2025 is the year of re-emerging pathogens it seems. TB is the perfect silent predator and once established, very difficult to treat. I just hope it is not MDR.

I think it's time to make this meme viral again! Repost it. Like it. Send it to your friends. Put it on other platforms - we need to get the word out to the kids that it's okay to get vaccinated even if their parents don't like it!

I had a few choice words to say about why #Canada has lost its #measles #eradication status. For those wondering, this is part of a fantastic report from CTV Edmonton - check out the whole story at: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

In recognition of the loss of #measles #elimination status in #Canada - may I ask those who believe in #vaccines and also choose to #GetVaccinated share their support and maybe this logo - and feel free to make it better as I admit it's rather clunky. #Vaccines4Life

Not AT ALL happy. It will take a year or so to notice the effects but I do feel for the healthcare professionals who are going to deal with yet another re-emergence. I warned about this over 10 years ago - people back then said it can't be that bad. Well...

Don't mind me. I'm just reading the @jama.com article showing no higher incidence of #autism due to #acetaminophen (erm #Tylenol) use during pregnancy. For those about to anti, it involves 2.48M people.
