    CMAJ is formally retracting the letter by Dr. Emil, which did not contain appropriate subject matter for publication by the CMAJ. Read the full statement from @KirstyPatrick, interim editor-in-chief, CMAJ: cmaj.ca/content/193/50…
    CMAJ editors will urgently review the journal's processes for considering, reviewing and publishing submitted letters; we will act to ensure proper rigour through a process that seeks to reduce bias, with necessary checks and balances.

    CMAJ is sorry for the harm caused by the publication yesterday of a letter, the headline of which suggested the hijab is an instrument of oppression of Muslim women. We are listening carefully to the critical feedback we’ve received.

    According to new research in CMAJ, unvaccinated people affect the safety of those who are vaccinated even when #COVID19 vaccination rates are high. Details: cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.… @DFisman @AshTuite #PublicHealth #CDNhealth
    In this visual abstract, the Cumulative Attack Rate for different levels of population-mixing is presented for both vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations. The authors conclude: The choices made by people who forgo vaccination contribute disproportionately to risk among those who do get vaccinated.

    CMAJ stands in solidarity with people of colour – with health workers who face racism in training and on the job and with patients who suffer worse outcomes because of biases in society and care. We in health care and academia must examine ourselves and stop racism in our ranks.
