Update 1: Help Spread the Word!

Hi everyone! Michael here.

I want to begin by expressing my sincere and heartfelt thanks to every one of you who took the time to share and sign my petition.  Together, we will make a real difference in keeping our communities safe from Shoppers Drug Mart's dangerous symptomatic testing program.

I've been blown away by the growth of our little movement.  We are over 800 strong and counting, in less than two days!

But I need your help to spread the message across Ontario.  Every day I meet people who have never heard that their local Shoppers Drug Mart may be inviting symptomatic COVID patients inside a store crowded with vulnerable people.  

Specifically, I am asking you to share our petition directly with people you know who have broad platforms and a pro-public health stance.  

• Politicians
• Public health and policy experts
• Pharmacists
• Doctors
• Nurses
• Allied health professionals
• Patient advocates
• Academics in public health or policy
• Anyone else who has a large social media following and supports the fight against COVID

I am also looking to reach organizations who can support our cause.  If you know anyone in these or similar groups, please have them contact me directly at michaelvscovid@gmail.com or twitter @michaelvscovid :

• Ontario Pharmacists Association (OPA)
• Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP)
• Ontario Medical Association (OMA)
• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO)
• Ontario Nurses Association (ONA)
• College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO)
• All other allied health associations or colleges
• Schools of health professions, public health or policy

Thank you once again for your support.  I am tremendously grateful to stand with you in the fight for safer communities.
