Unvaccinated Ontarians are ending up in hospital with COVID-19 nearly 20 times as often as fully vaccinated individuals and in the last week have been about 70 times more likely to end up in intensive care, a Star analysis of provincial data has found. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/08…

I am very, very tired and I can't keep having this conversation so I'm just warning you now that once I post this thread I'm muting it because self-care. COVID in kids is a big deal and it is a serious public health problem.

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

I forgot to post this ages ago. My husband was a judge at the #FIRSTLEGOLeague earlier this month. He saw these on a bulletin board in the school where the event was being held... So inspiring! Woot! Go #PaperShelleyMoore! @kwiens62 @tweetsomemoore @BeBethanyBee
