Quote tweeted this for you. 4-28 days is risk period. Very rare. Ontario COVID19 Science Advisory Table has a website with super useful science briefs: here is their summary for the vaccine-induced blood clot. (They say risk period is 4-28 days after shot)

Thread regarding COVID19 in #ygk Thanks for this - I have also just donated. Helped me feel like I was doing something tangible to offset the horror of the news reports. Time for a plug: highly recommend the “Five Things to Know” series in @CMAJ (COI: I am an editor). Never recognized the treasure trove of info stored there... check it out! At 300 words, it’s easily digestible + high yield content. @AAMorra13 My best meme... Nice presentation to guide online teachers - 10 rules for slides. Canada can’t stand by while India’s medical system collapses https://t.co/4vCI9UEQYS I cannot amplify this enough. Interesting take on collecting diverse opinions - find people who disagree with you will help you make better decisions https://t.co/ENnj13uoQD @JHowardBrainMD Same! This man is a national treasure.

It kinda looks like Jeff is... @EnswellJones Are you sure you weren't eating chips? @Qemerg has always had this kind of support. It is one of the things I value most - the *unconditional* step up to take on shifts when someone has a crisis. No matter who, and no matter what. I'm just so constantly grateful for my colleagues. and Kingston. #ygk @JenniferA_Ma Awww, thanks! How awesome!! Thank you. An outstanding educator with massive influence - congratulations @sherbino!! Great to see an Emergency Medicine leader honoured with this. I love these so much. These TikToks are at the top of my pandemic survival kit. (Also Bill, I get you - hang in there!) @SchulichMedDent @daniellekelton @WesternUEmerg Awesome to see this, @daniellekelton!! @RichardLehman1 I’m so sorry. There are no words for this loss.

But I don't need anything - feel free to make a donation instead to people who do, or just go and support a local business. Many people in our community struggling right now. @jezcarreiro Thanks for that. (I’m a freelance complainer too...haha) @swseanag @kmbrleyn Nice! Thanks to both of you! Very sad. Not unexpected and unfortunately necessary given yesterday but still. Another loss for #ygk in a year of losses. @Qemerg - interesting opportunity! Maybe you can hit up @film_md for tips... Amplifying this - thanks Eve. I just spent an hour with a garbage bag picking up some of the waste. As a #Queensu alumni + professor I'm generally pro-Queen's. But I'm angry about this desecration of our beloved #ygk waterfront. And as an ER doc I'm terrified of the 3rd wave and these gatherings. @Qemerg - resources This is chilling 👀 this thread. 100% agree Twitter thread with notes on regional LTC issues @jgordonboyd This happened to me last week. Had a *blissful* meeting free day and then realized it had not, in fact, been meeting free... Ouch. This is... not good great thread updating #ygk on our current status from presser with @MOHKFLA This is a thoughtful conversation about the role of men in ending violence against women. https://t.co/iWWAmIXaG7 @acweyand Honestly it should be mandatory after Daylight Savings... @DGlaucomflecken I wondered... but wasn’t sure. Now that you say that I totally recognize him. outstanding thread on heavy menstrual bleeding in adolescents He deserves all the kudos. He and his hard-working staff are the reason we are green right now. Yes. And both are amazing women with a record of high quality care for our community. I've just spent 5 minutes digesting this. What a story. @jmugele I may have heard this phrase aimed at me once or twice... I've learned to wear it proudly. Means you feel things strongly and are passionate about what you believe in. @DrDmytrash yeah. I remember - like it was yesterday even though 30 years have passed - a rotation where the attending clearly didn't like me and it was just awful. @EMResUBC looks great, gang - Nice to see a few familiar faces! The \"hanging out with...\" series is PURE GOLD"
Also it reminds me to remember that med students are constantly trying to figure out and fit in with the rotation vibe - challenging, stressful and exhausting. @AAMorra13 and completely random bizarre Harlequin Romance novel covers And while we are at it - innovative ways to bring natural light into basement EDs exist ...

I'm devastated as a neighbourhood user of an amazing resource now unavailable to me. Don't want to undermine public health + FTR was taken aback by the crowds at the pier the last few days.
