2/ “Protect our Province BC calls for the immediate resignation of Dr. Henry and a review of the entire leadership of BC Public Health, who have participated either directly or indirectly in the deception with regards to Covid infection risks in schools.”
4/ “It comes after a string of just as damaging investigations, including the under-reporting of COVID related deaths in BC & the publication of the @CDCofBC seroprevalence study, co-authored by Dr. Bonnie Henry.”
5/ (Aside - regarding @CDCofBC’s seroprevalence study, in which Dr. Henry was a co-author while SIMULTANEOUSLY being in charge of provincial pandemic precautions, ⬇️ is @SafeSchoolsBC’s thread on that.
Seeing DBH’s emails this week re: #bced transmission makes it even worse.)
6/ “By cherry-picking information that only supported the message she wanted the public to hear, Dr. Henry has violated the trust of the people of BC and cannot be viewed as a credible leader anymore. She must either step down or be removed,” says @DrFiliatrault@Protect_BC.
7/ “As Jennifer Heighton @jheighton3 of Safe Schools Coalition BC @SafeSchoolsBC states, ‘students, educators, their families & communities were needlessly put at risk with some paying with their health, while others paid with their lives. Leaders need to be accountable.’” #bced
8/ “@Protect_BC demands that the incoming premier, @Dave_Eby, distinguish himself as a person of integrity who is committed to the health & safety of the people of BC by immediately replacing both the PHO & Minister of Health, @adriandix.”
9/ “Minister Dix allowed BC school children to be infected under his watch, a sharp contrast to Germany’s Health Minister Karl Lauterbach’s statement:”
10/ “Protect Our Province demands that Premier Eby creates a Multidisciplinary Independent Science Table whose recommendations cannot be ignored by politicians without public justification.”
11/ “We call on Minister of Education @JM_Whiteside to immediately implement COVID safety protocols in all BC schools as @Protect_BC suggested in its Open Letter of August 29th, 2022. This will prevent more school children, educators and families from being needlessly harmed.”
12/END
“Public Health in BC @CDCofBC has failed to protect our future generation. To assess the full magnitude of this failure will ultimately require an independent review. This should not stop urgent action from taking place now. We call on @bcndp to act today.”
2/ 2 of the authors, Dr. Jennifer Grant & Dr. Martha Fulford, are from the #UrgencyOfNormal group. It advocates for schools to be open without protections, saying Omicron is mild, even though it hospitalized & killed more kids in 8 mo than 2 years prior!
3/ The Urgency of Normal “toolkit” has been criticized by experts before.
"It's just simply, here is the conclusion we've come to, and here is the argument we would use in favor of this conclusion. And I think it's flawed ... start to finish," says @MarkWKlineMD1.
2) A court challenge in Alberta for the govt to reveal justifications for removing mask protections in schools, revealed that AB gov’s OWN DATA showed that masks reduce COVID-19 cases in schools & in community (less hospitalizations too), yet gov removed masks anyway!
