Yet another disturbing report on BC’s handling of #COVID19.

"During what officials called a ‘daunting’ spike in school exposures, the PHO maintained that spring break drove infections, not in-school transmission."

Lack of transparency, inaccessible data, misleading information, downplaying risks - these have been trends we have seen over and over again.

In fact studies found "BC’s COVID death toll could be double what was reported"

As cases rise, an increasingly cumbersome system has left people struggling to get access to vaccine boosters, essentially the only public health tool that this government is still providing.

As the toll of #LongCovid grows with each wave of this virus, here in BC we hear almost nothing from gov’t about the long-term risks from infection.

“Statistics Canada show that 1.4 million Canadians have lingering COVID symptoms"

To keep people safe in our schools and communities we need the @bcndp to provide guidance and transparency to the public now.

And they need to stop sticking to a story despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
