“Ornge is now looking to increase flight certificates to be able to fly into the United States, if required, as the province potentially leans on existing relationships with hospitals in border states to help manage the load.”
“ “Hospitals that are on our borders, such as in the upper state of New York as well as in eastern Michigan, would be the natural sort of fit,” Dr. Lewell said, while cautioning that the province has yet to enter into any formal agreement for any transfers into the U.S.“
“Many of these children unfortunately have had COVID infections over the past number of months, and there is increasing evidence that COVID has caused a dysregulation of our immune systems making us even more susceptible to these other viruses…
…I think it’s very important to get 💉… but also it’s very important to keep these kids protected with other measures like masking… I think we have to use all of the layers of protection that we have to help our children during this very difficult time.”
“Unfortunately, as great as the flu shot is and everybody should get it, the efficacy of the flu shot is still only 60 or 70%, so I think it’s still very important for those other measures to be utilized to help these kids”
“It was secondary bacterial pneumonia—not the influenza virus by itself—that killed most of the millions who perished in the 1918 flu pandemic…
…which suggests that current pandemic preparations should include stockpiling of antibiotics & bacterial vaccines, influenza researchers reported this week.”
“There is one logical thing to point out here. A virus has 2 strategies, broadly speaking, in terms of being successful…
… & I think we can agree that #C19 is a pretty successful virus. It can mutate to change its appearance to avoid the immune system and we know that #C19 does that so does flu, every successful virus seems to be able to do that, or most…
… but it can also attack the immune system as another legitimate strategy, so to say that #C19 is not causing immune harm is to say that somehow it’s become this amazingly effective virus by only really using one of the two strategies available”
“There are those arguing that this spike is due to an “immunity deficit”–that children are getting sick now b/c they were deprived of infections during lockdowns & school closings…
…Let’s be clear: that theory is made-up nonsense, perpetuated by the same people who opposed #C19 mitigation measures…”
