Disappointing news.

1. There is decent data to support #COVID19 vaccine boosters for select populations (e.g. immunocompromised) but it's a stretch to extend this to everyone.

2. Billions in low/middle income countries are waiting for 1st doses while getting throttled by Delta.

Unless you have a 70% chance of surviving your intubation/resuscitation and ICU care you will be allowed to die.
This is coming from Critical Care Services Ontario in the days ahead.
We've all been put on notice.

I don’t think people are quite getting how significantly the arrival of the P1 variant has changed the game in Brazil, signaling a much darker phase of the pandemic, and what this means for the world.

I saw a tweet about how there isn’t enough discussion of what experts got wrong on COVID, so here’s a thread of things I got wrong.

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

“Doctors and nurses are declining the vaccine” is exactly the message anti-vaxxers want you to hear.

Retweet if you’re a healthcare worker who’s already been vaccinated or is eagerly awaiting vaccination.

@theJagmeetSingh A disaster medicine expert has been wrongfully imprisoned since 2016 in Iran and their execution has been moved up to this week. We are working to put pressure on the Iranian government. Can I email you more information? This is gravely urgent #SaveAhmadreza

#SaveAhmad

The situation has worsened again. Ahmadreza Djalali is in danger, he is on death row again since yesterday. We must act now, we call for the halt of the imminent execution!

She didn’t fail 6 rounds of chemotherapy. Chemo failed her. She didn’t progress, the disease progressed. She never complained about side effects. She reported them. She didn't become palliative, she needed a new way of treating her whole being as she lived #caregiver #WordsMatter

I was taking care of a patient the other day who was very seriously injured. And I stepped out to talk to his family briefly and give them an update. For context, he was Black. I told them what was going on quickly and asked if they had any questions. And this is what they said.
