The science influencer data say that people are more easily convinced to get vaccinated if you show them how much it benefits others.
Those data were from a time when people were more rational and less insane.
Hear, hear! So important...👇

Canada, abortion rights are under attack. The forced birthers are using the same strategies that worked in the U.S. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

I do not remember seeing these or noticing them - very cool!
I can't tell you how thrilled I was seeing Dolly (science kid/adult)!
One of my favourite museums. So much Canadian Indigenous artifacts on the second floor (third? it's been a while).
Oooh the second one please. Unless there's something new and exciting with MMR.
Wow, lots of hate in the comments from the left. Perhaps some introspection (and a wee bit of compassion) is in order. I’ll be limiting comments. In the meantime I’m sharing this excellent Maclean’s piece on the subject: macleans.ca/longforms/co...

Holy shit!
Not one f**king word of this tweet by Poilievre is true.
Not one.

"Anyone should be able to get that vaccine".
And a free supply of #N95 masks, & breathe well ventilated/filtrated shared air in all public spaces.
Because although #COVID is here to stay, it's not like flu: Flu is bad, & COVID is much, much worse.
And there's still no cure for #LongCOVID -
