No single answer to βwhen should I go to the ED?β Need to be aware of barriers for vulnerable populations as well as barriers for providers trying to help. https://t.co/vXAiy2wU9P

He was not a public figure. His family deserves some privacy and respect. https://t.co/jtt24kZOyp

Paul Davidson Hannam received both his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of British Columbia. He completed his studies in 1999 and was practicing family medicine by 2001. He spoke for Toronto’s Michael Garron Hospital in July 2018 after it received victims from the Danforth mass shooting in which two teenaged girls were killed.
RIP Paul D. Hanam (October 7, 1971 – July 16, 2022)
It took me about 10 articles before I came across Dr. Hannam’s age and you have it at 50 Thanks for reporting it as others didn’t mention it at all.
Is this what it has to take for Canadians to realize these Cell N Gene therapies for CoV2 are dangerous and do not work at all, on top of the majority of Covid Patients in Hospitals are fully Vaxed!
