collecting eggs and harvesting the vaccine from them. Instead, we’re using computer science to directly produce what we want. Everything you know about…
Employers in Britain are raising fears that a “pingdemic” could cause a major economic disruption this summer, after more than half a million people in a single week were pinged by the government’s contact-tracing app, alerting them they may have been exposed to the coronavirus and should stay home for up to 10 days.
Already, factories, pubs, restaurants and schools are reporting staff shortages resulting from quarantine guidance, which in England and Wales, for at least another month, still applies to people who are fully vaccinated.
New figures published this week show the National Health Service covid-19 app sent more than 520,000 exposure notifications between July 1 and 7 — up 46 percent from the previous week and a record high. The app, which has been downloaded more than 26 million times, was not in as widespread use during previous waves of the virus in Britain. But the numbers still reflect a high level of community spread. On Friday, the United Kingdom reported 51,870 new coronavirus cases, the highest daily figure in six months.
Travelers were required to wear masks on the flights as well as in the U.S. airports because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic
“Therefore, it’s believed the risk of spread of monkeypox via respiratory droplets to others on the planes and in the airports is low,” the Dallas County statement said.
Monkeypox is a rare but potentially serious viral illness that typically begins with flu-likesymptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes and progresses to a widespread rash on the face and body. Most infections last two to four weeks. Monkeypox is in the same family of viruses as smallpox but causes a milder infection.
In this case, CDC laboratory testing showed the patient is infected with a strain of monkeypox most commonly seen in parts of West Africa, including Nigeria. Infections with this strain of monkeypox are fatal in about 1 in 100 people, according to a CDC statement. However, rates can be higher in people who have weakened immune systems. Currently, there is no proven, safe treatment for monkeypox virus infection.
