Ontario’s children deserve data driven decisions that affect their access to school.

Now enrolling: A peanut allergy study is testing an investigational tablet containing peanut protein that dissolves under the tongue for individuals ages 4 to 65. See if you or your child may qualify. Contact [email protected]

@vaillancourt_dr Yes. Facts

Typical clinic day now includes a 2-year-old who only has 5 words, an 8-year-old with new-onset obesity, and a preschool-age child with no social skills from being home bound. A disastrous avalanche of child health probs of our own making—not “from the pandemic.” @AmerAcadPeds

Although World Autism Day was recognized Sunday, April 2, here in LDSB, schools across the district continue their learning journey and celebrate neurodiversity today, Monday, April 3. #worldautismday

School closures and learning loss. The longer schools closed, the greater the learning losses

[Coalition for Kids @CoalitionKids]

@rvanwylick 100%
There's alot to do in primary care.

[Coalition for Kids @CoalitionKids]

@vaillancourt_dr @uOttawaEdu Oh that is so sad.

[Coalition for Kids @CoalitionKids]

School based measures that go above and beyond public health guidance cause unintended harms.

Ask school board trustees and staff to stick to education decisions.

Let public health make health decisions.

Customize the letter to suit your concerns.

I see a lot of people - on both "sides" - making simple mistakes about masks. I've studied PPE, taught PPE, and overseen PPE programs, including teams implementing fit testing in hospitals, long before covid.

A thread

[Coalition for Kids @CoalitionKids]

@FurnessColin @Jim75209082 There’s no money to be made in defending kids’ access to in-person school. Unions pay consulting fees to academics/MDs for opinions to close schools. Full disclosure on such consulting fees is only ethically so media and the public can assess the merits of “expert” opinions.

[Andrea Feller @AndreaFeller2]

If I've earned your trust, read on.

Children desperately need support. We have to sacrifice what we can to serve them.

NO to closing schools, camps, childcare etc.

High quality supports for kids are essential from a medical, social services, economics perspective and more.

@imgrund @cristina_CP24 You’re spreading misinformation. Dr Golden sees her patients exclusively in person. What’s the motivation for attacking this physician?

[Coalition for Kids @CoalitionKids]

@imgrund You’re spreading misinformation: Dr Golden only sees patients in person. Replacing isolation with test-to-stay change many child-focused advocates want. Great to see that you too support this move.
