Dear @BCNDPCaucus,
✴️By now you may have heard that BC has not been following what peer reviewed science is saying.
✴️You may have also learned that the @CDCofBC is deliberately not contact tracing or collecting data in #bced so they can say that schools are safe.

✴️Review my twitter feed for past year & you will see all the scientific studies that show that BC is not following the science.
✴️Key facts we are ignoring: the virus is aerosolized and Health Care workers and essential workers need N95s to stay safe, particularly with VoCs.

✴️BC is also ignoring how the virus is largely spread. 50% of spread comes from people who have no symptoms. The @CDCofBC has ignored warnings from around the world and REFUSED to mass test asymptomatic people. This is negligent.

✴️BC’s policy of under-testing ensures that positive case rates are under-represented but our + rate shows that we are missing many positive cases.
✴️BC is not trying to test-trace-isolate whole population, just some of the population. It seems to depend on occupation.

✴️Over 16,000 people are self-isolating now, instead of being tested. If they have COVID, we’ll never know. Why not test?
✴️Not having a + test will impact their ability to access medical support if they develop long-covid.
✴️15% of kids & 30-50% of adults develop long-covid.

✴️Long-covid can be debilitating & many have a multitude of symptoms for many weeks/months/yrs. Formerly 100% healthy people are incapacitated and unable to work or attend schools.
✴️Some symptoms may diminish, others stay— many are permanent. 1 in 3 have neurological damage.

✴️It is clear to anyone paying attention that the Gustafson-Henry Declaration (GBD) is an experiment that nobody in BC gave their consent to participate in.
✴️What’s worse is they are using children to promote natural immunity by lying and saying they aren’t impacted.

✴️Variants of Concern — particularly P1, B.1.351 and B.1.1.7, mean that we need to change our strategy. They do impact children and younger people in negative ways.
✴️P1 & B.1.351 have mutation gene (E484K). May evade triggering immune system & allow folk to be infected again.

✴️BC has over 1500 of the P1 variant which is doubling every 4ish days?
✴️It is 100-150% more infectious than the Wild Covid (1st version). Means 1 person can infect 2-3 people.
✴️Not testing asymptomatic people means we will not be stopping chains of transmission.

✴️Quebec, Ontario, Denmark, UK, Israel and now Alberta — have all shown that schools drive community spread, especially with VoCs. They are honest and report data.
✴️They found that children were bringing COVID home and infecting 100% of people in families (attack rate).

✴️We are seeing the impact of this in ON — where whole families are now in the ICU. Children are becoming orphans & have to deal w/ the guilt of knowing they may have brought COVID home & infected parents. This will cause more mental health problems than taking school online.

✴️The Health Act requires govt to take preventative measures and protect it’s citizens. You are supposed to require the PHO to test, report and protect citizens. That is your job. Not follow blindly. Your caucus is not doing your due diligence. Read the science yourselves.

✴️We need new Health leaders in BC that will protect long-term health of it’s citizen rather than the economy.
✴️P1 could cause massive amount of deaths to all ages in our Province, like Brazil. Not trying to suppress virus could lead to our Province infecting all of N.A.

✴️Incumbent upon all of you to act. Fate of N.A. rests in your hands. Stop only listening to Dr Henry/Gustafson & seek out independent council from other scientists.
✴️Ask to see the scientific studies that support BC’s plan. If there are none, ask why? Follow the science.

✴️Because BC has not followed the science and built up it’s capacity to test large numbers of people at one time, we will not be able to test-trace-isolate.
🛑The only logical and responsible solution is to go for #COVIDZero. It’ll save families/lives and the economy. #bced
