Carole, perhaps you should learn what gasping syndrome is before frightening parents with it.
Gasping syndrome was associated with benzyl alcohol toxicity in premature infants receiving large cumulative doses of preservative-containing medications. It was not established as a consequence of routine newborn vitamin K injections.
The FDA recommends preservative-free formulations for newborns when available.
Meanwhile, a new JAMA study of 5.2 million infants found approximately 20 additional intracranial hemorrhages per 10,000 babies who didn't receive vitamin K.
You have a warning about a preservative. We have millions of babies providing evidence of the consequences of refusing vitamin K.
Try reading the medical literature beyond the warning labels.

Thank you MPP Tyler Watt. Thank you as a Registered Nurse and MPP for standing up for Ontario patients and Ontario hospitals. Ontario's underfunding of hospitals is sinister, it's failing the public and it's a threat to public health. @tylerwatt
I have never seen hospitals this bad. Hospitals are laying off nurses and health care workers while emergency rooms are overflowing and patients are stuck in hallways.
Make it make sense.
Doug Ford has purposefully underfunded our hospitals for years, and now patients and frontline workers are paying the price.
We need MORE nurses, not fewer. #onpoli

Trudeau was the PM of Canada, is dating Katy Perry, and is now working for Oxford.
Ryan Gerritsen is an anonymous shit poster that spams about Trudeau and "the convoy" for clicks and engagement.
Wonder who is winning this encounter?
Not parody.
This was Trudeau before he was PM. The two women journalists can barely hold it together listening to this.
Just think, Oxford University, recently made this actor a Distinguished Fellow and member of the World Leaders Circle at the Blavatnik School of Government. How can anyone take that institution seriously anymore?

First and foremost, none of this is within the Federal Government portfolio.
More importantly though, it's so fucking obvious that these guys don't know the fists thing about "the third world" if they think the Gardiner having cracking infrastructure is what makes living in one of the lost privileged places in the world "third world."
Canada is so far from "the third world" that its insulting to those that truly struggle around the world to suggest highway maintenance is relevant.
🚨🇨🇦 THIS IS NOT A THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY. THIS IS TORONTO, CANADA.
These are pictures of the Gardiner Expressway, right in the heart of Canada’s largest city.
Look at the concrete. The cracks. The deterioration. The patchwork.
Millions of Canadians travel on infrastructure like this every day.
We somehow find billions for international commitments, grand announcements, political pet projects and endless promises to build a better tomorrow.
But what about maintaining the country we already built?
Canada is a G7 nation. Toronto is its financial capital.
Yet ordinary Canadians are left looking at infrastructure that raises serious questions about maintenance and public priorities.
And the irony?
We pay income taxes. Property taxes. Sales taxes. Fuel taxes. And taxes on practically everything else.
HOW MUCH MORE MUST CANADIANS PAY BEFORE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE BECOMES A PRIORITY?
A country doesn’t become prosperous by announcing billion-dollar projects while neglecting what previous generations built.
You can’t build the future if you can’t maintain the present.
Welcome to Canada. Where the announcements are always brand new, but the concrete tells a different story. 🇨🇦

The Toronto area is currently averaging 2 people killed and 5 people seriously or critically injured *every week* by drivers in vehicles. There have been 0 gun related deaths in that time. Anyone *actually* concerned about safety in Toronto should be looking at road safety.

Singling out ER physicians who work harder than they should have to.
"Letters meant to educate"
Total bullshit.
For the record, I'm not one of those affected. One of my ER colleagues was.
She was and is intimidated.
She works in four ERs and usually on short notice to prevent them from unanticipated closures.
@Fordnation should be sending her a fruit basket - not trying to scare the shit out of her.

$618,000 of Ontario taxpayer money to change the name of the Science Centre public transit station in Toronto.
$618,000 that could be used for nurses, kids’ education, safer roads in the North.
Another example of the fiscal irresponsibility of this Ford PC government. It’s time for a provincial government that focuses on what matters to people.

Note to @MayorOliviaChow of Toronto this is a fantastic idea rather than raising every middle or working class property tax?

This is a scandal and more egg on the face of the Ontario Ford government. Shameful.

Ontario Greens just tabled legislation to put a moratorium on new AI data centres in Ontario.
These facilities drain our water, drive up fossil gas use and pollute our air. We can’t let tech billionaires come in and take over our communities. It’s time to take our power back.
Many thanks for advocating for us here in Ontario!
With MPPs today I stressed Ontario's worsening hallway and chair medicine is unacceptable, dangerous and affront to human dignity. I said ER wait times are worsening and punish those without options. That said, I think real change will be because the public, not doctors.
There's a new version of this post

I have the book launch for my 3rd murder mystery tonight & I’ve finally found a signing pen I like. In the past I’ve struggled because I prefer a flowing ink, but it takes time to dry. I chose the Sharpie gel as it is smooth but dries instantly. ✍️📚🇨🇦 #booktwt #fuckcancer #yyj

Science faces an existential threat from the Trump administration, which means that a lot of scientists are losing their jobs. Some of us have spoken up against that, at great personal & professional cost.
I am not sure how many of my colleagues truly recognize how much danger our fields are in, much less the broader community. Our health, our food, our economy, our security, our power, our liberty…they all depend on science.
Without it, we are poorer, sicker, weaker, less competitive, dumber, and unable to thrive. Attacking science is attacking society.
In her keynote speech at IDWeek, my friend & colleague @celinegounder honored those who have put their careers on the line as a service to science & to the world in front of thousands of infectious disease experts. She kindly included me in this extraordinary group. I am so grateful to Céline for everything that she has done & continues to do for science & public health. ❤️💪
And after the elections, I am going to have a lot more to say about my own story.
