deaths and a massive increase in infections, Canada’s top doctor says more investments are needed to combat misinformation about vaccines and pandemic measures to ensure Canada is ready for possible new variants of concern.

Omicron and its hundreds of subvariants have taught the world that SARS-CoV-2 could be much more contagious than previously thought and that the virus is cunningly adept at evading immunity, Tam said. Communicating this ongoing uncertainty has been a challenge, Tam says, especially when Canadians are “fed up” with the pandemic.

But one of the other lessons learned has been that collective action among populations is key to reducing risk — actions like seeing as many people vaccinated and boosted as possible, Tam said. She pointed to the success Canada has seen in decreasing the number of mpox cases in the country over the last eight months since that virus first began to spread in Canada in May.How to get messaging right on masks, vaccines as ‘triple threat’ of viruses swirl

Such a useless tweet... We all know the source of misinformation

“Top doctor”

Maybe she should do a video with Mrs. Claus. That should go over well and help with the misinformation!!!🤦🏻‍♂️

Agreed, more needs to done about government misinformation, especially on covid. They are on pharma's payroll, can't be trusted. No the vaccine does not work, it's doesn't stop the spread and it doesn't protect others.

She is the misinformation.

You can tell how much people care about your headlines by the number of likes on this post.

Maybe She should Stop giving us false information 🙄

She's not a doctor, she's a politician

I know, stop taxpayers money from flowing into media giants and we’re good

She is a he lol,and Canada a dumpster fire.

More communism

Correct, instead of punishing BigPharma for the 20 year opioid crisis the tyrannical government went into business with these criminals, for jabs, how long will this scam go on for 20 years too!?!

Ah no... no one is buying the narrative anymore. Omicron barely even gives fever.

Tam-For a start to counter Covid-19 'misinformation'- getting RID of all YOU LIARS in Govt/ Health/media would end all THE LIES, DECEIT & CORRUPTION --- AND---- SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES AND $$$$millions of taxpayer money

The only covid misinformation I see comes from the MSM, public health authorities and the politicians.

Misinformation goes against the propaganda. WE Can't have that.

Oh FFS shut up already. Please.

It’s not about misinformation with these people, it’s about control.

Agreed

Give it up already.

It’s OVER! Deal with it. Continue with your climate crisis for now until that runs it’s course😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I couldn’t agree with her more. The amount of people with no background in science spreading lies is disgusting. More needs to be done to protect the work we have done we can’t have people with no science background to state lies as facts. The lies cause irreversible damage.

You mean like this? Gross....
