This is a severe indictment of public health in Canada. We have lost our status as a country that has eliminated measles. We held this status since 1998 & we allowed ourselves to fail.
This is huge reputational damage to Canada & has placed our children at risk from a serious viral infection.

Yet, in the face of a 6 year pandemic of an airborne virus that infected hundreds of millions of people & killed an estimated 25-35 million people, our governments failed to warn its citizens clearly & take decisive actions to prevent citizens from getting sick, injured or dying from COVID.

I find it quite ironic in a sad way that the US and Canadian governments will issue clear public safety alerts and require direct action to protect the citizens from potential injury (in this case recall) for a stationary bike seat post that can fail and a few people have been hurt. Good thing to do

This new generation Coronavirus vaccine uses multiple antigens of the virus that produce longer lasting and broader immune response.
Very promising!

“The observed protection induced by the combined vaccine was associated with the induction of both Spike-specific neutralizing antibodies and T cell antigen-specific lung-resident CD4 and CD8 TFH, TCYT, and TEFF cells, which persist for more than one year post-vaccination.

Hmmm…maybe that little virus called SARS-CoV-2 that is causing a PANDEMIC of COVID that is STILL on going? Just maybe that has something to do with this? Ya think?🤔 😖

Why might there be 800,000 more people out of work now than 2019 due to “health conditions”?

“There were 800,000 more people out of work now than in 2019 due to health conditions, costing employers £85bn a year, according to the review by former John Lewis boss Sir Charlie Mayfield.”

Viral infections are bad for you.
Get vaccinated.
Protect yourself from infection.
Wear an N95 respirator to prevent getting respiratory viral infections.
Clean the air we all breathe.
