So, building on this study that @littleann4ever investigated (inc. noting Henry waived ethics on her own paper AGAIN), I decided to make a quick search of Google Scholar as well.
Buckle up. There's something rotten in the state of #bcpoli & Bonnie Henry's office... 🧵
Ethics: Sero-survey was authorized by PHO & approved by Clinical Research Ethics Board of @UBC. ONLY PAPER WITH ETHICS REVIEW. JUL 2020
Funding: In part by Michael Smith Foundation
Consent: No mention.
Ethics: Authorized by Bonnie Henry as PHO & exempt from ethics review
Funding: Just part of their generous taxpayer funded jobs I guess
Consent: "I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained" 🧐
Bonnie Henry did not weasel her way in as co-author. But she was of course in charge of policies that determined infection rates. That allowed data collection on kids & COVID.
9/ BC & QC teens. Exposed w/o consent. Vaxxed w/experimental dose spacing w/o consent. Research careers advanced.
11/ There's one more on kids. K to 12. But it deserves multiple posts. And I'm out of time for now.
12/ Okay, here is BC CDC / VCH research study published on kids.
You will note the team includes Van Coastal Health, BC Children's Hospital, UBC School of Pop'n & Public Health, UBC Math (really?!), UBC Med - Experimental Medicine (🎯), Peds, and VSB.
This project was reviewed by the BC Children’s and Women’s Research Ethics Board and deemed a QA/QI activity; it was therefore ➡️exempted from formal ethical review ⬅️but received a privacy impact assessment (no. PIA 2021-40).
14/ Now, let's look at the funding:
@COVIDimmunityTF (srsly - who the eff is reviewing applications there?!)
And an acknowledgement of salary support from @BCCHF.
15/ And, now. Consent. Because the study subjects were children in kindergarten to grade 12. No data without infecting them on purpose, amirite?
"Informed consent was obtained from all participants or their guardians."
Informed consent. Informed. Yet, look how this paper starts
16/ This study of COVID in kids in VSB looked at asymptomatic children April to June in VSB, within Vancouver Coastal Health. Yet, in March, here's what VCH was telling parents:
Do not seek testing if you have no symptoms. Tell me how this study makes sense?
16/ So, BC gang is publishing studies on BC kids & COVID. Without ethical review. Claiming guardians provided informed consent. While they 1) denied asymptomatic transmission was issue & strongly discouraged testing 2) denied #COVIDisAirborne 3) stated no biggie if kids infected.
18/ I would like to find time to compare case counts in this study w/ sit reports.
Anyway, you get big picture. Sketchy policies from PHO --> complicit BC CDC & UBC & BCCH research sometimes even with Bonnie Henry as co-author, with ethics waived & missing or faux consent ....
19/ ... and this dodgy complicit research is either funded by the BC research money shell-game or by external funders at federal level with shockingly poor standards and due diligence processes.

Wouldn't have anything to do with pediatric #InfectionMandate, would it? Wherein ~ 1 in 5 #COVID19 cases in Canada were in kids (who were the least tested)?
How many now have serious diabetes, cardiac, organ inflammation, psychiatric issues? #MorallyBankrupt
Okay, so I checked the wastewater again, and it was vastly different. Excluding the latest data, I zoomed again on the same time frame. Upward trends last week are now downward? @GovCanHealth can you please explain?!
I heard back (thanks @GovCanHealth for being speedy & thorough 💕).
Re: discrepancies TL:DR data error & correction
Samples collected by Metro Van & analysed by BCCDC &National Microbiology Laboratory
Winnipeg. BCCDC and NML have slightly different methods (🤔). Periodic checks to see how methods are tracking.
"Dr Henry - there have been numerous research reports lately flagging very serious outcomes from COVID infection in children & pregnant people. Can you comment on the following studies?"
Looking forward to Apr 12 @ashraenews webinar with @WBahnfleth & moderator @healthyheating. We know that #COVIDisAirborne, and BC schools (all buildings really) can do more to keep us safe. Ask your district to register facilities, OH&S, legal, HR & other staff! #bced#bcpoli
I'll look at BC Legislature, BC CDC, Vancouver Coastal Health, UBC, and Vancouver & Surrey School Districts.
Let's investigate!
How will BC measure up wrt understanding and implementing @ashraenews COVID guidance?
BC Legislature: "The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads in several ways, but most commonly through airborne transmission" Wow! It says airborne. Measures are poor.
"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
