  • Many people, especially women, are accused of over "overreacting" when they ask people to wear masks & take rapid tests when sick. Reminder that preventing a virus that can cause long-term consequences is a normal reaction

  • 💯 In the current Ontario Measles outbreak, 58 people have contracted Measles after having 2 vaccine doses, including 2 pregnant women Bring back masks
    • This isn’t exactly correct. 2 MMR doses are 97% effective at preventing infection- enough to drive measles out of circulation if enough ppl are vaccinated due to HERD immunity. But if herd immunity is broken, you still have a small chance of becoming infected if it’s circulating widely. So mask up

  • There's studies showing a small waning of the vaccines over time, which might explain the higher %s of vaccinated cases in adults. But Dr. Henry would probably say waning is a myth that doesn't happen in magical Canada 🦄
