"I'm unvaccinated and I'm fine" is like saying "I drove home steaming drunk and made it back OK"

Both can be true

Neither is a good idea

Here’s a quick reference guide on what U.S. products to avoid and some Canadian 🇨🇦 brand alternatives.

Vaccines preventing cancer!

Amazing

[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

There is a measles outbreak in New Brunswick, with at least 25 confirmed cases to date.

The measles vaccine is very effective, free, safe, and widely available.

🤷🏽Do I need a MEASLES VACCINE?

💉1 Dose if:
Born 1970-1996
Work in healthcare
Travelling outside🇨🇦-EVERYONE 6 mos & up
Studying in post-secondary schools
In the military
Unsure you've had measles

💉💉2 doses if born after 1996

NO NEED if born before 1970 -likely had measles

🧐I suspect this won't be advertised in 🇨🇦 cannabis stores...

This is a Nova Scotia specific tweet. And another opportunity for Nova Scotians to continue to help, support and educate the people most vulnerable to COVID.

[Tim Bousquet @Tim_Bousquet]

Premier Tim Houston celebrates the Junior Hockey championships in Halifax and the large crowds. 15 minutes later, Health minister Michelle Thompson tells us people should avoid large social gatherings.

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

Other than the fact that these are only the numbers until Nov 26, 2022 and the number of hospitalizations is staggering, THIS is weird. This immediately stood out for me. More 10-16 year olds hospitalized than 6-23 month olds.

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

So here it is guys, another dagger through the heart of the “immunity debt” disinfo op. This is the breakdown of cumulative influenza hospitalizations in Canada to date for this season. Notice something weird?

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

Shocking that the uptake of bivalent boosters isn’t better given the nearly 2 year long government effort to convince us COVID is over, or at least extremely mild, and that no steps need to be taken to mitigate its transmission.

Canada's Healthcare Crisis:

Pediatric hospice discharges respite patients, so staff are redeployed to children's hospital where there's not enough staff for the surge in patients

Dr. @JVipondmd says he doesn't recognize the society he's living in

[Canada's Nurses @CFNU]

Linda Silas, @CFNUPresident said overtime, sometimes mandatory, is among the reasons nurses are moving to jobs in the private sector. “We have to stop the bleeding...Canadian patients and their families are suffering and our workforce is burned out.”

[Children's Healthcare Canada @ChildHealthCan]

Lots of great advice from children's hospitals available to help guide decisions about when and where to seek care for sick children. 👇

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

Nothing to see here. Just the CEO of Ottawa's children's hospital mentioning that they've had to create a "pop-up ICU" to care for overflowing, horribly ill, infants and toddlers.
