#ScienceUpFirst: All the ingredients of the Pfizer vaccine in 1-min, by geneticist @alexdainis 💉

#UCalgary professor @jonathanstea, member of the #ScienceUpFirst initiative, shares five tips to help you avoid #COVID19 misinformation while scrolling through social media

We're excited to share big news! We're launching a new magazine, OpenMind, to explore science controversies, confront misinformation, and promote a more constructive role for science in our society. 👩‍🔬 #ScienceUpFirst

Thanks to committed scientists around the world, we have learned a lot about #Omicron. Here’s what we know* now; the good news and the bad news.👇 *A lot of this research is still pre-print - things may change 🧵 [1/10] #ScienceUpFirst

🧀 The Swiss cheese model reminds us that each layer of protection has some “holes” -- we need to take multiple safety measures during every activity to build a thick enough protection! #ScienceUpFirst Source: @MackayIM, James T Reason, Rose Wong, @NYTimes

Thimerosal!? Aluminum!? Formaldehyde!? Polyethylene glycol!? There’s lots of misinformation about these vaccine ingredients, so let’s spend some time finding out what’s safe and what’s not. 👇🏿 #ScienceUpFirst #NIAW2022 🧵[1/6]

Today is the first ever National #LongCOVIDAwareness Day! Join the #LongCOVID Town Hall live at 12:00PM ET to hear from experts and patients on our friend @COVID_19_Canada's FB page: Or follow along here as we live-tweet the event! 👇🏽 #ScienceUpFirst

"Top tips for navigating the #Infodemic!" Solid list, from @WHO: #ScienceUpFirst! #GoTeam!

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines can’t change your DNA. Dr. Asher Williams tells us why ⤵️ Give this post a share to combat misinformation! #ScienceUpFirst

Covid-19 misinformation? We’re over it. Pseudoscience? Over it. Conspiracies? Over it. Want to do your part to amplify scientific expertise and evidence-based health information? Join us. 🇨🇦 Follow us @ScienceUpFirst. #ScienceUpFirst

Thx to ⁦@PeterHotez⁩ for his advocacy! The lies & harassment coming from #RFKjr camp is unacceptable. Good to see ⁦@OutFrontCNN⁩ support science & #publichealth. #ScienceUpFirst!

Let’s not let misinformation about misinformation distract from the reality that much of the content that has done serious harm is clearly & unequivocally total BS. My new piece: "Misinformation: Yep, still a problem" via @HealthyDebate #ScienceUpFirst cc @scienceupfirst @picardonhealth @UbakaOgbogu @jonathanstea @DocMCohen @AntibioticDoc @cca_reports @RSCTheAcademies @DrJenGunter @UAlberta @UAlbertaLaw @PeterHotez @carlyweeks @DrShazmaMithani @DFisman @ImogenRCoePhD @dgurdasani1

Majority of Canadians support return of face masks if deemed necessary: Despite all the noise, #misinformation, & polarization, important to recognize that vast majority of Canadians support science-informed (yes, complex!) policy. #ScienceUpFirst

Huge benefit. Extremely small risk. Terrific piece makes a basic but essential point that must be repeated often: the vaccines are incredibly effective & remarkably safe. "Why the #COVID Vaccines Aren’t Dangerous" via @NewYorker #ScienceUpFirst

Bottom line: No evidence to support the "died suddenly" noise. Fact check: Post wrongly claims 118,000 'died suddenly' from COVID-19 vaccine by @KochiSudiksha #ScienceUpFirst

Expert says kids should learn in school how to spot #misinformation Enjoyed chatting with @SLangeneggerCBC on @cbcsask about need to teach #criticalthinking! Misinformation is a generational issue! #ScienceUpFirst

Which bivalent vaccine is better? Right now there is no evidence to suggest that one will outperform the other. But, they are still two different vaccines so here is a vial-by-vial comparison. 👇 #ScienceUpFirst 🧵[1/7]

COVID-19 Vaccine lies pushed by mRNA con artists #ScienceupFirst @CaulfieldTim has repeatedly spread the lie that myocarditis is more common with SARS-CoV2 than COVID-19 Vaccines Reality: Post mRNA vaccine myocarditis is > 28 times more common than post COVID #ableg #cdnpoli

Is "natural" always better? 🍎 Many of us have a fondness for things that seem "natural". However, that does not necessarily mean that it is not dangerous! This is the cognitive bias known as a call to nature. 🧵[1/4] #ScienceUpFirst

Despite what this “homeopathic medical doctor” would like you to believe, masks and vaccines do work. And homeopathy cannot violate fundamental principles in physics and pharmacology. #ScienceUpFirst
