C.A.R.E is a group made up of patients who survived a sudden cardiac arrest and parents who lost their children to sudden cardiac arrest. We also have scientists who are experts in this field, paramedic organizations from York, Peel, Toronto, Halton, County Simcoe and organizations like The Canadian SADS Foundation and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, who promote public awareness about the warning signs for these conditions.

⚠️REINFECTION RISK—Omicron doesn’t protect from future infection much—2 studies “taken together, ➡️ our results suggest that #Omicron-induced immunity may not be sufficient to prevent infection from another, more pathogenic variant, should it emerge in the future” 👀 #COVID19 https://twitter.com/yaneerbaryam/status/1487814184104517632

Merchants of herd death oversold immunity. People are being reinfected immediately again after Omicron infection.

We have the data: Both laboratory experiments and actual cases.
