Hi Mina, the answer is straightforward. Your statement that "the vaccinated are still just as likely to infect others" is scientifically wrong. Vaccinated persons infect others less (<) than unvaccinated persons. 1/5

Opening #schools tomorrow is a MEGA mistake. On top of all the reasons we have discussed -- flu is coming. If #school opens #Hospitals and #ICU will be overflowing till end of February and there is NO way we can cope with it. Think again @celliottability

Even if Omicron is less virulent than Delta, the massive number of new cases still results in hospitalization & puts pressure on a healthcare system that was stretched prior to this wave. Covid-related personnel absences (via infection & exposure) further exacerbate the problem.

In short, vaccination reduces transmission although it doesn't bring it down to zero. The Delta variant has reduced the benefit of vaccine (lowering transmission), but has not eliminated it. The cited NYT and CDC sources confirm this, even with the Delta variant. 3/5

Never have been more disappointed with a party than today @CPC_HQ leader @CandiceBergenMP Do you have ANYTHING to offer in the way of solutions? YOU have fueled this illegal #OccupationOttawa all along. YOU have radicalized the conservative party of 🇨🇦 beyond recognition. WHY?

➡️ Want to understand how did we come to have occupations -- including ARMS, SWASTIKAS, CONFEDERATE FLAGS in #Canada and in particular #OttawaOccupation listen to @Lianne_Rood ➡️ Ask the people of #Ottawa if to them it looked like "Canada Day 1000 times" A disgrace. Mockery.

Time to connect the dots: Far right extremism in Canada is real. It is NOT democracy. It's hate and it's a HEALTH threat. We must recognize & reject. Time to connect the dots ⤵️ Read, reflect and reject it. Hate has NO place in Canada #cdnpoli #onpoli

@michaelcoren The #antivaxxer movement is NOT about #Vaccines and it is NOT about #COVID19 . It is -- as a movement -- one of extreme right wing ideology that fit the PPC of Maxime Bernier, and some of Mr @erinotoole right factions of his party. #Canada be aware the worst of #Trumpism here!

Oh, Dr @DFisman we understood fully back then and do now. Some of us begged our Premier @fordnation Min @celliottability and Ontario's CMOH @MOHKFLA to meet with YOU, and I mean YOU! Instead, egos and politics got on the way of upholding expertise on #COVID19 management. #Oct 🔥

However, given there has been no movement by gov and how much is still at stake for the public, the time has come to go public. Ontario needs a new CMOH & we need the change now @fordnation
