"The Public Health Agency denied or downgraded fact that children could be infectious, develop severe disease, or drive spread of infection in the population; while their internal emails indicate their aim to use children to spread infection in society"

"The Public Health Agency was systematically incorrect in their risk assessments, & ignored scientific evidence on suppression strategies, airborne transmission, pre-symptomatic & asymptomatic spread, face masks, children & COVID-19, “long-COVID”" #bcpoli

"'Precautionary principle’ ... has been ignored, since a “wait-and-see” passive approach has been followed. Sweden never aimed at suppressing transmission of infection; only to not overwhelm healthcare"

A small thread: How @WorksafeBC Is Not Making Work Safe: Yet One More Ass-Backwards, Probably Corrupt, Definitely Incompetent BC Agency

An interesting little bit of history on @WorkSafeBC

timescolonist.com/bc-news/worksa…
@WorksfeBC was prepared for a pandemic. Oh, but not a REAL pandemic. More like a Vancouver Stock Exchange Pump-n-Dump Classic Pandemic. Or a Flip-This-House Pandemic. Yay us - #bcpoli can launder your money, your science, and your pandemic preparedness.

Ok, so our preparedness sucked. It's clear our ethics are lacking. So, can we at least CHEAT? Copy off the smart kid in class?

Pandemic Lessons:

Covid AND lots of other viruses are airborne.
Public health has been doing doing almost nothing to stop flu deaths for years.
Doctors must be convicted of murder b4 losing license. Carry on.
Downplaying & denial are internationally interwoven in disturbing ways
Pandemic lessons, cont'd

Public health & IPAC have been quietly consolidating power to point they can overrule colleagues w/much greater clinical & specialty expertise.

IPAC needs to be handed over (or at least 50-50) - water treatment, wastewater treatment, air treatment.
Pandemic lessons, cont'd

There is little daylight between Horgan and Kenney & Ford.

The BC CDC is shockingly (and in some cases, purposely) bad at science ... and UBC would rather prop it up than correct it.

ATTENTION: PARENTS (🧵)

If your child is attending a school with insufficient aerosol mitigations, here is a brief letter you can use to withdraw consent for certain activities. Copy freely!

Epidemic / Pandemic / Endemic. I looked it up.

Short🧵

I don't see how autumn wave 4 spreading thru kids in multi-regions N Amer & Eur AND poorly vaxxed regions rest of globe will be "Endemic".

Way too early to call this.

.
EPIDEMIC: unexpected increase in number of disease cases in a specific geographical area.

Notably, an epidemic disease doesn't necessarily have to be contagious. For example, West Nile fever and the rapid increase in obesity rates are also considered epidemics

/2 of 4
.@WHO declares PANDEMIC when disease’s growth is exponential. Each day cases grow more than day prior.

Has nothing to do with virology, population immunity, or disease severity. It means a virus covers a wide area, affecting several countries and populations.

"COVID-19, in ~ 1 year, killed twice as many children as influenza does most years, and hundreds more in the same interval of time, despite painstaking efforts to prevent infection. This easily makes COVID-19 a leading cause of death in children."
medpagetoday.com/opinion/second…
"All estimates [for pediatric hospitalizations] far exceed the number of hospitalizations during the pre-vaccine period for several vaccine-preventable diseases on the childhood vaccination schedule."

Even if we allow the sketchy hair-splitting of with vs of #COVID19.
Don't forget MIS-C when considering not protecting kids from #COVID19.
