Short 🧵:

Science-following #bced activists are right more than @CDCofBC, many times.

We predicted:
✅delta wave during BC’s “Hug Day” summer
✅removing mask protections during BA.2/5 would result in massive infection
✅schools are community hubs & need protections

Unlike ⬇️
2/ Now @CDCofBC claims mass infection is good for you because it gives “robust hybrid immunity”. Not proven.

They conveniently ignore #LongCovid, ⬆️heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, seizures.

And reinfections. @CDCofBC minimizing is ❌

Thread on reinfection risks, with links:
3/ @CDCofBC is also ignoring new variants on the horizon (they’ve done this EVERY time!).⬇️

Mass infection allows the virus the opportunity to mutate, & mutate it has. That fact has NEVER been explained to the BC public. One reason lowering transmission should be top priority.
4/ Are we just another experiment to @CDCofBC? Are they playing god? Their “on-high, let’s observe the peons below as we adjust experimental parameters” attitude is chilling & deserves to be called out.

#BCMedia Investigation needed! No more free pass to @CDCofBC.
5/ #BCMedia A good place to start an investigation of @CDCofBC’s seroprevalence study & it’s harms is this thread ⬇️, by Canadian epidemiologist @FurnessColin.

Suggest interviewing him too; he’s kept up with the research on kids, schools & airborne protections.
#CovidIsntOver
6/ END
Not only is @CDCofBC performing ethically questionable population-wide experiments, then spinning the results to fit their own hypothesis (& ignoring caveats), they are actively OBSTRUCTING safety measures to protect those in schools.

@bcndp still has NOT replied to⬇️

Thread 🧵:
A tale of 2 🇨🇦airports & flights, Vancouver (YVR) & Calgary (YYC), using a CO2 monitor to measure air quality.

@yvrairport @FlyYYC

Here’s a handy graphic for reference: (H/T @zerocovidthai) Infographic picture. Title:...
2/ @yvrairport requires masks in the terminal, unless eating or drinking. Large signs are posted by entry doors to remind people of this rule.

The vast majority of people are complying. (Proves that universal masking policies DO WORK & “personal choice” ones don’t).

@bcndp? Photo shows a large sign. ...
3/ Vancouver Int’l Airport has 2 terminals, domestic & int’l. I’m in the domestic one. CO2 levels are pretty good, in various places throughout. Reasonably busy time.

One area to potentially avoid: restaurant where it’s crowded & everyone is unmasked to eat.

Tale of 2 restaurants:
Cactus Club Café & Earl’s Restaurant, Station Square, Burnaby, BC.

Right beside each other, newly-built restaurants, both busy.

#bcpoli #COVIDisAirborne

A thread: 🧵 Infographic picture. Title: Safer indoor air for workplaces.
2/
 Station Square, Burnaby:
Cactus Club - has glass floor-ceiling walls that open. Except they were closed. Outside temp 20C. Non-chalant “no” when asked if they would open walls, even partially. CO2 levels 850-880 ppm.

Patio area was closed, too, so indoors was it.😬

Grade: C- Photo shows interior of Cactus Club Cafe, Station Square, Bu
3/ Meanwhile…
Earl’s Restaurant, next door.
Heated, outdoor patio w/ roof overhead, open air. Plus the indoor part of the restaurant has windows that open; they were opened on this day.

CO2 levels on patio 450-480 ppm.

Let’s talk about union advocacy & politics.

How much does the government party-in-power affect unions? Turns out, a lot.
Case in point, Ontario Fed of Labour vs. BC Fed of Labour, on #COVID19. @OFLabour @bcfed

Worker safety ought to be forefront. Let’s see…

A thread🧵
#bcpoli
2/ Ontario Fed of Labour has researched & advocated for #COVIDisAirborne policies for workers for 2 years now.

Check out their website. Posted in early June, 2021!

“Follow the science. Enforce the law. Protect workers.”
First words? #COVIDisAirborne!!

ofl.ca/the-science-is…
3/ More from @OFLabour on #COVIDisAirborne safety:

06/21“But it’s not about, ‘We told you so’. It’s about, we told you to protect workers from potential airborne transmission of COVID-19. Why haven’t you listened to so many voices, including the labour movement for over a yr?”

1/ Thoughts on the emergency #bced COVID-19 briefing, called by #DrBonnieHenry & @JM_Whiteside on Oct. 1, 2021, after 3 major districts mandated masks for K-Gr. 3…

…A thread. 🧵
2/ First, K-12 masks were mandated for #bced.

So, *now* #DrHenry & @JM_Whiteside say “we need to keep younger children from getting infected until they are vaccinated”?!

You are only realizing this NOW? With #delta dominant?

Parents & teachers knew, even before this chart. ⬇️
3/ Ventilation still not addressed.
Despite:
- crowded classes (no distancing)
- lunch indoors (no masks)
- transmissible #delta
- K-Gr.6 unvaxxed
- 2-dose breakthroughs

Will it be another month or 2 of 📈 before action?

Reminder: Ont doing better; spent 2x BC & has HEPA!🧵⬇️

There are many problems with @CDCofBC testing & data collection for #Covid19BC. Especially for #bced.

A thread:
1/ Exposures listed on Health Authority websites don’t match reality. Many listings are missing cases or aren’t listed at all.

Example 1:
Example 2:
Missing exposures/clusters in @CDCofBC Health Authority websites is particularly bad in @VCHhealthcare.

Let’s talk about ventilation for #bced schools. And @bcndp funding for it.

Ontario vs. BC, a case study.

@JM_Whiteside @jjhorgan @selinarobinson:
Are you going to let a Conservative gov’t show you up as misers? Or will @bcndp at least match their efforts? Read on.

A thread:
First, planning.

Ontario’s Ministry of Education has a *13 page* ventilation document, complete with funding, expectations & checklists.

@bcndp Maybe use this as a guide? ⬇️

efis.fma.csc.gov.on.ca/faab/Memos/B20…
Whereas BC has no ventilation document at all. Just a page in their “Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings”, August 24, 2021.
Link:
www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/edu…

Compare the language used, Ontario to BC. Whose is closer to #COVIDisAirborne science?🤯
