I was shocked to read that ER doctors have not received a second vaccination. All that empty talk about our “front line heroes,” stories of how they have separated themselves from family to avoid spreading the virus, the stress and PTSD from the exceptional conditions they face and they are not given priority for an optimum vaccine protocol?
We are importing health-care workers from Newfoundland because ours are burning out, and the number of COVID patients is increasing. It seems completely counterintuitive that we are not giving maximum protection to the workers who are keeping our system functioning in extreme circumstances. It should be top priority to get these doctors and nurses fully vaccinated now.

Lil MacPherson wrote, There is now a new understanding from soil science all over the world that we have a huge potential carbon sink, and the answer is just beneath our feet, the soil, and it can save us. By focusing on regenerative organic farming practices (now called carbon farming) and no-till farming, we can sequester atmospheric carbon and start to reverse this dangerous legacy load of carbon in the atmosphere. It s the only real technology that can safely sequester and store carbon at a rate that can make a real difference to help stabilize this planet.
