Novavax Covid vaccine is coming to BC 🇨🇦

👏👏👏

This is the best news I've heard all day!

[Me In YYJ 🌻 @MeInYYJ]

Novavax will be available in BC for the fall!!!

My MLA’s constituency office sent me an email today confirming that it should be “available province-wide in select pharmacies.”

Advocacy works!

Thanks @Biff234523 @DoNoHarmBC @Friesein and all those who have raised your voice.

There is a breach of confidentiality and regulatory authorities, the press and government goes nuts and yet every day, in every Canadian ER hallway, privacy and confidentiality are, out of necessity, forgotten.

If Moderna can be manufactured in Canada, so can Novavax.

@thewalrus @CaulfieldTim What happens when the lies are being spread by public health leaders? We have seen this repeatedly in BC, Canada.

RT @BenjiNaesen: “They never once checked me for concussion.”

This is not just the responsibility of the race, also of the team.

Welcome…

Not really a mystery if you remember what we all just went through...

[Dr. Victor Leung, MD @VicLeungIDdoc]

The utility of PAFs for reducing airborne infectious diseases is not an open question. Public health advisors and organizations who imply otherwise are sharing misinformation.

[Dr. Lyne Filiatrault @DrFiliatrault]

Thank you @TheRecord for helping us spread the word on "immunity theft".
With some political will, infections could be prevented.

I’m an epidemiologist and a parent. I’m very concerned about C19 in children, because there’s evidence of cognitive damage with each infection, developmental disorders from prenatal infection, and long term cardiovascular risk.

Leaving aside the 10-20% risk of immediate sequelae

So the WHO is saying COVID isn't over, public health orgs are telling you to mask up. What more do you need to take this seriously again? The people you are trying to fit in with when you don't mask are the people who will abandon you when you become chronically ill.

[AJ Leonardi, MBBS, MPH, PhD @fitterhappierAJ]

Looks like Yale school of public health has finally started to say what I have been repeatedly saying since 2020

1) covid creates longlasting autoimmunity by harming t regs
2) harms adaptive immunity
3) causes immune dysregulation
4) persists
etc

WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK?

The Forecast score for Canada is increasing 2%/week (-5% to +8%/week for all regions).

About 1 in 43 people are currently infected (~175,000 infections/day).

A new surge/wave has started, later than usual for this time of year in many provinces.

[Malgorzata (Gosia) Gasperowicz @GosiaGasperoPhD]

Respectfully, PH from VCH doesn’t seem to learn.

“Point of care assessment”? 🙄
“AGMPs”? 🙄

If ppl from *outside* of biomed fields but who pay attention to science of pathogens’ transmission since 2020 know that those 2 takes are outdated and 🙄🙄🙄, PH should know that too.

[Inspired Aquariums @InspiredAquaCA]

🚨 New VCH H5N1 Memo

Calls for patients:
- with Influenza-like illness to be placed in Droplet and Contact isolation.
- Confirmed AI to be placed in Airborne (where available) and Droplet and Contact isolation.

PPE: point of care risk assessment
"e.g. N95 respirators for AGMPs"

[Protect Our Province BC @Protect_BC]

We urge @GovCanHealth to reconsider and order Novavax for Canadians.
It makes no sense to build a Novavax production site in Canada and not use it.

[Protect Our Province BC @Protect_BC]

People of BC want to know if the health authority is using airborne precautions to avoid spillover into the community? @PennyDaflos @moirawyton @Michelle_Gamage @picardonhealth
