Another insightful piece from @kiffercard. We have vaccines in Canada, and we need to pay more attention to global vaccine equity. Also, "we must be especially ready to adopt a reasoned public health response that prioritizes vaccines for the communities that need them the most."

Kayli, you did such a great job on the air! Thank you for sharing your story with the world.
Used up a lot of my precious spoons today for a few interviews with Global! Trying to recover in bed now.
Grateful for the opportunity to share my #LongCOVID story and the findings of our study.

It has been so good! It will be worth the effort. As a #LongCovid patient since April 2020.
This has been one of the best and most accurate discussions I have watched. I have participated in forums/symposiums/summits all over the world looking for potential treatment options.
