No this drug is actually approved for prevention and not treatment.

It probably would reduce the chance they would get sick and get natural immunity. However a RSV vaccine for infants is hopefully not far off so they can gain immunity that way.

Note that this is a monoclonal antibody injection and not a vaccine. This means that it will be way more expensive and protection will only last a few months at most. This is still a good thing for that are young and don't mount great immune responses, but an actual vaccine approved for this age group is still needed.

Sigh. This seems to be happening with all the low cost competitors (RIP start.ca)

The MCC is money-grubbing, rent-seeking, parasite of an organization. Even having trained in Canada and having had an easier time going through all the hoops the IMGs, I have nothing but disdain for them.

Ontario and other provinces have recently allowed US licenced physicians to practice in Canada and this should be extended to other Western countries with similar training and practice, especially for desperately needed roles like family physicians.

There aren't that many Wallmarts relative to grocery stores and they also aren't usually in the same areas that people do grocery shopping, so I don't think they are a significant competition.

We train too few doctors and nurses, and the pay in the most needed positions is too low. There are plenty of bandaid solutions around but unless these underlying issues get solved nothing will change.

Our supply management is also bad, but at least the cost is born by people who use dairy products. I would argue that the US dairy subsidies are worse as everyone is paying for it whether they like it or not.

It's a bit of a shame. Flying with Swoop was a gamble but most of my flights worked out and it was usually amazingly cheap. I was hoping there was going to be a boom of discount airlines in Canada but it's going the opposite way now.

A great day for Canada, and therefore the world

Same, it's currently much better
