Interventions that ignores human nature are doomed to fail. A ban on outdoor activities for #COVID19Ontario feels as tone deaf as abstinence for HIV was back in day.

Fixed his bio for those who don’t know: Ontarian, MD, Rhodes Scholar, Dean UofT Med, president UofT, founding CEO of ICES, winner or awards, medical hall of fame, order of Canada, and much more than 240 characters can hold. Listen up Doug Ford

Let’s ignore the 90% efficacy for a second. COVID-19 in immunized kids looks a lot more manageable. Anosmia and dyspnea are no joke.

Hi Health Canada and PHAC - the thread I responded to yesterday has been deleted and while I’m happy that the word “months” is gone, we’d all be happier if you gave us a sense of when we might be able to vaccinate kids.

FDA: let’s live stream our discussion about #COVIDVaccineKids and be open about how and when we’re making this call. NACI: we like surprises.

Remember all those other viruses that weren’t #COVID19, but still sucked (kids off school, coughing all night, etc)? If we invest heavily in #ventilation and SARS2 vanishes the next day, we still get less of all that crap. Seems like a smart way to spend public money to me.

If you’re up early tomorrow and feel generally disappointed with our species, watch the #JWST launch. It’s the best thing humans have done. jwst.nasa.gov

Hey Peter Fragiskatos or anyone else who could help. We have a dialysis-dependent patient who’s being deported to a country where he can’t afford dialysis. This is a death sentence for a really nice guy. Any help is appreciated!
