We must rely on the rest of the world exclusively to do the research and create the vaccines. Sparse if any input from the US. What really stings is that a 10 000 person clinical trial for an oral COVID vaccine was going to start on Monday. There is never any positive news from this administration.

An acquaintance posted about ignoring the chaos around us—I can't believe people choose to look away. "All that is needed for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing." Get involved, speak out, and stand against rising fascism. #ActNow

"The task force report makes a number of recommendations, including barring healthy children and teens from getting COVID-19 shots and halting the use of COVID vaccines altogether without "full disclosure" of potential risks." Why do conservative gov consistently pull us backwards in public health?

"For those previously vaccinated, most are recommended to receive only one dose per year. However, some populations are recommended to also receive a second annual dose to mitigate the waning protection from COVID-19 vaccines." 🇨🇦 Since it wanes we all deserve additional protection.

Can Ontario buy Novavax? 🤔🤷 "Novavax's vaccine: the federal government did not buy any doses - the minimum order required was much higher than the Canadian uptake of the Novavax vaccine the previous year." Feds issue new COVID vaccine guidance, says provinces now responsible for buying them

"I’m wearing it for all the people who are masking because they are IC. I’m wearing it as a public figure, to give permission to everyone else who needs or wants to mask. I will go on masking, to tell them they are not alone. And to remind everyone else that this thing isn’t done with us yet."
