Well well well... look who's suddenly trying to get on the right side of history. π
I guess we're officially allowed to consider SARS2 as a plausible hypothesis.... Rather than "exclude" it or dismiss it as "unlikely" before serology data was available.
I'm also glad the experts have now given us permission to #ReleaseTheSerology
Hey.. maybe the topic was "acrimonious", because you all dismissed COVID out of the gates and blamed Adenovirus. Then when a hepatologist laid out a counter argument, you all piled on... accused him of "clout chasing" and called him a "tedious ass". π€·πΌββοΈ
Speaking of "clout chasing"... In 2 weeks we went from "we have nothing to do with this, other experts are looking into it" to "here's a BMJ editorial on the subject" π§

Like, literally, the same people that obstructed HCW's from accessing N95s during peak COVID, who signed an expert witness statement in a legal affidavit AGAINST THE NURSES/N95s, have now released a study claiming they were right... pheeeww! π
For 2.5 years, Bonnie Henry (BC PHO) obstructed proper mitigations in schools (respirators, ventilation, HEPA filters) and downplayed transmission risk to children and transmission in schools.
This forced an #InfectionMandate on the non-consenting children of BC.
While this #InfectionMandate ripped through schools, Bonnie Henry carefully studied her unwitting subjects.
From the safety of her home office, she tallied the number of children her policies successfully infected. She watched the sero-prevalence tick higher, with a grin.
2/6
She documented the findings of her grand, population-wide experiment in a preprint and submitted to all the top journals to boost her h-index.
The vast majority of the PH/ID MD COVID minimizers, were/are fervent Airborne-deniers.
They over-emphasized hand hygiene and sowed doubt in masks, HEPA filters and respirators.
I'm sure they were doling out this bad advice to close family and friends too.
1/5
I'm sure they were following this advice in their own lives. Shunning HEPA filters and respirators for gaping surgical masks.
Given this, how many of them likely got infected? How many times? How many onward transmissions did they fail to stop to and amongst family/friends?
2/5
How does one grapple with this? What do you tell yourself, your family, your friends who are anxious about their infection?
You contrive 2 truths: 1) Infection is inevitable 2) Infection is harmless
You then repeatedly state those truths, to reassure yourself and them.
3/5
How many Canadians heard one of his countless interviews on @cbcradio (where he declared the pandemic over, the virus mild, COVID mitigations useless, and infection to be inevitable/desired).. and then went on to catch/spread the virus to someone who died or was debilitated?
2/4
Why is the Medical Profession OK with this?
He actually said the quiet part out loud in June 2020.
He's pushing an #InfectionMandate for every man, woman and unvaccinated child.
