Thank you, you have made my day in this troubled world. When I was young and rode the bus, sometimes my fellow passengers included a small group of teens with Down’s syndrome, on their way to a work activity. Excited to be going and buzzing with energy. I was always uplifted seeing them.

Dr Bridle. First thank-you for all you have done for us during this Covid debacle please offer your non medical advice (cya for you) on whether Down Syndrome are at any more risk of serious covid outcomes than other cohorts otherwise similar in other respects. My family ( wife and two young (8/10yr) children are all unvaxxed for hopefully obvious reasons. My brother (45yrs) with Down Syndrome is double vaxxed. If I had any influence on him would a booster be recommended at this point? I can't unvax him but wondering your view based on your own personal knowledge and experience with your son. I am essentially trying to understand if down syndrome is a comorbidity for Covid... thank-you and keep up this noble fight. You have helped innumerable Canadians with your outspoken bravery and conscientious stand for science and humanity and truth.
