Not that it bears repeating... But if you plan to disrupt, harass & intimidate patients, caregivers & health care workers at a hospital in the name of your "freedom", you have forfeited it. The hospital is a sacred place. Leave it in peace.

Long suspected but now emerging evidence that vaccination prevents #LongCovid EVEN if infected. Very reassuring, especially for young, otherwise healthy people! #VaxToTheMax

The recent increase of COVID-related ICU admissions has strained the adult health-care system, while ICU admissions at SickKids have remained low. As a result, we are preparing to open an eight-bed ICU for previously healthy adults with COVID-19, if needed https://t.co/VVXn5gDatn
