Court denies injunction to unvaccinated Quebec caregivers seeking access to residents

Unvaccinated Quebec caregivers in court to gain access to long-term care homes Natalia Manole had argued in court last week that vulnerable residents are suffering without access to caregivers, and if unvaccinated health-care workers are able to work in the same facilities provided they test negative, people looking after loved ones should be afforded the same right.In his ruling, Brossard says he must abide by the presumption that the government is acting in the public interest with its COVID-19 health measures, despite serious concerns raised by the plaintiffs.Brossard says he hopes the epidemiological situation improves, allowing authorities to once again give all caregivers access to health-care establishments.He also suggests, “with goodwill,” that caregivers who are unvaccinated strictly due to personal choice should “calmly, but diligently” re-evaluate their decision and its impact on the people they’re looking after.

Judge bans honking from truckers in downtown Ottawa for 10 days

granted a 10-day injunction on Monday that forbids truckers parked on city streets in downtown Ottawa from constantly honking their horns."Tooting a horn is not an expression of any great thought I'm aware of," Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean said during court proceedings, according to the CBC.McLean said he had heard sufficient evidence that the incessant honking from the convoy in protest of government vaccine mandates is impinging on Ottawa residents' right for "quiet, if we can use that term," which he said trumped the trucker's right to protest.McLean emphasized that his injunction was temporary because a "myriad of people" might wish to be heard before the court on the issue.Paul Champ, a lawyer for a 21-year-old public servant named Zexi Li, sought an injunction that would prohibit anyone in the ongoing Freedom Convoy protest from sounding their horns while near downtown. The Freedom Convoy has remained in Ottawa for more than a week.Protesters of the Freedom convoy gather near the parliament hill as truckers continue to protest in Ottawa, Canada on February 7, 2022.

It’s time to speak unapologetically to Black America’s emotional wounds

racial battle fatigue, which lies at the root of Black America’s presumed disaffection for July 4.Racial battle fatigue among many Black Americans is likely at its peak after months of required physical distancing, mounting and disproportionately higher COVID-19 deaths in their communities, and the recent killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Dreasjon Reed, Elijah McClain, and George Floyd. The combined impact of COVID-19 and racism is brewing what Poteat and colleagues describe as a lethal force of mental health syndemics — or the social patterning of co-occurring disease conditions across place and time.
