📍NEW—We now know why US cannot share its #COVID19 vaccines with the world—Trump WH had forced legal contracts that blocks US doses by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, J&J from being donated. Hence 🇨🇦&🇲🇽 only got “loans”, despite >45 mil dose US surplus. 🧵https://t.co/FN6yPohoy4 pic.twitter.com/WWUwj9xwq3

Forget the US vaccinating 3 million in a day -- Brazil once did almost 18 million in a day (polio).

Brazil needs to be compared to its former self, not to other countries in 2021.
As a beacon of public health innovation and coverage, Brazil should have shined through this.
Outbreak at Quebec gym now up to 171 people (not all at gym I am guessing) per CBC News At Six last night.

So that plexiglas and 6 feet did ... as everyone who knows aerosols said.
Filter the air. Ventilate. 6 feet not magic.
2) US is indeed running into some vaccine hesitancy headwinds, not just in Republican men but many evangelicals. https://t.co/9nRxOLg8tb

Just about all doctors who are offered a Covid vaccine take it as soon as they can. Many people who are reluctant to get vaccinated elsewhere trust their doctor, which is why it's important to make vaccination widely available in doctors' offices.

Michigan is struggling.
We need to be surging tests, vaccines to the state. https://t.co/CPdfqFQSaQ
P1 is really dangerous.

Estimates of variants' R values in BC:
B117 Rt 1.6
P1 Rt 3.2 (Yes, 3.2 - that is close to what is believed to be R0, R without restrictions, of wild type Sars-CoV-2)
Ignoring P1 is extremely irresponsible. https://t.co/bkODrjAy3E
Today, I received my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake in the lap of pure nature to dance Punjabi Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm dispatching to Canada and beyond for everyone's good health.
