“All children or adults with measles should receive two doses of vitamin A supplements, given 24 hours apart…It can help prevent eye damage and blindness. Vitamin A supplements may also reduce the number of measles deaths.”
Why is this not being done? who.int/news-room/fact…
The CDC references vitamin.
So, hypothetically speaking, you think you may have contracted a case of the measles, what do you do? 🤔
Not medical advice; just a 🦊on the internet.

Step 1. Check symptoms. Fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes, tired. (Could be anything, right?)
Small, white spots may appear inside the mouth & throat 2 to 3 days after 1st symptoms. canada.ca/en/public-heal…

I've been pondering why so many who have been horribly infected by SARS-Cov-2 are going around maskless unfazed by the prospect of catching it again.
My theory: a deficit in working and episodic memory. So, I looked it up. 👇
“Memory scores for all COVID groups combined were significantly reduced compared to the non-COVID group in every age category 25 years and over...”
I didn't think I'd spend my Easter morning educating hospital personnel about #AirborneTransmission but that's what happened. Here's a summary of the crack-of-dawn 💩 show at a hospital.

Approached screener. I was told to put on sloppy mask. Said I will put over #n95. Not asked any screening Qs. Noticed her mask only covering mouth. I said, "Your mask has slipped down." She points to the plexiglass. I proceed to advise her that #COVIDisAirborne.

"Of the leadership candidates, member of Parliament Pierre Poilievre is particularly infuriating and reckless. He peddles an angry and appealing message: that Canadians are getting screwed, and he’s here to save them." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
He promises to “give you back control of your life.”
I want to know:
1.Whether I’m sick with a disabling, deadly virus (or contagious);
2.I can get timely effective treatment if sick;

As a parent and a citizen, I am very alarmed by what is happening in Ontario.
Our CMOH has sanctioned the re-opening of schools during a time when they are less safe than ever.
I thought the CMOH was there to protect us from harm, to operate within the highest integrity,
upholding the ethics of their profession at all times, irrespective of political opinion or persuasion.
I was naïve.

The Ontario govt has failed us. There are a few options to halt our mass infection by Omicron: 1) Local public health officers display some courage & order school closures 2) Fed govt enacts Emergencies Act or exerts considerably more pressure 3) Workers refuse unsafe work.
@Sflecce and Dr. Moore have not empowered us. They have gaslighted us.

This article, Written by Howard Levitt, the best known and most widely quoted authority on employment law in Canada, is a MUST READ. financialpost.com/fp-work/insure…
“Insurance companies look for any way they can to deny or cut short a claim: that is how they make money. In the case of COVID-related disability claims, insurers are frequently denying claims due to insufficient medical evidence, for example, the lack of a positive COVID-19 test

This post is for the millions of Ontarians who will contract Covid and be in need of financial & medical assistance.
To the #longcovid deniers, you’re simply wrong and you will be sorry. We have the receipts.
Some call this fear-mongering; I call it being realistic.
To those pragmatists out there, dismissing the need for accurate covid testing, you’re missing some vital information and giving bad advice.
I hope you’re wrong. I don’t think I am.
