The C19 response will be remembered as the largest social policy failure in Canadian history. That dye is cast and the public must now clean up the wreckage left by an undisciplined public health community. 1/
Public health failed badly in it duties and this shouldn't be brushed aside. A Royal Commission is essential to root out the problems and the disturbing trend of placing politics and virtue signaling ahead of sound evidence based policy. 2/
Going forward, it will be important to define who made the fatal decisions to stray away from the standard pandemic playbook and to embrace the quack ideology of lockdowns. This was an stunningly poor decision and those responsible must be held to account. 3/
This disastrous decision is the root of all other C19 problems. It crippled our reasoning processes and grossly distorted our understanding of risk. This pushed public health to leverage itself to fantasy thinking and vaccines as a magic cure-all. 4/
And when this fantasy thinking fell apart, public health messaging become more aggressive, coercive and damaging. The C19 campaign became untethered to reality and society then lost faith in public health and gov't. 5/
This was an epic debacle and one avoidable through focused protection strategies. Going forward, public health should focus on one goal. It needs to air its dirty laundry in public so that trust can be carefully rebuilt. End.
