Apologies for the last minute posting but we post first on Meetup so please sign up there. The weather is still nice enough for a canal walk just dress in layers.

This is a harmful & absurd lie.

This isn't a "perspective" or part of an ongoing scientific debate.

Reality: the COVID vaccines saved million of lives & would have saved more but for misinformation & inequitable distribution. ht @jonathanstea 🙏

If you find yourself worshipping fringe experts, alternative medicine gurus, and physicians who have been sanctioned for spreading misinformation, then you might want to rethink where you’re getting your health information.

More about #BacktotheVax. We started a support group for former #antivax or #hesitant people who want to vaccinate with confidence. There are plenty of OTF or slow vax groups that still equate vaccines with poison. We are not that.

Why anyone can promote privatization and two-tier care after seeing the devastation in long-term care homes from COVID-19 (yup, two-tier right there, you don't have to hunt for it), is enough to make one cry. @karenpalmeryvr @docdanielle @SteveUBC @CaulfieldTim @jgdownie

A new study "did NOT find that the aluminum in #vaccines caused asthma. This is not a scandal or an exposé – it’s safety data from an observational study, not new clinical data."

[CFI Ottawa @CFIOttawa]

A problem we share.

[Dr. Jonathan N. Stea @jonathanstea]

@Dianora_1 @lizduffy22 1/

Well said. I share your interests too. 😊

I think it’s also important to highlight how harassment can come with the science communication territory, especially for new trainees.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong!

This is the science-free, fearmongering, conspiracy BS fuelling political debate in Canada now? WTF?

SO angry, I'm shaking. We'd hired movers, to move big furniture to other room. The movers REFUSE to come in, because we asked them to mask (we provide N95s!). We said we have a MEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILD, & they don't give a f*ck. Say "no mandates"! I can't even... #onhealth @nilikm
