š§µ 1/ Itās become quite apparent re: complete lack of media coverage that likely only these 4 (& those they chose to share it with) were privy to this 2nd letter dated Apr12/22 from HRC Govender: Dr. Henry herself w/CCs to @adriandix & 2 DPHOs. #bcpoli bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/uplā¦
2/ What happened? Well, on the newly updated HRC āKey Issues: Covid-19ā Sec, it incl this link to āDiscrimination Media Releaseā page that was last updated on Mar28/22. Which was the media release date of the Mar16/22 letter & comes before the 2nd letter. bchumanrights.ca/news/commissioā¦
3/ So, I took a trip down memory lane to rehash the cascade of attention that this 1st HRC letter received after Henryās Mar10/22 mask repeal. bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/uplā¦
š§µ 1/ š @humanrights4BC for updating your Covid19 sec w/ @KasariGovenderās Mar16/22 letter to #DrHenry. Also, for incl this imp 2nd letter dated Apr12/22 that challenges BCPH narrative, Henryās response & continues to advocate for masks. #bcpoli #bced bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/uplā¦
2/ As per your Apr12/22 reply to #DrHenry, you state: āAlthough I understand reasoningā¦for ending temp mask mandate, I wish to offer some responses to points raised in you Mar31/22 letter.ā Conātā¦
3/ āWhile itās encouraging pop-level threat of serous outcomes from Covid is reduced, itās not the proportion of people at risk but the rights of marginalized that are relevant to HR...ā
š§µ 1/ So, @CDCofBC remember the good old days before all this PR spin & politicization of viruses when you would w/o ambiguity & careful omission report weekly virus info incl *Influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks in schools*? Letās dig in to this, shall we?#bcpoli
2/ So, hereās blast from past re:3 yrs ago via your 2019-20 weekly report when news out of Wuhan was just unraveling on pg 10 but you were still speaking truth on pg 9 that āFour school Influenza-like Illness (ILI) outbreaks have been reported.ā #bced bccdc.ca/resource-galleā¦ 
3/ Okay & letās travel back further to 4 yrs ago when BC kids were on cusp of Winter Break. Hereās your 2018 Influenza info for Dec 9-15 & on pg 10 you report that ā24 Influenza-like Illness school outbreaks h/b reported.āThis lines up w/pg 3 ā¬ļø#s in BCCH! bccdc.ca/resource-galleā¦
Ahead of #DrHenry & @adriandix's Fall "respiratory viruses" pressor, pls note @GovCanHealth CITF-funded nation-wide studies conclude:
1) "Omicron is mild" is dangerous myth; 10s of 1000s of Cdns hosp in serious cond & 1000s died, as many as in 2 preceding waves. #bcpoli 1/š§µ

2) Omicron wave caused unprecedented rise in Cdn infection-acquired seroprevalence
3) Re: @stats_canada <45 experienced high excess mortality.
4) In data derived largely from blood donors, highest levels of seropositivity due to infection were in young adults (17-24) 2/

1/š§µSo, how widespread is the national support of BCās population studies? Or perhaps a better question is who in BCās research field has most influence & clout at national level? Well, thereās 1 name on top of that list & thatās Mel Krajden - 1 of BCās most prolific co-authors.
2/ A brief recap ...
On Mar1st/21, when #DrHenry announced that BC was extending intervals from 3-16 wks, Chief Science Advisor, Mona Nemer, said it basically amounted to āa population level experimentā & āthat proper clinical trialsā s/b conducted 1st. cbc.ca/news/politics/ā¦

3/ On Mar2/21, Dr.Henry called the stmt āan unfortunate comment", saying that Nemer āwas not involved in the evaluation that led B.C. to make a decision tailored to its current case level.ā She doubled down & insisted it was based on science & data.#bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/brā¦
1/ @JM_Whiteside @adriandix pls explain why you're not using every tool in the toolbox to protect #bced students/staff/fam & public when even your own govt branches-@CDCofBC @PHSAofBC-are chalk full of online resources re: risks & devastating effects of #LongCovid #LongCovidKids
2/ Specifically, as per the @CDCofBC "COVID-19 Illness in Children" page (updated Jan/22)
"If your child still feels sick weeks or months after having COVID-19, itās called Post-COVID-19 condition or ālong COVIDā. It may affect both children & adults." bccdc.ca/health-info/diā¦
"If your child still feels sick weeks or months after having COVID-19, itās called Post-COVID-19 condition or ālong COVIDā. It may affect both children & adults." bccdc.ca/health-info/diā¦
3/ Also, re: above is @PHAC info, a "Welcome to #LongCovid" lntro video & harsh dose of reality look behind BCPH "back to normalcy" PR curtain w/@PHSAofBC link including real risks of life altering effects that can occur even after "mild" acute illness: phsa.ca/our-services/pā¦
1/ So, remember BC studies w/waived ethics co-authored by #DrHenry? Well, I looked into BCPH Act re:Emerg Powers & to summarize:
#DrHenry still believes #COVID19 is significant risk as "infectious/hazardous agent" w/serious PH impact but she wants you to forget all that.#bcpoli
#DrHenry still believes #COVID19 is significant risk as "infectious/hazardous agent" w/serious PH impact but she wants you to forget all that.#bcpoli
2/ Let me explain. So, as per the PH Act, Part 5-Emerg Powers, sec 53: āDuring an emerg, this Part applies despite any provision of this or any other enactment, incl "the collection, use or disclosure of personal info..." #bcpoli bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/documentā¦
3/ This above section may just provides a convenient cherry-picking opportunity to justify no participant consent in these studies, but in order for this section to apply, there must be a BCPH Emergency declared, stipulating serious risk to PH. #bcpoli
1/š§µSo, who's ready to explore some "made in BC" ethics waivers w/me? Six studies w/similar stmts & one document that might just be a crucial puzzle piece. btw-this thread & corresponding paper is culmination of weeks of my intermittent research...okay, here. it. goes...#bcpoli
2/ Before getting into it, lets look at the waiver stmts w/each corresponding study. The 1st five are all co-authored by #DrHenry incl. 4 vax studies & the P.1 study. The 6th is a WGS project that took place during the P1 outbreak & the Delta wave. They are as follows: #bcpoli
3/ #1 Vax study stmt: "Data linkages & analyses were conducted under a surveillance mandate, authorized by the PHO under the Public Health Act, and exempt from research ethics board review.ā#bcpoli ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/Pā¦
1/š§µSo, remember when word spread that P.1. was exploding &ā¬ļøyoung people seriously ill but BCPH narrative re: VOC prevalence was murky at best? Well, what if I told you there's published proof that P.1 cases were almost 4X the disclosed total by #DrHenry @adriandix & @CDCofBC?
2/ Let's travel back to Mar/Apr 2021 when doctors were sounding the alarm wrt to the seriousness of P.1. & #DrHenry emphasized "the small # variants represent" & that they were, as usual, "watching carefully," as per this @PennyDaflos news article: #bcpoli bc.ctvnews.ca/it-really-hit-ā¦
1/7š§µSo, remember when we were begging for RATs & BCPH & #DrHenry were refusing us access at every turn? Well, a certain @CDCofBC PH Laboratory Medical Director, not only knew early on their usefulness, esp wrt asymptomatic infection but he co-authored article about it.#bcpoli
2/7 Mel Krajden said this Mar29/21: āRATs can detect infection in people w/viral loadsā¦regardless if they're symptomatic or not. People who have asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic infections may account for more than 1/2 of SARS-CoV-2 transmissionsā #bcpoli cmaj.ca/content/193/13ā¦
1/ š§µWell, it took me awhile to organize all this research info. So many rabbit holes. I finally decided the best way forward was to divide into parts. So the following is Part 1 summary of BC's vast research funding sources/initiatives. Hold on to your hats, it's a ride! #bcpoli
2/ 1st up, @HlthResearchBC. Did you know that the MSHR launched a Covid-19 Research Response Fund at outset of pandemic w/call out to BC researchers to have results available in time to inform public health responses thru fall/winter 2021? #bcpoli msfhr.org/1/news_articleā¦
3/ Also, did you know that there's a Covid-19 Strategic Research Advisory Committee (SRAC) that supports BC's coordinated research pandemic response? It's bridge btwn PHO, gov't & research community w/primary role to advise on priorities/funding/findings.msfhr.org/strategic-provā¦
1/5 Thereās no question that like #abpoli, #DrHenry @adriandix @JM_Whiteside @BCSTA_News all KNEW #COVID19 would rip thru #bced. In fact, #DrHenry said herself that #COVID19 constitutes health hazard & masks are essential to protect students/staff: #bcpoli www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
2/5 Right up until #DrHenryās Face-coverings PH Order (above) was replaced with her Mar10th Repeal order, THIS was her official stance in writing about the importance of #bced masking:#bcpoli
3/5 & THESE were #DrHenryās *thinly veiled politically motivated flimsy* āreasonsā to rescind mask mandate on Mar10th (whereupon she gears up for her honorary degree & award circuit)ā¦Anyway, from health hazard to āother possible seasonal factorsā:#bcpoli www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
1/9š§µSo, remember back when #DrHenry said she wanted to get out of the āorder business?ā Well, in her Mar10/22 Repeal of Face Coverings Order-like many of her PH orders-she left the door open for Regional MHOs to reinstate masks where they see fitā¦#bcpoli www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
2/9 #DrHenry: āRecognizing that the risk differs in different regions of the prov & that MHOs are in the best position to assess local circumstances & to determine whether steps need to be taken to reduce the risk of the transmission of #COVID19ā¦ā #bcpoli www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
3/9 āā¦this Notice does not affect the authority of a MHO to make an order requiring the wearing of face coverings in the whole or part of the geographic area of the Province for which the medical health officer is designated.ā#bcpoli www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
š§µ1/ Well, letās just peer into the only real window of truth to find out how BC kids are really doing so far at start of this long weekend, shall we? As of 7:45pm on Fri April 15th, the Emergency wait time at @BCChildrensHosp is 5hrs5mins. #bced #bcpoli edwaittimes.ca/WaitTimes.aspx
2/ And to put that in perspective, on this same day, Apr 15th, at this same time of 7:45pm, Ontarioās @CHEO has a current wait time of 4hrs48mins & describes it as seeing āheavy volumesā h/t @beansprouts_mom #bcpoli cheo.on.ca/en/visiting-chā¦
3/ Unlike @BCChildrensHosp, @CHEO incl #s waiting, specifying that #s donāt incl kids in line for triage & also clarifies some may even wait longer. With @BCChildrensHosp at an even longer wait time, the only logical conclusion is that things are just as bad or worse. #bcpoli
On Mar 29th @SoniaFurstenau pushed @adriandix to answer for HR infringements & inequitable mask mandate repeal that disproportionately impacts marginalized, vulnerable people as outlined in HRC @KasariGovender's letter to #DrHenry. h/t @RossiniTahli š§µ1/
@SoniaFurstenau sums up the exchange nicely here wrt @adriandix's deferment to #DrHenry on all #COVID19 safety matters incl. her careful decision making regarding masks while declaring that his office has upheld his gov't's anti-discriminatory mandate: 2/
So, I thought that it was time that I connect the dots about #DrHenry's contradictory stmts & beliefs of current & ongoing #COVID19 PH risks, esp wrt marginalized & clinically vulnerable groups. Here is a summary of my letter to @BCGreens @SoniaFurstenau & @bcgreencaucus...3/
Okay, I dove into BCās PH Orders again AKA *The Treasure Trove of #COVID19 Risk Disclosures Underscoring Need for More Safety Quietly Composed & Authorized by DBH & Her Team Behind Closed Doors.* But now Iām focused on Dec 3/21 āFace Coveringsā Order & let me tell you whyā¦š§µ1/14
You see, itās Dr. Henryās most recent written mask order for public places incl. schools/post secondary & certain sections justifying masks are carbon copy of recent Mar 10th/22 order extending vaccine passports to Apr 8th (previous thread)ā¦#bcpoli 2/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
Particularly: J. āOur PH & HC systems are currently experiencing severe stress & are stretched beyond capacity in their efforts to prevent and respond to illness resulting from the transmission of #COVID19ā¦ā #bcpoli 3/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/heaā¦
1/ Thoughts on the emergency #bced COVID-19 briefing, called by #DrBonnieHenry & @JM_Whiteside on Oct. 1, 2021, after 3 major districts mandated masks for K-Gr. 3ā¦
ā¦A thread. š§µ
ā¦A thread. š§µ
2/ First, K-12 masks were mandated for #bced.
So, *now* #DrHenry & @JM_Whiteside say āwe need to keep younger children from getting infected until they are vaccinatedā?!
You are only realizing this NOW? With #delta dominant?
Parents & teachers knew, even before this chart. ā¬ļø

3/ Ventilation still not addressed.
Despite:
- crowded classes (no distancing)
- lunch indoors (no masks)
- transmissible #delta
- K-Gr.6 unvaxxed
- 2-dose breakthroughs
Will it be another month or 2 of š before action?
Reminder: Ont doing better; spent 2x BC & has HEPA!š§µā¬ļø
