If my pants and underwear (and many masks) can't prevent us from smelling farts, then how can they prevent transmission of disease? Short answer, fart molecules are way smaller than viruses and way WAY smaller than respiratory droplets.

Thanks @Matthew_Froese for an excellent visual of the much higher risks of COVID for those unvaccinated. For people skeptical about the vaccine, take a look at this to give you more info about how well it really works to protect Manitobans.

True: IUDs are great. Many more ppl should have one Also true: My 1st IUD was one of the most painful experiences of my life As a doc I have inserted many IUDs. It took me years to realize that not offering pain control was absurd, sexist & sometimes traumatizing. Story time ⬇️

There was a time when we thought it would be impossible to ban smoking in public places, especially restaurants and bars. But now it's hard to imagine that it could ever be allowed. What other "impossible" things can public health achieve? Sky's the limit for public health.
