Very concerning findings that #H5N1 from an infected human shows adaptation to mamalian spread, airborne spread in ferrets, and lethal to mice and ferrets. Highest virus replication in the lung. nature.com/articles/s4158…

If I’m wrong and Covid turns out to be “no biggie”…the worst that’s happened is I’ve had cleaner air & worn a mask in public. Absolutely no harm has been done to me. If YOU are wrong - you’ve potentially damaged every system in your body because you didn’t “feel” like masking

Depriving immunocompromised ppl of their only or preferred option is the opposite of "Equity & Inclusion"

"The federal government's decision to not provide Novavax's COVID-19 vaccine this respiratory virus season raises health equity concerns, experts and advocates say, as some Canadians look to the U.S. to get the shot." ctvnews.ca/health/for-can…

Since the federal govt no longer provides rapid tests, @fordnation must step up and #FreeTheRATs. We have to face reality- covid is not over. Wishful thinking won't stop the spread. Rapid tests can help keep Ontarians safe this respiratory illness season. cbc.ca/news/health/ra…

🇨🇦 Novavax Availability Update 📢 York Region Public Health Unit says that they are "currently exploring" procurement of the Novavax vaccine with the Ontario Ministry of health. Should the province arrive at an agreement with Novavax, systems are in place to order it.

The Federal Govt ordered mRNA vaccines but refuses to order @Novavax for many Canadians, including immunocompromised, who require a non-mRNA vaccine? So how does that fit the Govt's commitment to Equity & Inclusion? Or the mandate of the Canada Health act? 🇨🇦

@ccleighton @GovCanHealth @markhollandlib It's not too late for them to renegotiate and get novavax for Canadians. It's the only covid vaccine many can take and the preferred choice for many more. We've written them thousands of letters, hard to understand why they're so unresponsive and derelict in their duty.

Another reason @GovCanHealth dropped the ball in not procuring Novavax vaccine. Most effective at reducing viral transmission (viral load). Less side effects than mRNA vaccines and comparable efficacy. @markhollandlib should explain this to Canadians.

Thx, @CBCNews! Lack of pub edu on vaccines/vacc’n is one reason why #Novavax has had such little uptake to date. But for those of us who know about it, need it, or simply prefer it (sometimes it’s the only one vax skeptics will consider), it’s worthy of (fully) trying again.

"Despite stating that Ontario was “working closely” with the federal government on the issue, negotiations between the Ministry of Health and the federal government about transfer of the program had not even begun when the province moved to shut it down, according to documents."

This is a damning report. The Ford government cut wastewater testing early citing that the federal government would take over, which was never true. @fordnation's government knew, from an internal memo, that wastewater surveillance would, "test the whole population to identify…
