'Drowning happens quickly and drowning happens quietly': P.E.I. pediatricians raise alarm about Charlottetown's proposed pool bylaw change | SaltWire https://t.co/XTLiwCV38i

[Peter MacPherson @drpmacpherson]

As pediatricians, we are gravely concerned that a proposed bylaw amendment in @ChtownPE would remove the need for a pool fence in some cases. This would increase the risk of children drowning in our community. This amendment must be denied by council. Our press release 👇

Great news. The US has given ~4.2 million 1st doses & ~320,000 2nd doses of #COVID19 vaccine to kids b/w ages 5-11 so far.

ZERO cases of myocarditis reported!

We're still watching closely, but so far vaccine seems INCREDIBLY safe for young kids. 🎉🎉🎉

Don't just teach your children how to be successful, teach them how to respond when they are not successful, teach them how to handle failures and learn from their mistakes. 🧠

If you think pediatricians are promoting COVID vaccines because we're being paid off to ignore harm to children, rather than because we've dedicated our lives to protecting children, you really need to get to know more pediatricians.

When you or a family member receive your COVID vaccine, consider making a donation to UNICEF, who are leading the way to advocate for and deliver doses to low income countries. The Pandemic won’t end till people everywhere are vaccinated. See @unicef https://t.co/4Fo8mlH2JH

Grateful to have the president of @SMA_docs present to the #PhysicianTownHall tonight and share this quote from @JillianHortonMD.

So glad to hear from Dr. Strydom and @drsusanshaw about this topic; advocacy is a core role of physicians’ duties.
