1/7🧵Wow. This is nuts! But it reminded me about something I discovered during one of my rabbit-hole investigations. Did you know that the @bctf donated $ to the @BCCDCFoundation? (their “primary partner” is BC Centre for Disease Control):#bced#bcpolibccdcfoundation.org
2/7 @BCCDCFoundation:“By supporting [us] you’re helping put evidence into action on some of BC’s most pressing PH issues. In partnership w/our donors, we focus on solutions that address root causes so we can help keep the [BC] population healthy.#bcpoliinterland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLin…
3/7 @BCCDCFoundation “PH Heros”page:“We want to extend a special acknowledgement to our Allies, Ambassadors, Champions & Visionaries–the individuals, businesses & orgs that have given ⬆️ $5,000..it’s through your support that we achieve excellence.”#bcpolibccdcfoundation.org/our-donors/
4/7 And here’s a screenshot from the “Allies” ($5,000–$24,999.99 Donors) section. Appropriately named category for the @bctf to be included in, don’t you think? #bced#bcpolibccdcfoundation.org/our-donors/
5/7 And among @BCCDCFoundation’s proud achievements during #COVID19 (thanks to generous donors!) is the BC COVID-19 SPEAK Survey. You know, the one that weaponized kids mental health & sent both #bced students & teachers back into unsafe schools?:#bcpolibccdcfoundation.org/our-role-in-he…
6/7 Anyway, the knowledge that @bctf is on list of *Allied* donors w/proceeds likely funding very same survey that helped inflict so much unnecessary physical suffering & overwhelming stress on so many #bced teachers/families is…well, I’ll let you finish that sentence.#bcpoli
7/7 BTW,@BCCDCFoundation’s *Emerg Covid19 Relief Fund* is still on: “As we continue to support..response efforts, we must turn our minds to recovery. You can help our communities see brighter days ahead by donating & help us shape story of BC’s success.” interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblin…
Should say: “Emergency Covid Response Fund”
And just want to add these following points here too:
2/5 Right up until #DrHenry’s Face-coverings PH Order (above) was replaced with her Mar10th Repeal order, THIS was her official stance in writing about the importance of #bced masking:#bcpoli
3/5 & THESE were #DrHenry’s *thinly veiled politically motivated flimsy* “reasons” to rescind mask mandate on Mar10th (whereupon she gears up for her honorary degree & award circuit)…Anyway, from health hazard to “other possible seasonal factors”:#bcpoliwww2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…
1/9🧵So, remember back when #DrHenry said she wanted to get out of the “order business?” Well, in her Mar10/22 Repeal of Face Coverings Order-like many of her PH orders-she left the door open for Regional MHOs to reinstate masks where they see fit…#bcpoliwww2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…
2/9 #DrHenry: “Recognizing that the risk differs in different regions of the prov & that MHOs are in the best position to assess local circumstances & to determine whether steps need to be taken to reduce the risk of the transmission of #COVID19…” #bcpoliwww2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…
3/9 “…this Notice does not affect the authority of a MHO to make an order requiring the wearing of face coverings in the whole or part of the geographic area of the Province for which the medical health officer is designated.”#bcpoliwww2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…
🧵1/ Well, let’s just peer into the only real window of truth to find out how BC kids are really doing so far at start of this long weekend, shall we? As of 7:45pm on Fri April 15th, the Emergency wait time at @BCChildrensHosp is 5hrs5mins. #bced#bcpoliedwaittimes.ca/WaitTimes.aspx
2/ And to put that in perspective, on this same day, Apr 15th, at this same time of 7:45pm, Ontario’s @CHEO has a current wait time of 4hrs48mins & describes it as seeing “heavy volumes” h/t @beansprouts_mom#bcpolicheo.on.ca/en/visiting-ch…
3/ Unlike @BCChildrensHosp, @CHEO incl #s waiting, specifying that #s don’t incl kids in line for triage & also clarifies some may even wait longer. With @BCChildrensHosp at an even longer wait time, the only logical conclusion is that things are just as bad or worse. #bcpoli
On Mar 29th @SoniaFurstenau pushed @adriandix to answer for HR infringements & inequitable mask mandate repeal that disproportionately impacts marginalized, vulnerable people as outlined in HRC @KasariGovender's letter to #DrHenry. h/t @RossiniTahli 🧵1/
@SoniaFurstenau sums up the exchange nicely here wrt @adriandix's deferment to #DrHenry on all #COVID19 safety matters incl. her careful decision making regarding masks while declaring that his office has upheld his gov't's anti-discriminatory mandate: 2/
So, I thought that it was time that I connect the dots about #DrHenry's contradictory stmts & beliefs of current & ongoing #COVID19 PH risks, esp wrt marginalized & clinically vulnerable groups. Here is a summary of my letter to @BCGreens@SoniaFurstenau & @bcgreencaucus...3/
Yesterday, an incredibly hardworking advocate sent compelling letter to MLA & Attorney General @Dave_Eby referencing Dr. Henry’s PH orders that states that people intermingling in indoor settings w/o face coverings constitutes Health Hazard under PH Act. Pls read...🧵1/
“I am writing to you as both a constituent & as a citizen to whom you’re responsible as Attorney General. I wish to report that several gov’t agencies, ranging from Office of PHO, every health region, every SD & every post-sec institution are in violation…” 2/
“…of various pieces of BC legislation pertaining to duties to report & duties of care w/respect to protecting the public from a Health Hazard (& federally designated airborne Risk Group 3 Bio-pathogen).” 3/
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
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…
