"Mild" COVID-19 can cause vascular, neurological, and very concerningly t cell damage. The more times you get Covid, the more at risk you are. Public health needs to do a much better job informing people of this.

A reminder that anti-vaxxers have called in bomb threats to four hospitals so far. One in Toronto, three in Ottawa including Children's Hospital. Not one person who doesn't want to get a vaccine spoke out against that. So no, I won't be "uniting" with them.
