The U.S. will rollout third booster shots for all Americans. But @BogochIsaac says Canada shouldn't rush to the same decision. "I think it's very fair to say that at some point in the future we might all need booster vaccines...but right now I just don't think that's the case."

If Omicron doesn’t teach us to vaccinate the world, I don’t know what will. (Recognizing that vaccination is necessary but not sufficient.)

We blame the captain when we find our modest paddle-steamer unable to weather a hurricane. But this UN agency's failings are by design.

This Sunday marks 2 years since I declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern over the spread of #COVID19 . At the time, there were fewer than 100 cases and no deaths reported outside China. On average last week, 100 cases were reported every 3 seconds. #EB150

If I deliver a bottle of milk to you every day, and then one day I deliver 100 bottles expiring at midnight, you would not be able to drink them.

To help prevent the next variant, vaccinate the world in 2022

When we end this pandemic is not a matter of chance, but of choice. Here are ways we can choose to do better this year.

Journalists:don’t do 👇.Who is the subject? “Poorer nations” aren’t “rejecting” @AP . Rich countries + pharma delivering nearly expired vaccines in low/mid inc countries b/c they’re only in queue for the left-overs. Bad global health, bad media frame.
