While Dr. Kaplan-Myrth @nilikm was advocating for smaller class sizes & protecting the vulnerable, Dr. Neil Rau resorted to ad hominem attacks "you're just shouting" "Dr. K needs a refresher on understanding the epidemiology of this disease" cbc.ca/player/play/17…
...& straw-man arguments "zero covid" "you're just trying to stamp it out" when she advocated for increasing access to testing. Also the defensive response to her asking for public health transparency🧐 hmm...
"For anyone feeling unnerved about taking a cruise ship vacation this winter, Rau points out that the virus does not appear to be particularly deadly." ctvnews.ca/health/worried…
