Help combat medical misinformation

In my day to day, I’m both a practising physician and a working journalist. I take a similar approach to both roles: I state what I know to be the science, what the facts of the matter are. I give the best information I can to patients and to readers, so I can do my part in helping them make a decision. Both jobs require making sense of noise and uncertainty.

The Walrus does this work with every story. It’s a publication that meets people where they are: fact-checking each line and presenting the full picture. I saw this first-hand as I wrote the December issue cover story on the measles outbreak in Alberta. That experience underscored for me how trusted journalism is an inseparable asset in fighting the return of viruses we had eradicated from Canada and in shaping the future with compassion.

You play a part in that as well: support reporting that combats health misinformation. Make a contribution today to a Canadian outlet that values education above all else.

Thank you.
