1/ One reason many of us advocate for #masks #vaccines is because#COVID patients are filling up hospitals/clinics and patients need other healthcare too.

Never thought this would impact me.

But here I am @OttawaHeartInstitute Image
2/ My husband - who has run 7-10k a few times a week his whole adult life - needed to be here today.

Sending my best to our #familydoctor #cardiologist #cardiacsurgeon #nurses

Sending my absolute worst to those who carelessly spread covid.

#WearYourDangMask
3/ No one is immune from the consequences of #antimaskers #antivaxxers

Will he get covid in hospital?
Will he get covid in rehab or in hospital if he has complications post-surgery?

Wear your f**king mask.

Let me reiterate for those in the back:

Wear your Fucking Mask.

1/ This article by @_neginnia is dangerous if it prevents people from protecting their eyes.

I spoke with @_neginnia about my @MedicalPost article on face shields vs goggles:

PDF: static1.squarespace.com/static/5f78940…

This is her article: theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…
2/ After citing 2 Lancet studies showing ocular #COVID19 transmission, there's opining: “The risk of someone getting that close that they’re going to cough and have high concentrations of it near your eyeball is really low,”
Spitting in your eye?
#COVIDisAirborne
Or this gem:
3/ My article explained that face-shields aren't as protective as goggles #COVIDisAirborne

I tweeted it to protect people because #omicron infections occur even with #N95 and eyes might be the route.

The popularity of my tweet resulted in this article that puts them at risk

I wrote about the need for 3rd doses from Sept when other countries were giving them. Many experts argued with me. Many went on TV and explained they weren’t needed. These are the results of months of PR by them. Time to say they were wrong publicly and help save lives. #cndpoli
Many are still on tv and do support 3rd doses, however they need to backtrack on their incorrect advice. Because it’s a creating a problem and filling up our hospitals and morgues. Many get their info from TV/articles. Be humble. Say you were wrong and it puts people at risk. 👇🏽
And this is why you need to go back on TV and write articles and say you were wrong and correct your #misinformation. Two doses don’t protect people because of waning and immune escape of #Omicron

1/There are so many #COVID19 infections in people who are being careful.

#Omicron is so highly infectious.

I wrote this earlier but it is even more crucial now: wear eye protection in indoor settings like grocery stores.

Bare eyes can get infected.

2/ If you're hesitant about wearing goggles, find one that you're comfortable with - don't leave you're eyes bare #COVIDisAirborne

My children wear these ones - they call them 'hipster goggles'

#COVIDisAirborne infecting mucosal surfaces like the eye's conjunctiva

As Dr. Sherif El-Defrawy, one of our top ophthalmologists explained: “If COVID-19 infects the conjunctiva of the eye, it could travel to the nose via the nasolacrimal duct and colonize the nose or throat,”

🧵Canada's rollout of #COVID19Vaccine

Partial truths (aka half lies):

Fallacy: Ignoring vaccine safety protocols by waiting 4 months is ‘covering everyone with one shot'

Fact: You could end up in the ICU

Plan: @drmwarner - we need to communicate that to keep people safe
2/ Fallacy: Canada is waiting 4 months because of supply issues.

Fact: Canada has given the same # as many countries and has CHOSEN to delay shots longer than any other country in the world. This is a choice. Period.

Plan: if too many get sick, we need to change
3/ Fallacy: Delaying doses is safe

Fact: We aren’t even collecting patient data.

Plan: People half vaccinated should be identified in testing, hospital and ICU - and data must be collected. Tagging our data powerhouses.

If this is dangerous - change. Or just change now

🧵Why the 4 month delay for our 2nd #CovidVaccine🇨🇦?

The NACI document that this is all based on: "studies have not yet collected four months of data on vaccine effectiveness after the first dose" canada.ca/en/public-heal…

Translation: It's an experiment.
nytimes.com/2021/04/09/hea…
2/ So this delay in doses - let me list the ways this can bite us:

While rushing to cover as many people as we can with 1 dose, will we leave many partially immunized and just get more ICU admissions?

Yes, because THAT we have data for: bbc.com/future/article…

And then...
3/ Then 👇🏽
"it will leave the country vulnerable to variants — those already circulating, as well as new ones that could evolve inside the bodies of partially vaccinated people who are not able to swiftly fight off an infection."
