Teenage to Retires Mike

The Transient Return Of The Ring

Mike Garbutt -AKA- Riff Vandal on facebook, immigrated to Canada from the United Kingdom in his mid 20's, and shortly afterwards met a young woman, fell in love and married. Mike spent the next 44 years of His life in a monogamous relationship from 1981 - 2025 [when He got his discharge papers, so to speak], as a responsible and accountable Husband and Father of one Son.

Mike has lived & worked away from home on the road since 1972, so to speak, during which time He saved enough money (when He could find a job!) so as to be able to afford 15 years of post-secondary education; 15 years full-time education living and working away from home on the road, 5 years living and working away from Home in London, UK studying Automotive Technology and 10 years in Healthcare in Calgary & Edmonton, Alberta, & Manitoba "On The Prairies" in Canada, where I've spent the most recent 40 years either working as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, a Medical Scientist & an Independent Investigator [endorsed by Heiz Feldmann, M.D., Ph.D. https://www.niaid.nih.gov]. & I've helped develop an efficacious EBOLA vaccine that has in the past & may in the future, prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths in Africa and elsewhere on Earth. And I've performed volunteer work as a palliative care musician amid vulnerable people with limited functional capacities of one description or another for 15 years since 2002, & I've studied every aspect of Canada's politics, healthcare, justice & police state that I can, on the Prairies, My Home, since I got here in 1979. ..

Plus, I've served within my Winnipeg, Manitoba community since 1998 playing Host & Master of Ceremonies on the Musicians Network (Winnipeg, MB), which was first served out of "bytes4U" an up~start social media company since 1998, but nowadays The Musicians Network (Winnipeg, MB) has a facebook page sharing local Winnipeg memes. ..

Its hard to believe that the first of two career ending work related injuries I've sustained in my life occurred in 1981. & it was after I hurt my back humping a rear axle truck spring on my own (hot tip = don't do that!) that I spent 10 agonizing years sitting down in the classroom becoming a medical scientist and independent investigator to earn an income (hot tip = definitely don't do that!!). ..

I've also spent time at home, schooling myself on Canadian culture and whatnot, and I’m celebrating serving 44 years Monogamously in Matrimony in Canada as a responsible and accountable adult, partner of a nowadays Ex-Wife & Parent of one Son, caring for Two K9s, 4 felines, birds and lots of flora too, and I’m celebrating that I worked in Canada's Healthcare system for 30+ years, during which time I earned 3 Medical Science degrees and 4 diplomas, including 3 in Automotive Mechanics and Medical Laboratory Sciences, & to go along with the Guinness Trophy I won in 1979 for graduating as the best final year craft student out of Willesden College of Technology, Denzil Road, London, NW10 2XD as the most proficient Automotive Mechanic, I'm celebrating that I won the most proficient student graduating in the final year practicing medical laboratory science from SAIT and The Calgary General Hospital between 1984 & 1986 & I personally assisted Heinz Feldmann demonstrating the efficacy if the first EBOLA vaccine on Earth <--- A Lot Of People Helped Put Both Heinz & I In That Privileged Spot.

Please lead by example, follow with respect, be at home with yourself and keep your guard up, tell the truth, support your position, stand your ground and watch your back too, take care, be kind and enjoy life, it's its own reward. ..

And please remember that there are only crimes and twists of fate. ..

She was just kidding

Life Tips

As an Independent Investigator [endorsed by Heiz Feldmann, M.D., Ph.D. https://www.niaid.nih.gov] & speaking as the former Head of Biological & Environmental Safety for Canada (2003 - 2004), working at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Manitoba (1998 - 2010), I do not feel safe in my own country for justifiable reasons of discrimination [Employment Discrimination, Religious Discrimination, Racism in Canada, Nepotism, Occupational Sexism, Conversion Therapy, Socio-Economic Privilege, Ageism, Physical Disability, Entrapment & Elite Capture] & I'd declare today's Medical Laboratory Diagnostics at NML-PHAC as untrustworthy because of widely reported Infiltration, Occupation, New Dogma, Deny [complainers] Services & Ignore [complainers] To Death, as well as my own and my families personal experiences, working at NML-PHAC as well as working in Canada as a Canadian & Canadian Trained Healthcare Professional since 4 decades ago, specifically, I suspect FRAUD in Healthcare Diagnostics, I suspect FRAUD in Mental Health as well as criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain by Criminals on the Prairies of Canada who have infiltrated High Profile positions on the Prairies. ..

Employment Discrimination, Religious Discrimination, Racism in Canada, Nepotism, Occupational Sexism, Conversion Therapy, Socio-Economic Privilege, Ageism, Physical Disability, Entrapment, Elite Capture etc., guilt, shame, beggar-my-neighbor, deny services, ignore to death for example. ..

A Friend is a Companion demonstrating CUECATS sensibility Caring, Understanding, Empathy, Compassion, Affection, Tenderness & Support.

I've been trained On The Prairies of Canada to regard severe acute respiratory & acute immune dysrhythmia syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as an Airborne AIDS causing virus as published in peer reviewed public domain medical journals like HIV-AIDS.

If airborne COVID causes AIDS as reported in Peer Reviewed Public Domain Medical Journals, why are people still walking the streets unprotected, and if COVID isn't airborne AIDS, why vaccine passports?

Thank you and take care, Mike
