Thank you Simon for writing this important article. Our political leaders must start taking COVID and Long COVID seriously!

When illness felled me and ended my medical career, when I moved to the "other end of the stethoscope" as they say, I realized so many things. The unimaginable value in knowing you've been heard, chief among them. I so wish I could practice again, knowing what I live every day. A Medical must-read⬇️

If this happened in a foreign country we’d call it a purge

This is what you get on Ontario's school buses in winter: CO2 is >5000 ppm. This is objectively disgusting. 15 mins after cracking a window, the CO2 was 4000 ppm — still awful. At these levels, approx 1 in 10 breaths is 100% air that has already been in someone's lungs.

Ontario, please get out and vote! “Electing the Ford government for another four years allows the province of Ontario’s education system to be stuck, or even worse, continue to simply erode right before our eyes.” pressprogress.ca/ford-governm...

Blame shifting 101: “Mike Holmes-endorsed reno company says it's closing down, blames CBC News investigation” Company does shoddy work, loses business when called out… blames the truth teller instead of their own shoddy work. 🙄 It’s giving “abuser” & “victim mentality”. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Influenza is sweeping across our province as well. Fatalities in children can occur. The vaccine is free and still available thru public health, the pharmacies and your pediatrician’s office. It’s not too late.

A virus does not differentiate between parents who are anti-vaxxers and parents who just didn't get around to it. Make an appointment, it's still flu season.

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

The road leading to fascism is lined with people who tell you to stop overreacting.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

Important thread that helps to explain the absolute devastation that will come from this massive reduction in NIH grant overhead. Many NIH grants go to institutions around the world; like other disastrous decisions that Trump has already made, this isn’t just a US problem.

My daughter and I spoke with @flannerydean.bsky.social about our concerns about poor air quality in schools and on school buses for her piece in @thenarwhal.ca. Such an excellent read for anyone interested in a deep dive! PS Hey @aranethome.bsky.social you're welcome for the free publicity 😉

"The Trump administration is “saying let them drink lead”, said Erik Olson, senior adviser to the NRDC Action Fund. “It’s a bad look to support lead poisoning children,” Olson added. “Not the best foot forward for the new Congress.”" Lead drops IQ significantly. This will damage kids for life.

Scary week for us but thankfully everything is going to be okay. Grateful to live in Canada - and NOT a US state - or we'd be likely tens of thousands of dollars in the hole with all the urgent & emergency care one of my family members has needed. Thx Tommy Douglas! Ontario, please #VoteFordOut!

Just watched his incredible documentary about this, Vigilantes Inc. Highly recommended viewing! Hope it makes #BrianKKKemp even more infamous; the man deserves to be locked up. He will be if there is any justice.... youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE?...

I strongly encourage my MD colleagues to attend. #MedEd #NeuroSky I've had spinal CSF leaks. It's actual hell. Too many leakers languish unnecessarily because of delays relating to MDs not correctly identifying & treating spontaneous CSF leaks. Please share! www.spinalcsfleakcanada.ca/program

Further, looking at N95 usage for pregnant people without talking about the hazards for which N95s would be used is disingenuous. The impacts of COVID-19 infection on pregnancy, neonatal, and early childhood development outcomes are established www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
