Darwin is about “natural” selection.
This has nothing to do with medicine or technologies. He spoke about the way “Nature” chooses best.

Ephraim isn’t being stupid. If people opt out of human intervention, they’re casting themselves on the vagaries of evolution, Darwin for short. We can try to restrict ourselves to friends and places where masks are used and we know people are vaccinated, but in real life we’re bound to end up beside people who are taking their chances.

More like a reference Darwin as a short hand how stupid people are self-selecting to die, c.f. Darwin awards.

I think we have to pay attention to how difficult it is for some people to be vaccinated.
I follow MUHC health professional Fatima Tokhmafshan (@DeNovo_Fatima) on twitter. She’s shared how people who work shifts don’t fit into what is currently available.
We’re all on twitter etc., so we think it’s the anti-vax guys at fault.
I think Quebec is not don’t a good job of making vaccinations easy for a lot of people.

Any news about plans to improve ventilation in schools and the health care system now that weaknesses have been exposed?

MarcG: No, and people are worried about it.
