Two things can be true at the same time:

1) A ‘Super’ El Niño is here, and it’s going to raise temperatures and likely cause extreme weather across the world. 🌡️

2) Human-caused climate change doesn't stop, even when El Niño goes away 🌎

A thermal map of planet Earth is shown on a black background. A text reads: “We are in the strongest El Niño ever recorded at this time of year. That means more extreme weather in many places. A Super El Niño does not mean that climate change isn't real.”

When it comes to getting vaccinated, convenience is one of the most important factors.

Unless you have a specific reason to get one or are considered at risk, they are not proven to help improve your health or extend your life.

Sauna salesman, Rodney Palmer, often rolled out by antivaxxers as a media expert (worked in media yrs ago?).

At "Allison Inquiry" (sigh) pushes misleading & rage bait spin about me, "ScienceUpFirst", vaccines, and the media (especially CBC).

THIS guy is a "mic drop" expert? So sad. So desperate.

When you see a conspiracy theory like this, it’s probably easy for you to brush it off. But these theories aren’t popular because of their logic!

Understanding what to watch for can help protect you in the future.
