    Palestine is holding a mirror to all our institutions. This letter articulates just how terribly we have failed.

    Daniel, pls feel free to use/share/ modify my infographic. I made this early last year when the concept of mRNA vaccines was fresh & hesitancy high. Sad to see that it’s still an issue & there’s a dearth of good scientifically sound & accessible comms

    How can we trust mRNA vaccines that were made so quickly? It’s a 100% valid question & one that I get asked so frequently. Here’s my longish answer condensed in the form of an infographic. Feel free to share/ re-use

    I repeat, we cannot do decolonization work, in truth to ourselves, on Turtle Island & beyond, without also speaking up for Palestine. Here’s your chance to not be performative, to build trust as people, as researchers, as organizations-Speak up. Your liberation is tied to this.

    Many Indigenous people here are feeling triggered by what Israel is doing across the sea. We connect to the lands, the lands connect to other Indigenous nations. Their pain is our own. Their struggle is reflected in us. Their future is our today. We cannot see colonialism any

    For so many people the COVID-19 vaccine didn’t come soon enough💔. For so many people vaccines will be available but hesitancy will get in the way. I’m hoping these photos of mom & dad getting the #AstraZeneca shot today empower you to make the choice to get vaccinated.

    I did not hesitate to get vaccinated. It happened because of these privileges: - decades studying science - knowing the health care system - understanding clinical trials - unlimited access to reading materials in a language of my choice - a valid visa - flexible work hours

    With ICUs facing immense pressures, #COVID19 vaccination lacking at a population level & dangerous variants in our communities...Who else thinks Ontario is reopening too early? 🤔

    I wish this was the headline every media outlet used- “vaccine interferes with the HIV diagnostic test”. That’s it. That’s the headline.

    I do not know how to show up with integrity on Turtle Island, honour the stories of residential school survivors & work towards undoing harms that these systems continue to do to Indigenous Peoples without also speaking up for Palestine.

    As a Canadian living in Australia, I am heartbroken thinking about how different it could have been. How different it should have been. 28,871 total *CASES* in Australia 🇦🇺 until now 21,004 total *DEATHS* in Canada 🇨🇦 until now

    Dear #Canadian front line workers, I’m sorry you’re witnessing protests outside your workplace during what has been the most emotionally, mentally, & physically challenging period of your professional life. Hoping this story from an ex-antivaxxer in my DMs cheers you up
