Did you know that if you can’t access the medical system in BC because you can’t find a family doctor you’re in luck. You can pay a private corporation $4,000 and voila you have a doctor. And the best part. Any tests, labs, referrals to specialists are all paid by government.

This stinks. This is a neurotropic, cardiotropic virus. It's a huge public health threat even once truly endemic. We literally cannot afford the future costs of long term health issues from covid. We need to get serious about using science to stop transmission.

1 Welcome! You may wonder why we are having an emergency press conference when the health emergency is over. Well, as COVID cases are spiking again, we thought you’d like some reassurance that we won't be taking any action.

Can someone please explain the WORST-but-plausible outcomes from the public being 'too' cautious about avoiding COVID infection right now? Like, what are minimizers afraid will happen? Too many masks in public places? Higher booster uptake? Too much fresh air?

A bit of a thread about failure to innovate. For the past two years, we’ve had a remarkable decrease in transmission of flu, as well as a bacterium called Strep pneumoniae, which causes most cases of bacterial pneumonia for which a microbiological etiology is known

I've been studying the BC COVID seroprevalence study, co-authored by Bonnie Henry, who until recently had insisted that schools were safe. And now we know that most children (more than adults) have been infected. It's presented as good news: robust "hybrid immunity!!" 1/17

Last week, the BC CDC posted a pre-print estimating past COVID infections in Vancouver & southern BC. This study is a testament to the successful pre-omicron prevention efforts of the BC covid team and a damning indictment of the failed response to omicron & sub-variants. A 🧵

"We have not had a single 🇨🇦 MHO & Dr. Tam say the word "Airborne! If you misdirect policy on the underpinnings of a crisis... not being able to talk about airborne transmission for #COVID, you are going to fail! Because science underpins everything... We are failing." 𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝚅𝚒𝚙𝚘𝚗𝚍 [email protected]

I'm not an engineer, but the CR box has been a no-brainer since its introduction. The resistance to such a simple, cheap and effective mitigation, however, has been mind-blowing 🤯, especially in schools. #CorsiRosenthalBox

Top Canadian WHO adviser under fire after downplaying airborne threat of COVID-19 Dr. John Conly says N95 masks cause 'harms,' focus should be on physical distancing cbc.ca/news/health/ca…

A reminder that Dr Henry’s limited understanding of how PPE works, and inability to work collaboratively with occupational health professionals, was on full display in the Seven Oaks report in 2005 Here’s what Justice Campbell had to say at that time archives.gov.on.ca/en/e_records/s…

A brief thread on being a media MD & the latest COVID gaslighting. During the pandemic I’ve done my share of interviews, I’ve turned down more requests than I’ve taken choosing instead to steer reporters to those whose training and expertise are more COVID suited than mine /1

The wealthy know how to protect themselves and don't think COVID is mild While most governments and public health organizations are downplaying the severity of #COVID and relying on a vaccine only strategy, do you know who is taking COVID much more seriously? #DavosSafe 🧵1/

The thing that caused the most hardship from COVID restrictions was THE DISMAL, SLAPDASH, ALWAYS WEEKS TOO LATE APPROACH by chicken shit govts that didn’t even align with how COVID actually spreads. The policies were implemented in the least effective and most punitive ways. 1/
