I cried leaving work this morning, the condition we left the ICU was terrifying. But NO, I couldn't stay to help. I have to be back tonight, and once again under staffed and stretched too thin. Mental health days? Don't get those. Because they cost YOUR life. #ABNurses #CovidAB

For anyone racing out to book appts with their doctor to get a vaccine exemption, let me warn you now: Our regulatory college notified us today that there are virtually no medical reasons for a medical exemption. The answer is 99% likely to be no. #GetVaccinated #COVID19AB

An Alberta doctor told me there is no medical need for me to be vaccinated as a COVID-recovered person. I’m not an anti-vaxxer. Does anyone else who has immunity from prior COVID infection feel unseen? I have questions. Join the conversation on Facebook. bit.ly/3tNLTBv

paulbrandt As an Alberta doc, I have had multiple pts get infected more than once (w/ illness, & swabbed +, even one that swabbed negative between infections). Yes, infection typically offers imperfect immunity. Vaccines improve that immunity. Nothing is perfect. Every measure helps

paulbrandt I opened for you and patricia conroy several years ago. I’ll never forget that summer and that experience. Your reputation amongst the #CCMA and your fans has always been second to none. Please don’t tarnish your good name now. Get educated and get the shot. ✌🏼 #ABCOVID #AbLeg

98% of Portugal's eligible population is vaccinated. And they have almost 0 daily deaths. Remarkable.

BREAKING: FDA advisers voted 17-0 (1 abstain) in favor of authorization of the Pfizer #covid19 #vaccine for 5 to 11 year olds. This is absolutely the right decision. Many parents will be relieved have a vaccine to protect their children and allow a return to pre-pandemic lives.

OVER 126,000 active cases of #COVID19AB... that's what Courtney Theriault calculates based on Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health saying during delta we only caught 1 in 6 tests with PCR (and it's expected we are catching even less with omicron). Asked minister Jason Copping why no new restrictions?

Yesterday in Saskatoon, to build cross-cultural bridges and for One Love, it was my pure honour to dance Punjabi Bhangra with Buffalo Boy productions, a First Nations dance group representing many Tribal Nations of North America. Donald G Speidel - YouTube: youtu.be/PEYNTvN_Q8w

Here's a 1-minute video showing--in the words of visualization hero Edward Tufte--the "compared to what" factor for today's amazing NASA Webb Telescope image. Thanks to the AAS WorldWide Telescope for making this possible, and A David Weigel. I only wish NASA and President Donald J. Trump had shown the image this way!

University of Calgary economist Blake Shaffer 📊🇨🇦🇺🇦 and his colleagues wrote a detailed paper last year showing conclusively that it was “economic withholding” — not carbon taxes, gas prices or coal phaseouts — that was the real cause of skyrocketing power prices. sites.ualberta.ca/~econwps/2023/…

Such composure from HRH. By comparison, I bawled my eyes out when I revealed my cancer diagnosis. Please be kind & respectful to the Wales’. Unless you’ve heard those words “you have cancer”, you can’t fully understand what they’re going through. I send HRH my support. #HRHcancer

This woman has an elite level understanding of male psychology. I was today years old when I realized that what she says is true. Men love quests.

So true!
