One of many anti vaccination requirement protests happening at hospitals across Canada now.
Meanwhile, doctors and nurses I have been speaking with are beyond stressed, burnt out, some in tears. But still showing up to treat the severely ill β predominantly the unvaccinated

When Saba Scott noticed a pop-up #COVID19 vaccine clinic happening near her building in #TaylorMassey, she told staff she'd like to be vaccinated but couldn't leave her children home alone.
So staff offered to give Saba her first dose in her living room: ow.ly/anKx50FOVAr

Many kind people have reached out to convey their concerns about today; asking how to help. If you're able to contribute anything to the #ldnont Muslim family for funeral & other costs - please donate here. Be kind to each other. Lift each other up.

An absolutely horrifying act driven by #Islamophobia. βThis is a terrorist attack on Canadian soil and should be treated as such.β
BREAKING: The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is beyond horrified and demands justice after the horrific hate-motivated car attack on a Muslim family in London, Ontario who were out for a walk on Sunday evening.
