Well argued article from Michelle Williams that the pandemic isn’t over yet. I like the “new chapter” metaphor. thehill.com/opinion/health…

Big picture: I think these studies suggest heterologous boosting, as from breakthrough or updated vaccine *is* helpful: affinity maturation towards Omicron & at least some elicitation of new B cells.

Seems to me boosting w updated strain is clearly preferable to not updating.

Who else needs a fall booster dose? Everyone five and older. If it’s been six months or longer since your last dose, a booster is important for prolonging your immune response as we head into respiratory illness season during the colder months.

These are smart people. We would be wise to take their advice.

Essential to set up these surveillance systems now and not to wait for the next crisis/pandemic

Irfan Dhalla Ont. Hospital Assoc. This document published in Dec 2019, just prior to the pandemic should be read by all who are concerned with ON health.

Do residents of ON know that ON hospitals were the most efficient in Canada and at the lowest cost?

All due to the integrity+dedication of HC professionals.

The health care system in Ontario has been under strain for a long time. I go back to this Ont. Hospital Assoc. report for data quite often. Looking at the data, I think it is evident that the healthcare system has been underfunded for many years. oha.com/Documents/Onta…

“The big unknown is what will happen this fall, and beyond.”

How do we prepare for the unknown, and not fall victim to our bias toward optimism?
