@esjesjesj His thought experiment is also very poorly constructed. It amounts to: Imagine if you could semi-randomly reduce headcount and then instead of the approach I just suggested use some poorly defined metric instead to reduce headcount.

@ColinDMello They know that they are wrong but that many people support their policy because of what they think it will do (despite evidence to the contrary). It's an election ploy. It's also very Alberta to restrict access to federal funds/programs.

@jenniferhedger So you oppose a shelter, what is your realistic plan for the thousands of homeless people in Toronto?

@AmieVarley The comments are super gross. This is a great initiative. For all those who claim it's without evidence, you are uninformed. There is both need and benefits for diversity in healthcare.

@rebeccarightnow @BadMedicalTakes Most children can be safely cared for by a Family Physician and/or Nurse Practitioner. Especially if the parents are being seen by them. Paediatrics can be the primary provider for more complex and also can provide consult on specific issues.

@raghu_venugopal @SylviaJonesMPP Hopefully they expand the vaccine program in future years.

[Chris Draenos, NP @ChrisDraenos]

@BadMedicalTakes It's so sad when I see people utterly convinced they're providing informed consent to decline a vaccine for them/their children yet are so misinformed.
