I've been thinking a lot about the patients in my practice who still say no to the COVID vaccine

Most have difficult lives—newcomers, BIPOC, histories of homelessness, trauma, poverty
They (reasonably) mistrust gov't & are victims of misinformation

We should certainly not be taxing these individuals or denying them healthcare
That goes against the principle of healthcare based on need as @picardonhealth @globeandmail so eloquently puts

I understand why there is anger directed at those who have still chosen not to be vaccinated
I suggest turning that anger constructively towards regulating the amplification of misinformation by social media platforms
