Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

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.

Here’s to hugging our loved ones so tight and never letting go. Together we can get through 2021, stronger, vaccinated, & even more grateful for our community and the little things that bring us joy 🤍 Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Toronto Paramedic Services Ornge City of Toronto 🇨🇦 #GetVaccinated #ByeBye2020

We keep hearing how our healthcare system is collapsing (which it is). But that does nothing to improve our understanding. Let’s use a hypothetical emergency department visit to highlight the disaster that is happening every day around the country. Here’s a thread 🧵:

I'm sad for the people of #ontario as they must get used to waiting >6-12hrs for emergency department visits for the foreseeable future. A friend visited a GTA hospital recently with chest pain....and left after 12hrs before seeing an MD. This is a problem.
