Moderna vaccine is showing to be more protective against Delta than Pfizer or the others. We have that very effective vaccine, in part, due to the generosity and genuine kindness of @DollyParton

My longtime friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who’s been involved in research at Vanderbilt for many years, informed me that they were making some exciting advancements towards research of the coronavirus for a cure.

@MoriartyLab @Jdavis_Halton @MaryFernando_ @COVIDimmunityTF Let me add that I have personally been infected with Covid twice, with a 15 month interval between infections. The first infection occurred with my vaccination status "fully vaxed" by criteria at that time. Second infection was very mild, but I isolated to protect against spread.

@MoriartyLab @Jdavis_Halton @MaryFernando_ @COVIDimmunityTF This article suggests, if I'm reading it correctly, that the population with detectable antibodies will not have protection against benign, possibly annual, infections; but should expect to have robust protection against severe covid infections. Hosp utilization will show if true

@ABDanielleSmith Could you explain the part to me about how you HIRE doctors, specifically? Being a bit loose with the facts, eh?

@PracticalBedlam Where did the red go???

[Ralph Hawkins @hawkdawk]

@profamirattaran @CBCTheNational @CTVNews 100% agree.

@NightShiftMD We have IMGs sitting idle in small Canadian towns that cannot recruit or retain permanent MDs! Time to adjust the regulations.

@RachelNotley We can’t afford another four minutes of UCP chaos in our hospitals. There is no plan. @luanne_metz

@AnkrWhiplash Actually, she is on the record. “As for my own views, I can say the residential school system was clearly wrong. Children should never have been forcibly taken from their families.”

@ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley Ms Smith: My sister, a non-smoking nurse, died of a Stage 4 endometrial cancer in Alberta within the past year. This was neither predictable nor preventable. My other sis died of Stg 4 breast cancer. This was not preventable. My bro died of malignant melanoma.
Advice: Just quit.

@JillianLittle_ 100% yes

@danaparish Omicron is responsible. The testing method is extremely poor for that variant (<40% sens). Reminds me of the sensitivity of Bb two-tier testing. https://t.co/gste4WIdsz

@PracticalBedlam Red. Definitely red.
