And the worst part is that a Canadian pediatric hospital @sickkidsto.bsky.social was partners in this study, and cancelling it means Canadian kids with cancer will die now. It’s not charity…we contributed money and expertise as well. And now OUR kids suffer. #cdnpoli #onpoli
There is a large opportunity here for Ontario & Canada, who have a very well developed facility in clinical trials, to step in and save this work & capture some world class expertise. Unfortunately, we're to busy building unnecessary hiways so speculators can realize their gains. #onpoli #cdnpoli
Hopefully we have copies of all the data and can at least continue with our patients…but the problem is that with rare diseases, we need larger populations to test on…and partnering with the US helped us get access to larger groups of patients with rare pediatric cancers. #onpoli #cdnpoli
For other trials on more common types of tumours and diseases, we can absolutely do amazing research and should. It would create jobs and establish reputations. Enhance universities. But…we seem to think infrastructure is only machines and buildings, roads…. #onpoli #cdnpoli
