I imagine this probably surprises a lot of people who are not in academia 🤓

This guy is going to step in between the wrong father and a vaccine clinic, and it might be glorious.

Proud to have the opportunity to welcome the @InnovationCA board meeting hosted by @BrockUniversity today directly into our lab to briefly talk about our research. Thanks for your game-changing support! 🧫🔬@RweCrozier @jeremiacoish 📷@cjfwatson @BrockGradStudy @BrockUResearch

@charlottemyford @drmikehart I am currently pursuing a PhD in immunology so I know all about the immune system. I also know about the benefits of gut health, vit D and other natural ways to bolster your immune system. But this shouldn’t be a one or the other decision. Why not both strats in tandem?

[Colton J. F. Watson @cjfwatson]

@charlottemyford @drmikehart Why would I ever want to run the risk of my child catching a virus, especially one that we are still learning about day-to-day when there is a way for me to prevent that? You understand that there is a pretty long list of viruses that children are already? Right?

[Colton J. F. Watson @cjfwatson]

@charlottemyford @drmikehart Hey! Thanks for the input. Just out of curiosity is there any data available for the long-terms affects of sars-cov2 infection? Many viral (and other) infections can cause devastating effects even decades down the line (VSV and syphilis just to name a couple). Please send links!!

Dear @AaronRodgers12,

You're NOT a "critical thinker". You ARE 100% a selfish "anti-vax flat earther".

Despite MOUNTAINS of great evidence in support of vaccines, you rejected in favour of homeopathic bunk. So, um, pretty darn #antivaxxer.

@katcarbonara Congratulations!! 🎉

[Colton J. F. Watson @cjfwatson]

So proud to have my research published in such a prestigious journal! @adamjmacneil @MPHDlab @RweCrozier

[Journal of Leukocyte Biology @jlb_journal]

We are pleased to share the 2020 Impact Factor for the Journal of Leukocyte Biology has significantly increased to 4.962!!

We would like to thank all of the authors, editors, and staff for their support and contributions!

The largest trial now of mixing is out - and shows AZ and mrna produce great responses (better than two AZ) and even better T cell responses than two doses mrna.

I think based on this we need to stop offering astra Zeneca as second dose https://t.co/pQ4kV7tJ9D

Moreover, here is an amino acid sequence alignment of the encoded spike protein by both mRNA vaccines - the part that actually speaks to your immune system's memory creation. 100% identical. #Pfizer and #Moderna are #interchangeable. 💉=💉 #GetVaccinated @DFisman @ScienceUpFirst
