@OlympusMedUS completely inexcusable to omit Dr. Garbens, the only female MD in the group. She deserves more than just being included as "part of the team"...... Do better

To date, 23.5-million Canadians (71%) aged ≥12 years have received 1 dose of a #COVID19 vaccine and 3-million (9%) are fully vaccinated.
Incredibly, we still don't have guidance for the fully vaccinated.
Us Canadians seem to be experiencing Fear of Normalization (FONO).

The 🦠 continues to evolve, gets more fit, but has yet to outsmart the vaccines that humans made to block it. If only more humans could outsmart the virus by getting vaccinated. And block its capacity to evolve further.
Decided you’re not getting the AstraZeneca vaccine because of clotting risk? Maybe this will help. Get vaccinated. ALL of the approved vaccines in Canada protect you, protect us as a society. I hope/pray vaccines are available to everyone soon - choose science, not myth.
As I went through the painful exercise today of cancelling elective surgery with @des_lam@janeharwood41 and the @MGHToronto surgery leadership team a few thoughts come to mind #COVID19:
@CanUrolAssoc A9 Depends on patient goals. If possibly a candidate for chemo or other treatment in the future, then renal preservation with decompression (NTs) If they are truly palliative then minimize interventions. Sometimes may need decompression if pain predominantly from hydro #CUAJC
Alright team, let's get to another pressing vaccine question a lot of you had asked recently: Can those who have gotten complete doses (2 shots) of #COVID19Vaccines transmit SARS-CoV-2 to others? Come with me on a lil mucosal immunology journey 1/x

Risk of anaphylaxis 0.00005% (and completely treatable)
My risk of death with covid-19 0.084% (based on Ontario data)
When my time comes I’ll roll up my sleeve. 1600x higher risk of death from natural covid-19 than anaphylaxis (treatable) to vaccine.
