That's #MedMastodon now suspended by the hosting following our cancellation request.

@neil Haha reminds me of that time in 2007 when the NHS Medical Training Application Service, the entity with the monopoly on doctors applying for specialty training jobs, openly published online personal details, including telephone numbers and sexual orientation, of applicants. I'm given to understand that the firm to whom the job had been contracted was er... rewarded with more government contracts.

Which is to say, even an account with a second party has a significant possibility of getting contracted out to a third party. Argh!

Another #vaccine preventable disease on the rise.
"IMD has a death rate of 14 per cent in #Canada, with infants and young adults among those most at risk of fatal outcomes. Another 15 to 20 per cent of people infected have long-term health impacts such as hearing loss, limb amputations or neurological disabilities."

Dangerous bacterial infection hits highest level seen in Canada in more than a decade | CBC News

Annual cases of invasive meningococcal disease, a rare but dangerous bacterial infection, have hit the highest level seen in Canada in more than a decade. This rapidly-progressing illness can cause meningitis, sepsis or even death, and children and young adults often bear the brunt.

Just to say, I'm now suspending any #MedMastodon accounts which are still actively posting. The actual cut off when hosting will stop should be the 5th / 6th by the looks of it so there is still some time to migrate accounts.

Any accounts suspended can appeal the suspension if they want to migrate their relationships and I'll get the account restored.

I'll move my Med-Mastodon account in the next couple of days as well.
