NOVEMBER 24 2024-HOW RFK JR AS HEALTH SECRETARY COULD IMPACT CANADA & DETERMINING THE RIGHT TIME TO TAKE YOUR CPP His ideas have been called “Quackery on steroids." From the debunked claims that vaccines cause autism and fluoridation causes brain damage, the appointment of anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the US secretary of health and human services is considered a danger. And while that peril is south of the border, Canadian doctors are worried about the fallout here in Canada. Tim Caulfield is research director of the Health Law Institute, at the university of Alberta and a leading debunker of pseudoscientific myths and health misinformation. And It's a major financial decision that will affect our entire lives in retirement and many of us don't give it the attention it deserves. When to take the CPP? We think of 65 as the usual time but you can begin receiving it as early as age 60 or as late as age 70 or anywhere in between. Take it early and use it as you wish or defer it and collect more - actually a whole lot more. Financial planner Jason Pereira crunched the numbers with me.

The summer is half over, vaccination rates are rising, but we aren't out of the pandemic woods yet. And since we last explored vaccine passports, the question of whether businesses can legitimately ask for proof of vaccination to enter – whether it's a restaurant or a sports arena – has only become more fraught.Restaurateur Jacob Wharton-Shukster tells us what happened when he announced that an indoor seat at his Toronto restaurant Le Phénix would require proof of vaccination. Then, privacy researcher Blake Murdoch of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta explains why he thinks provincial governments can and should implement vaccine passport systems that are fair and secure.

Tim Caulfield, Professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health, and Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta, speaks to Vardit Ravitsky about the spread of misinformation on social media during the pandemic, and how we can address this issue through action and policy changes. Tim Caulfield, professeur à la faculté de droit et à l'École de santé publique de l'Université de l'Alberta, et directeur de recherche du Health Law Institute de l'Université de l'Alberta, s'entretient avec Vardit Ravidsky pour discuter de la propagation de fausses informations sur les réseaux sociaux, et des façons pour contrer ce problème par le biais de l'action directe et de changements politiques.

Social media is filling up with people taking selfies as they get their vaccine injection. Is this due to social media's inherent narcissism, people trying to help combat vaccine hesitancy or something more? Guest: Tim Caulfield, Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy, a Professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health, and Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta - As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, new music is starting to emerge about what it's like experiencing the pandemic restrictions that have been put in place. Do you want to keep hearing about the pandemic or would you rather it be forgotten once this is all over? Guest: Eric Alper, Publicist, Music Commentator & Shameless Idealist - It would appear that the federal government has declared its stance on racism and critical race theory. This comes as we find out how Canadian diplomats will be educated on racism and how apparently only white people are capable of being racist. Is this how we should be presenting Canada to the world?

To say that the media has a public trust problem, earned or not, is an understatement. How should we evaluate the media’s coverage of the pandemic, and how can we all become more savvy media consumers? Joining us to help make sense of these questions is Dr. Timothy Caulfield, Professor of Law at University of Alberta, Canada, Research Director of the Health Law Institute and current Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy. He is the author of the national bestseller The Cure for Everything: Untangling the Twisted Messages about Health, Fitness and Happiness (Penguin 2012) and Relax, Dammit!: A User's Guide to the Age of Anxiety (Penguin Random House, 2020).

Our inboxes have been filled to the brim with advice from people peddling vitamins, herbs, and diets—all claiming that the product that they were hawking would help supercharge the body’s defenses to ward off the coronavirus. Is there any truth to these pitches? Can certain foods—like elderberries, garlic, and zinc—really help strengthen your immune system? How about a good night’s sleep, or getting enough exercise? We take a hard look at these claims, with help from Timothy Caulfield, a law professor at the University of Alberta and the research director of its Health Law Institute. He studies how companies and brands use and misuse medical and scientific research, and he’s the host of the TV series A User's Guide to Cheating Death, in which he debunks pseudoscientific claims.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an equally dangerous “infodemic” — an onslaught of misinformation which threatens our ability to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance. It's something that Timothy Caulfield fights against as a UAlberta professor of law, research director of its Health Law Institute, author and documentary TV host. Listen as Tim helps us unravel the many conspiracy theories surrounding the pandemic, and separate fact from fiction once and for all. This episode was recorded on June 11, 2020. At the time, there were 7,167 cases of Covid-19 in Alberta.
