This is what structural stigma looks like: Hard hit #Peelregion explicitly excluding physicians working in psychiatry/addictions from vaccination despite the fact that many work in high risk congregate community settings with vulnerable populations. #onpoli @ROPpublichealth 
There are many colleagues in #Peel who work in community settings like group homes, shelters, outreach, shared care, etc. Many who see complex and high risk patients in person. This kind of policy decision reflects biases baked into the system.
Provincial guidelines specify that ALL patient facing health workers should be prioritized. They also specify prioritizing non patient facing hospital workers. They don’t call for excluding all community docs working in addictions or psychiatry.
Two years ago today, a hit-and-run dump truck driver struck Clayton Barnard, dragging him 25m and killing him. Witness: "He...was gasping for help and air. I think he wanted to just have someone hold his hand…and he died shortly after.” #TODeadlyStreets #RoadViolence #WalkTO
Clayton was 36 with a loving family, wife, and bright future. He was going to apply his paralegal degree to help immigrants. He did not deserve to die like this. His family did not deserve to lose him in such a senseless, preventable way. #TODeadlyStreets
