I'm in meetings for most of the day & resurfaced to even more stupid decisions? #onpoli
What is this crap re: blaming people for complacency, hard hit communities for not knowing to book vaccine appts in this convoluted mess & MORE police presence? THIS AIN'T IT! #COVID19ON
We all feel the same. STUPID DECISION MAKING.
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. LIKE THE ONES THE EXPERTS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR EONS...YOU KNOW... LIKE #PaidSickDays and STOP FINGER POINTING FOR POOR #COVID19Vaccine logistics and GIVE essential workers Vaccines!
I'm understandably still receiving Qs from concerned & worried people about the clotting events observed in #AstraZeneca#CovidVaccine (& J&J recently in the US).
So here's a 🧵 of resources from some people I respect & trust to speak on the topic ⤵️ #COVIDー19#scicomm#science
.@MPaiMD & @SabiVM wrote a very well scientifically balanced piece covering the risks involved (very rare although serious) w/ the clotting events. Every single thing we do & every medicine/treatment we take involves risk. BUT context is impt. #scicomm thestar.com/amp/opinion/co…
👋🏽 this is a great time to re-introduce myself.
