In caring for and bearing with human suffering, hospital staff perform extreme emotional labour. Is there a better way?

Joe Biden is paying the price for America’s unprocessed COVID grief.

They saved us from disaster during the pandemic—but they also made costly errors.

The more time students spent in remote instruction, the further they fell behind. And, experts say, extended closures did little to stop the spread of Covid.

Amanda Goodhart says her 6-year old son Logan caught COVID multiple times. But even months later, his symptoms didn't get better.

Misinformation is being spewed, weaponized, and consumed at a deadly rate. Fortunately, there's a way out. Here's how to make sense of what you're seeing.

An internal review of the RCMP's response to the "Freedom Convoy" protests found that some officers at the scene of an Alberta blockade were unaware of threats to harm police.

In a landmark study, researchers have mapped the psychological landscape that shapes our susceptibility to conspiracy theories.

See, this is why you can trust vaccines - because independent labs are constantly doing the background work. It's not a grand conspiracy independent labs *worldwide, not random internet quacks, are constantly doing research and revalidating. It's what they do.

Naturally occurring “zombie or senescent cells” are being produced at an accelerated rate due to Covid-19, according to a recent study.

Scientists have announced a major discovery that has profound importance for our understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline seen in some patients with Long COVID.

Largest Study Yet on Vaccine Side Effects Shows Increased Risk, But Covid Poses Greater Danger.

Henry Miller: An environmental pressure group report on hexavalent chromium in drinking water hugely overstates negligible risk

This is a perfect example (and there are many) of post pandemic research and reviews - governments, researchers and studies willingly will admit faults *because they are made of people. People review, science reviews - nothing is hidden in some conspiratorial way. Because people are human and there is no grand conspiracy - if there was, someone with legitimate credibility would blow the whistle. Instead - all we see are quacks with little to no credibility. If they had any, legitimate professionals would take notice.
