I don’t know what to say anymore. As doctors, we can’t stop a genocide and we can’t end a famine. We provided a diagnosis - genocide. We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israel’s crimes now.

When someone says to me they don’t know anyone with long covid, what I hear is “I ditched the people I knew with long covid”

I'm sorry but if by 2025, you don't know anyone with Long COVID, perhaps a) you need more friends or b) you may not be a safe person to disclose things to?

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

It’s never too late to start masking again. It’s never too late to clean and ventilate the air. It’s never too late to push for paid time off, free testing & masks in healthcare. It’s never too late to say that no one is expendable. Everyone deserves protection & we can beat Covid together

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles” “Only the vulnerable need to worry” “Just stay home” “Your health is not my responsibility” “How many comorbids did they have?” These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics. Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

This is accurate. COVID-19 also predisposes to blood clots even in mild cases and pregnancy itself has a heightened risk of blood clots because of the massive estrogen levels involved. These risks are drastically reduced with vaccination. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I’m so vocal about Covid because I’ve watched people I love, suffer with, and die from unavoidable illnesses, and it angers me to see so many people suffer with, and die from something that is avoidable like Covid19. #GetLoud #Covid19 #BringBackMasks #LongCovid #teacher #LongCovidKids

For the record, we have not paid anyone to talk about the skybox scandal/corrupt care scandal. (That’s just silly) If this is real, it’s probably borderline defamation (ironically). Bullies try to make people afraid. Now is the time for bravery. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

A woman was sexually assaulted inside a public restroom in a Vancouver, BC park. You might want to sit down for this: the perpetrator was not a trans woman, but a cisgender man. Men have never, ever needed to dress as women to enter a women's restroom to assault women.

“Since the Covid-19 pandemic was declared, the world recorded 7.1 million deaths linked to it. During that same period, sepsis caused 11 million deaths” I wish this article mentioned Covid can cause sepsis The reduction in hospital infection control since mask mandates likely isn’t helping either

The extent of the UCP #CorruptCare scandal allegations never ceases to amaze me. This latest revelation shows that the scandal goes far beyond what AHS officials knew, what bloated contracts this government negotiated, and what bad deals they signed. Premier, call a public inquiry. Immediately.

If you engaged in COVID denialism the last few years by pretending the pandemic’s over, it’s still 2019, & you don’t have to mask, even on planes—then you bear some responsibility for having dangerous anti-vax people like RFK Jr. in charge of our health agencies. #HardTruths

People say they're "horrified" by the "antisemitic" shooting of two Israeli Embassy employees in DC (suspect said "I did it for Gaza!") but when you check these people's timelines they don't seem to be that horrified by the 2-year Genocide being done to the people of Gaza... Weird, innit?

We tried to warn everyone that every Covid infection ages you, and we tried to warn them it would take a few years for the impact to manifest. On cue, everyone's talking about Gen Z's "accelerated aging," and they still refuse to acknowledge one major source of the problem.
