This is how you heal the world. “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.” -Romans 12:20

A Russian soldier surrendered. Ukrainians gave him tea, food, and let him call his mother on video. I want to cry from how much I love my country.

"We must call on you to act: No one should freeze to death in @cityoftoronto" @HPAP_Ontario has submitted a formal request to the Chief Coroner of #Ontario, Dr. Dirk Huyer, for an inquest into the circumstances leading to the recent cold weather deaths of three unhoused people.

Representation is critical! Thanks for sharing this (and for tagging me)

❗️🔥 Documentary Alert❗️ From @TeamBMWC a much-needed & incisive dissection of the severe under-representation of Black men in #medicine. Black men comprise only 2% of the MD workforce in 🇺🇸🚨🚨 Urgent action needed to close gap & save lives #EndRacism trailer.bmwcmovie.com/trailer1602557…

And here's the thing: All of THIS <waves hands around at the world> was 100% predictable. Better yet, IT WAS PREDICTED, by dozens of social scientists. What we're seeing is Human Behavior 101 in sociology. Ask literally *any* sociologist.

It took us a few shots to get something nice! 😂 We did get our tree up finally though! It’s getting to be the season! #growinghopefarm #christmastreedecorating

The difference between communication of information about #diabetes and #obesity is that Most people KNOW they are NOT diabetes experts but Most people BELIEVE they are #Weight (#weightloss obesity) experts

Perhaps the Canadian government should protect children from predatory marketing that is directed toward selling them junk food.

We on the CDC ACIP just voted 14 to 0 in favor of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination for children aged 5 to 11. This helps explain why -

Obesity wasn't such a problem 100 years ago. Human nature hasn't changed - the environment has. Healthy public policy has never been more needed! @DiabetesCanada

It is convenient for a politician to falsely focus on individual responsibility for reducing obesity rates. The largest impact on population obesity requires political will and policy changes.

Great to see Ontario data on the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines from @DrJeffKwong and colleagues @ICESOntario, just out in BMJ Take a look at the huge reductions in the risks of hospital admission or death bmj.com/content/374/bm…

Glad to see Ontario reporting cases, hospitalizations and ICU admissions by vaxxed/unvaxxed. But, as more people get vaxxed, eventually most cases will occur in vaxxed group. So, it's essential that we include denominators, to accurately convey the message that vaccines work.
