@Biff234523 I think itโs kind of like solving climate change.
A lot of people think it doesnโt exist.
Some do, but donโt know what to do about it because of the scale.
And others are heavily invested in dissuading any change away from the status quo.

Can anyone explain to me whatโs up with most people in the COVID conscious community not caring about the origins of the pandemic (which does involve a lab leak, we at least know that much) and holding those responsible accountable?
Is it some sort of cognitive dissonance (which, of course, CC folks are not immune to) where itโs too painful to imagine that a handful of real people, who continue to go free, are directly responsible for everything that weโve been dealing with for the past 6+ years and continue to deal with? So itโs just dismissed, and mostly just people who have โmoved onโ from the pandemic who are capable of caring?
That maybe seems most likely to me, but Iโm often left thoroughly confused, and I have no real idea. Whatever it is, itโs certainly annoying.

As a reminder for everyone, we do expect that Nuvaxovid will ultimately be widely available in Canada again, in many more locations than just BC. Itโs still important to make public health officials aware of demand, because according to @SanofiCanada, โProvincial and territorial availability will be confirmed pending ongoing discussions and provincial assessments.โ
@stillcovidingca has a tool here that folks can use to send a message to their health ministers: stillcoviding.ca/en/take-actionโฆ

๐ข๐๐จ๐ฆBig update on Novavax / Nuvaxovid availability for Canada! Today, @SanofiCanada has announced, via @CNWNews, that they have completed the acquisition of Nuvaxovid market authorization from @Novavax and that Nuvaxovid will be available to Canadians in the fall. โข Nuvaxovid will be made available in Canada by Sanofi for the fall 2026-2027 season โข Provincial and territorial availability will be confirmed pending ongoing discussions and provincial assessments "With the launch of Nuvaxovid, a non-mRNA protein-based COVID-19 vaccine, Sanofi is now able to offer Canadians greater choice when it comes to COVID-19 protection. The availability of Nuvaxovid means that every Canadian will have the opportunity to access their personal COVID-19 vaccine choice. Canadians have clearly expressed a need for a non-mRNA option when it comes to COVID-19 protection. With this transfer, Sanofi can now respond to that need." - Delphine Lansac, General Manager, Canada, Vaccines at Sanofi.

@JM_Whiteside @cfax1070 Please stop ignoring COVID in the workplace.
The damage goes beyond the acute phase and mitigations like ventilation, air filtration, masking, and sick out policies should be in place for every worker.
Preventable illness should not be a part of the job.
