Happy Birthday Big O! Tell then you need a lollipop after the vaccine to activate the antibodies
Today is my son’s birthday. Best gift? Invitation for his 2nd dose of Covid19 vaccine!! Thanks @VanIslandHealth for being on time (8w tomorrow). Ok, my son might argue that the @LEGO_Group & @LEGOIdeas were the best gifts! #VaccinesSaveLives

My daughter has “at least 4 comorbidities.” Does she look unwell to you?
Stop the eugenics.
Her life is beautiful, and she deserves to live it.

Efficacy and safety of pharmacological, physical, and... : PAIN Really important sys review / meta-analysis on Tx chronic pain in children. Found NO studies on children with cancer or intellectual disability. Huge problem journals.lww.com/pain/Abstra…
Even within the 122 studies the results were disappointing. Little evidence for pharm or physio, a bit for psych as being effective. Nevertheless, these are still the base of recommendations. Good work by @emmafisher1, @Chris_Eccleston and colleagues
Canuck Place has gift for families: time. Whether it is too short, or never long enough, we try to make each moment count. We also have a gift for donors: you can know that you have direct impact on a child and family. Have a wonderful night tonight! #CanuckPlace #GOTGala

I am always amazed at how much faith people have that higher filtration of particles WILL reduce risk of infection.
Like …no one even questions that.
But there’s a LOT of data pre COVID where N95 masks weren’t clearly better. Why? “As used”…

in real life is not a lab particle study. Why…? could be fit, touching and adjusting bc uncomfortable, doffing…
So although intuitively attractive we can’t assume that “better” filtration translates directly to protection. We still do need good outcomes based studies.

All of these can be addressed with good research. 93% want to enroll patients in med-cann clinical trials. And good clinical research depends upon a standard, pharmaceutical grade product for testing.
@HealthCanada needs a separate medical cannabis stream for children, distinct from adult med-cann and recreational. Advocacy via @ChildHealthCan, @CanPaedSociety, and research @C4T_Canada

🚨Here's my new piece about our great challenge—control this pandemic while ALSO averting the next. For centuries, the US has been stuck in a Sisyphean cycle of panic & neglect. It can break that loop, but the window of opportunity is already closing. 1/
