Okay, I dove into BC’s 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 I’m focused on Dec 3/21 “Face Coverings” Order & let me tell you why…🧵1/14

https://twitter.com/littleann4ever/status/1503293813770514435

You see, it’s Dr. Henry’s 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)…#bcpoli 2/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

Particularly: J. “Our 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 #COVID19…” #bcpoli 3/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

And: K.“Both the PH & the HC systems are using disproportionate amts of their resources in their efforts to prevent & respond to the transmission of SARS-CoV2 & to provide care for those who become ill…” #bcpoli 4/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

Basically, these identical 2 sections in both orders confirm *the more things change, the more things stay the same* AKA the VOC waves keep coming, too many people are getting very ill & our hospital/HC system are stretched beyond capacity then & NOW! #CovidIsNotOver #bcpoli 5/14

And this gem from Dec 3rd Order: N.“During cooler & wetter weather people gather indoors which facilitates & accelerates [#COVID19] transmission” So, no mask mandate now & it’s wet & cold & guess where maskless people are? Hint:Not outside! #bcpoli 6/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

And this: O. “Singing, chanting & reading can propel infected material significant distances & ⬆️ risk of transmission, particularly among groups who are in close contact in an inside place over period of time” And this is fine now w/o masks? #bcpoli 7/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

And this: P. “Properly worn, face coverings are 1 measure that h/b shown to suppress transmission & to reduce the risk of contracting #COVID19 in both the vaccinated & unvaccinated.” Gee, it really sounds like masks protect people! And now? #bcpoli 8/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

P con’t:“The non-wearing of masks by people gathering indoors, some who might be infected & some of whom might be susceptible to infection, interferes w/suppression of the virus” So, no one s/b maskless indoors & put vulnerable people at risk? #bcpoli 9/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

And Dr. Henry:“I have reason to believe & do believe that (a) presence of public, operators, workers, school staff/students, post-secondary staff/students, worship service participants & indoor events w/o wearing face coverings constitutes HEALTH HAZARD under PH Act”#bcpoli 10/14

And: (b) in order to mitigate risk of transmission arising from presence of public, operators, workers, school staff/students, post-secondary staff/students, worship participants & indoor events w/o face coverings, it’s necessary for me to exercise powers of PH Act”#bcpoli 11/14

So, tell me, #DrHenry @adriandix @jjhorgan what happened on March 10th/22 that suddenly made the maskless transmission of #COVID19 any less of a HEALTH HAZARD under the PH Act in all the above indoor public places? #bcpoli 12/14 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…

And it’s curious there’s no PH Order attempting to corroborate the abrupt verbal Mar 10/22 mask mandate lifting announcement. Instead, it seems there’s overwhelming unequivocal evidence endorsed by Dr.Henry herself as to why it should NOT be lifted. #CovidIsNotOver #bcpoli 13/14

Lastly, here’s ALL BC PH Orders, they’re more of the same tho…Dr.Henry et al endorsing all our evidence-based pleas underscoring need for ⬆️ #COVID19 safety that are all completely ignored/contradicted/discounted during pressers/interviews. #bcpoli /FIN www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/he…

And lastly (again), after reading the posts above wrt Dr. Henry’s official written acknowledgments of ongoing #COVID19 risks justifying mask mandate, let’s compare these stmts to what she actually says out loud Mar 10/22, shall we? Thx @frozen as always for imp video! ⬇️ #bcpoli
