> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “At least copy and paste the name of the province correctly, random idiot from whatever organization did this” Yeah it was a pretty dumb typo. I assume British-Colombians exist; I’m sure someone from Britain has repatriated to Colombia at some point. But Ms. Didulo was not one of them. (She emigrated to Canada from the Philippines.) This is the author of the piece if you’re wondering. [https://uk.linkedin.com/in/gino-spocchia-8269b4a6](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/gino-spocchia-8269b4a6) ---

Interestingly, the idjits who were apparently handing out flyers while trespassing at a school was noted in a local paper - on June 10. And there has been virtually no reporting about this person with mental challenges in Canada in the almost three weeks since. And this is a good thing, since the last person this whack-a-doodle with violent imagery needs is publicity. I’m confident that she did attract the attention of the RCMP though, and is currently being monitored. So she’s got that going for her anyway, which is nice. ---

A 4 year old boy in Colorado came down with the flu. His doctor prescribed Tamiflu. His mother went on a facebook anti-vax page and they told him to use essential oils, feed him elderberries and fruits and vegetables, and give him vitamins… He died. The guy who runs the facebook group said it was the fault of the hospital for not giving the little boy the crap the facebookers had recommended. > **[Anti-Vax Facebook Group Told CO Mom to Give Son Elderberries Instead of...](https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2020/02/anti-vax-facebook-group-told-co-mom-to-give-son-elderberries-instead-of-tamiflu-days-later-he-died/21138/)** > > The mother of a four-year-old boy in Southern Colorado who died of the flu Wednesday sought advice for "natural" remedies in an anti-vaccine Facebook group while he was ill, which... ---
