If you know anyone involved with infection control at @uhn.ca, ask them why the policy isn't to use N95s. Do they understand how sketchy the claim is that medical masks are good enough? Is this all "just following orders"? Do they still believe they have nothing to learn from non-MDs?
Just...why?

Here goes UHN in Toronto (👉including the cancer hospital👈), repeating the same mistakes as always, because doing the right thing is less important for hospital admin than covering up having constantly done the wrong thing since COVID hit.
MEDICAL MASKS ARE NOT AEROSOL PPE, YOU NEED AN N95!

Influenza A looks particularly nasty based on data coming out of Japan.
Covid is still here and still disabling.
It’s never too late to start masking again.
A well fitted respirator can protect against all these viruses!
It’s community care

Republicans/Conservatives are now trying to change the definition of pedophilia to protect Donald Trump. Next they will attempt to change the laws lowering the age of consent or legalize sex with a minor after a certain age. Wait for it.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Discussing a Women in the World conference about women's negative experiences with male colleagues, here's Krauss telling Epstein there should be a retaliatory "Men Of the World" conference featuring Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Al Franken and Kevin Spacey. Weird!

"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

There were once dreams of eradicating measles - I remember discussion on it in my MSc epi class.
The loss of progress on measles is not only a health loss for kids (measles can be disabling & deadly), it’s also a massive economic loss.
We save billions/yr not having to vaccinate & treat smallpox.
