The "data" being cited by @ONgov that supports 12 wk dosing intervals for AZ is not valid in the context of a new Delta variant that hits susceptible targets who are incompletely protected. Knock it down to 8. Now. #Standing8Count

I admitted a dozen COVID patients to the ICU last week that were eligible for the AstraZeneca vaccine. Didn’t get it because of (exaggerated) concerns with that vaccine, or issues with booking a vaccine. Now fighting for their lives. People: get any vaccine you can, ASAP

This week my bill for 10 paid sick days will be debated in the Ontario Legislature.
Retweet if you support 10 paid sick days and send @fordnation a strong message.

The past few days have been hard for the pregnant community. It’s important to be mindful of our mental health right now.

@Jules_M88 @SinaiHealth Great, long-standing collaboration between L&D and the ICU!
Particularly important now that half of the patients in our main ICU (excluding our new surge spaces) are obstetric with COVID!

I join my fellow health workers to call for the following: (1) paid sick leave (2) doubling down on vaccinations in hot spots (3) expanding access to #AstraZeneca for all ages (4) transparently sharing the formula for how a hot spot is designated. 3/4
