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.

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”… 1/

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. 2/

🚨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/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
We’re Already Barreling Toward the Next Pandemic

We’re Already Barreling Toward the Next Pandemic

This one is far from over, but the window to prepare for future threats is closing fast.

.@uOttawa first @U15ca university in Canada to require proof of vaccination or strict testing across the board. Thank you, Ottawa, for showing leadership! Now that you have broken the ice, time for @mcgillu, @UofT @UBC @UAlberta to follow suit. uottawa.ca/coronavirus/en/ma…

Why enrol in a #PatientOrientedResearch study? “We feel like we’re part of something important, something optimistic,” writes Parent-Partner @Thomsod about why she and her son Nicholas participate in research studies: child-bright.ca/new-blog/202… #BrainAwarenessWeek

This study seeks to examine the impact that COVID-19 has had on pediatric palliative care. 60+% of respondents reported a sense of team "distance" due to physical location, frequency of meetings. 73% perceived unequal care quality with virtual care. #pedpc ow.ly/o1ri50DHh2S

It’s hard to think of another American who did more to challenge America to face her demons, to be her best self, and to respect the dignity in every living soul. John Lewis was a man of conscience, when the world was watching and when it wasn’t.

Pleased that Canada's genetic non-discrimination law was upheld by the courts. Important to protect people's rights to know their own genetic information without threat. cbc.ca/news/politics/stefano…
