Income support doesn't cause overdose. Income support doesn't cause overdose. Income support doesn't cause overdose. Income support doesn't cause overdose. Income support doesn't cause overdose. Income support doesn't cause overdose.

Temporality?
If CERB caused an increase in fatal ODs, the program had to come *before* the increase. The surge clearly started in *March*.
Compared to Feb:
AB: 43%âŹď¸
BC: 53%âŹď¸
ON: 19%âŹď¸
You couldn't even apply for CERB till *April 6*, and payments didn't come till mid-April.
Dose-response?
In causal relationships, there'sâŹď¸incidence where there'sâŹď¸exposure.
In April when people started getting CERB OD deaths went up in:
AB by 26%
BC by 4.3%
ON by 29%
But the proportion of people getting CERB was statistically *the same* (~23.5%) in each province.
Coherence with established evidence?
The literature shows financial *insecurity*, not financial support, contributes to higher risk substance use and poorer health outcomes. The "CERB made ODs go up" narrative isn't just inconsistent with the science. It's *opposite* to it.
More plausible than other explanations?
The mechanism suggested for the "CERB effect" is that when you give extra money to people previously living on less than we need to survive (that's the *actual* problem), they buy a bunch of drugs and die. So fatality rates go up.
BREAKING!!! \U0001f6a8\U0001f6a8\U0001f6a8 Rick from @TruNews claims to have intel that @realDonaldTrump WILL be issuing a Martial Law in MI, WI, PA, GA, and likely AZ as well and FULLY secure/lockdown ALL election facilities, and assets.

âWhat authority does POTUS have specifically over the Marines?â
âonly branch of service that falls directly under exec commandâ
âNati Sec Act of 1947, amended in 1952, specifies the duties of the USMC to include: âperform such other duties as the president may direct.ââ

The piece talks about the B117 variant as if itâs not SARS-CoV-2, but it is. B117 is distinguished by 23 changes across the genome, but itâs still fundamentally the same virus. Itâs a different variant (some are calling it a strain depending on how thatâs defined).
But 23 nucleotide changes arenât sufficient to make this a completely different virus. So we are still fighting SARS-CoV-2. Just a new and improved version. Improved how? Well itâs more transmissible but the mechanism isnât yet known.
When viruses become more transmissible it can happen in a few different ways:
-virus can be more fit (replicate to higher titers, hence more shedding)
-virus can replicate more efficiently in specific tissues (like the nose)
-spike can bind the receptor more efficiently and...
...thus infect host cells more efficiently
-virus can get better at evading/antagonizing innate host antiviral defenses
-increased environmental stability
-people can shed virus for longer periods of time

Judge rules \u201cno standing\u201d in my lawsuit to toss fraudulent Biden electors. If I don\u2019t have standing, no one does. When no one ever has standing, what good is a court system? My response on @Newsmax below #SaveTheRepublic #StopTheSteal https://t.co/HLQCM6S5CE

Federal courts rule that lawsuits for @RealDonaldTrump before election law/constitutional violations are premature and that lawsuits after election law/constitutional violations are too late.

I hope nobody had high hopes that the GOP would do the right thing.
The GOP remains the Party of Trump and is hardening into an extremist anti-democratic
They are the anti-rule of law, anti truth party. https://t.co/e6EME39xNn
Fortunately, they're outnumbered.
Not by much, but they're outnumbered.
They clearly aren\u2019t the party of LAW AND ORDER

Hi, everyone.
A lot of these doomsday comments are annoying me.
Have you all learned nothing over the past few years?
You might want to duck because, I'm about to go on a tear . . .
The same people telling me we're doomed and democracy is dead are probably the same people who told me (1) Trump would make himself dictator (2) The Supreme Court would keep him in office and (3) he would never leave the White House.
Nobody owes you a democracy . . .
My mantra the past 4 years: democracy will survive if enough people want it to, and are willing to do the work.
Did the doomsday people happen to see that the vote was 55-45 in favor of holding a trial?
I think the problem is there has been so much peddling of hope porn. . .
