It’s clear to me why Dr Henry is in the news and that absolutely no one is distracted from her medical message. Nobody is commenting about her hair, body or makeup. The idea she can’t be a serious medical health officer and also a whole person - who happens to wear fun, good quality, Canadian shoes, and have that picked up on by the designer to create a tribute, with proceeds going to her cause - frankly strikes me as more sexist than the actual events here. And enjoying a small national pick-me-up moment doesn’t mean we aren’t taking our 30K cases seriously, far from it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114749 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 21:28:03 +0000 Anonymous 2114749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any time a young woman believes that science is a great career choice is a silver lining. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114747 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 21:10:20 +0000 Suz 2114747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear, hear, <b>Gaylene</b>!! Brilliantly articulated!&nbsp;</p> <p>We would not be noticing or talking about Dr. Henry's necklaces or shoes if we had not tuned in to listen to her health message.

Well done ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114729 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 19:07:19 +0000 Style Fan 2114729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have been very fortunate to have such talented women scientists and physicians in these positions and to have politicians listening to them.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114727 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 18:42:44 +0000 Gaylene 2114727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone for our collective celebration of smart, competent female scientists and doctors who deserve our thanks during these somber times. It makes me happy to think they are getting the kind of recognition normally reserved for “celebrities”.&nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div><b>Sterling</b>, you raise a good point. As a bit of context, I think many Canadians (and I count myself among them) were somewhat surprised at how many of our top public health officials turned out to be women who have highly impressive credentials as well as international reputations in epidemiology. Because our politicians wisely chose to let public health officials take the lead in determining and communicating &nbsp;the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, these formerly rather obscure women doctors and scientists have been thrust into the public spotlight and have done a remarkable job of helping Canadians realize the importance of complying with the measures they have decided are necessary. The media rightly dubbed them our new “rock stars”.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Personally, I find it heartening to see hardworking, talented, intelligent female scientists being celebrated in the media—and, more importantly, being trusted by the politicians and a diverse population. The need for immediate, stringent measures was understood by most of the population because of the clarity, preciseness, and urgency of the message delivered by these women. The fact that this message was delivered with compassion and empathy was a big part of why these women have become so important to us.&nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>You’re right that Dr. Henry’s shoes, Dr. Tam’s floral blazers, and Dr. Hinshaw’s periodical table dress aren’t important, but the fact that these remarkable women are having the light of celebrity shone on their character, personalities, and accomplishments <b>IS</b> important. And, if little girls start thinking being a scientist is a cool job, maybe that is a silver lining?</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114718 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 18:01:16 +0000 Echo 2114718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I agree with Sterling, I have to say that if a man were wearing colorful wing-tips people would be talking about his shoes, too. When a public figure wear something colorful and/or unusual, they know that it will be talked about. That's not to say we should dismiss their message, just that one dresses for one's audience. She is okay with people discussing her shoes, otherwise she wouldn't wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114699 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:50:53 +0000 Anonymous 2114699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went and checked the John Hopkins CoVid 19 dashboard. &nbsp;You are right, Canada, only 30,000 cases. &nbsp;So not a problem for your country. &nbsp;YAY Canada. &nbsp;Go back to focusing on fashion. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114697 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 15:43:41 +0000 Anonymous 2114697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little taken aback that we are talking about what a health care provider wears and not what her message is. &nbsp;There is something seriously wrong with that. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-dr-henry-fluevog#post-2114637 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:53:45 +0000 Helena 2114637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!
