Well, they're kinda right if you consider that DEI got rid of their "white boys only" rule for finding applicants.

That's what they're really pissed about.

The most special of the #specialsnowflakes are the far right.

So very, very delicate and emotionally fragile.

Forgot to mention that

Have mentioned it before
BC Conservatives ARE the #ProDeath party

Killing off #HarmReduction = more drug poisoning deaths & brain damage.

Don't worry about those BC conservative #SpecialSnowflakes getting triggered

Tell them facts don't care about their feelings.

Harm Reduction & Medically Supported Treatment Saves Lives Drug poisoning death events prevented from 2019-2025 potentially fatal events were prevented ~8 of 10 THN Programs Observed Consumption Sites Opioid Agonist Treatment Are all effective services for preventing drug poisoning deaths. 78%78%death eventsdeath events PREVENTEDPREVENTED 59,000 Death events could have occurred with no interventions. 46,300 Death events were prevented with THN, observed consumption sites, or opioid agonist treatment. = Last update: September 2025 The toxic drug supply crisis was declared a public health emergency in 2016 and over 15,000 lives have been lost in BC. Health-care systems in BC have expanded services to address harms caused by the crisis. More people are accessing naloxone through the Take Home Naloxone (THN) program, visiting observed consumption sites where trained staff can respond if a drug poisoning (overdose) happens, and receiving opioid agonist treatment to manage withdrawals and cravings. The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) used modelling to estimate the impact these 3 services had on drug poisoning deaths from January 2019 to April 2025. Death Events Prevented by Service THN Opioid Agonist Treatment Observed Consumption Sites*37,20015,90022,300 *Includes drug poisonings managed on site and THN kits distributed by sites. Frequently asked questions The number of deaths prevented have increased because of the changes made to how data has been collected and because of the higher death rates per overdose calculated. Details of the changes made are described under “Why did BCCDC need to change the modelling methods?”. Previous work showed that ~45% of death events were prevented through these interventions, and now it’s ~78%. Why has it changed so much? No, the old results cannot be compared with the new results because the new model uses more data. Can I compare the old results with the new results? Yes, these methods have been evaluated by independent experts in the field that review the work for quality and accuracy. The peer reviewed paper can be found here: Irvine, M.A. et al (2024). “Estimating the total utilization of take home naloxone during an unregulated drug toxicity crisis: A Bayesian modeling approach.” International Journal of Drug Policy. 128 (2024): 104454. Have these methods been peer reviewed? Drug poisonings at selected health authority-funded observed consumption sites Monthly opioid agonist treatment clients from PharmaNet BC Coroners Service data on unregulated drug toxicity deaths BC Emergency Health Services data on paramedic-attended opioid drug poisonings What sources of data are included in the model? No. A prevented death could have occurred more than once for one person. For example, if a person had a drug poisoning (overdose) two times in 2023, but THN was used both times to prevent death, these two occurrences would count as two deaths prevented. Does 46,300 death events prevented mean that 46,300 lives were saved? The impact of a service can be limited if it is not easily accessible or available. Of the 3 services assessed, THN is easiest for people to access, especially in rural and remote areas. In comparison, observed consumption sites are not available in every community, may operate with limited hours, or only provide certain services. Additionally, …

You know what? Interrupting _anyone_ while they are working on something complex is annoying, not just coders. #specialsnowflakes
