Tl;DR Very important thread by @HallwayOrchard with big shout out to @PoPNB_kindness for uncovering through RTI/FOI, this damning evidence
against possibly all provincial CMOH/PHO. Complete failure to follow Precautionary Principle in the face of mounting #LongCovid evidence
Meet 🇨🇦 Chief Science Advisor (CSA), Dr. Mona Nemer @ChiefSciCan Do read below what her role is. Chief Science Advisor of Canada. The Office of the Chief Sci
@ChiefSciCan has been paying close attention to the evolving #Covid science
First with this:
And then focusing on #LongCovid and the accumulating, scientific evidence surrounding #LongCovid and its impact on Canadians.
Uncovered by @PoPNB_kindness is a letter sent by @LongCovidCanada to Dr. Tam and all provincial CMHO/PHO on June 30, 2020. Recognize any BC name? protectnb.ca/rti/Long%20Hau… List of letter recipients, all provincial Public Health offi
The letter made very valid requests for research into #LongCovid along with the provision of medical support and care for affected individuals. There was also a call for greater public awareness of the potential for prolonged symptoms after #COVID19. Continuation of the June 30, 2020 letter by Covid Longhauler
Starting in July 2020, many reports were sent by the Office of @ChiefSciCan to provincial CMOH/PHO keeping them appraised of #LongCovid evolving science. Make no mistake, the Science Advisory Committee email list include Dr. Bonnie Henry and BC Deputy Provincial Health Officer Long list of names on the Science Advisory Committee Email l

Having attended almost all BC government #COVID19 Update, this amount of information on #LongCovid provides a stark contrast with the number of times, BC PHO has uttered the word #LongCovid.
Looking at Public Health Agency of Canada, public health ethics framework, this stood out.

"Precaution" was nowhere to be found in BC's #COVID19 Ethical Decision-Making Framework.

All & all, damning evidence that BC PH was well aware of #LongCovid, its harm & evolving scientific evidence. #bcpoli & @CDCofBC chose not to warn & protect BCians of longterm risk of #COVID19 infection & re-infections. #Vaccine diminish risk, don't eliminate #LongCovid risk
#bcpoli @CDCofBC and BC PHO failed and are continuing to fail to protect British Columbians against #COVID19 & #LongCovid

"We cannot risk further harm to children."

NEW: Please read this open letter co-written by @Protect_BC's @DrFiliatraultby and other signatories on the threat of a tripledemic this fall. Thanks to @BurnabyNOW_News for running this.

#bcpoliburnabynow.com/opinion/opinio…
"If provincial authorities don’t catch up to the best practice preventative measures being taken elsewhere, we are on track for a disruptive and deadly repeat of last fall."

Recall that the number of children who died during last fall's tripledemic jumped considerably.
"Disruption of education, severe disease, chronic long-term health damage & death resulted, much of which could have been minimized with preventative measures. If what we did last year to protect Canadian children failed, why would we get better results doing the same in 2023?"

This study has some stunning findings: even among those who had COVID but no symptoms, there is tissue damage.
It suggests that we will see massive amounts of chronic diseases among people who had COVID infections in the future.

This why Dr. Akiko Iwasaki has said we need to treat COVID as soon as possible with anti-viral agents such as Paxlovid.

5,000 Deaths may have been averted during the Omicron wave in the Winter of 2022 if more Paxlovid had been used.

Treatment with Metformin, a common diabetic drug resulted in a “42% reduction in [COVID] ER visits/hospitalizations/death through 14 days; a 58% reduction in hospitalizations/death through 28 days, and a 42% reduction in Long COVID through 10 months.”

Another study found that Metformin reduced the risk of developing long COVID by 41 percent among people who are overweight and those with obesity.

This is great news for BC because most people in BC do no qualify for the anti-viral COVID medication, Paxlovid, which can lower the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID as well as decrease the incidence of Long COVID.

While other provinces expanded their Paxlovid criteria to save lives, BC's May 2023 Paxlovid guidelines remain the most restrictive in Canada with no change to the age restriction of 70 for vaccinated, non-immunocompromised and non-indigenous people.

About 4,800 US lives could have been saved during the winter 2021-22 SARS-CoV-2 Omicron wave if 5% of COVID-19 patients had taken the antiviral drug Paxlovid, estimates a modeling study published in the March 2023 JAMA Health Forum.

2/11
cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/5000-…
Why age 70? Age 50 is the inflection point when there is a significantly increased incidence of death and hospitalizations from a COVID infection. In BC one of the highest age groups for ICU admissions during Omicron has been the age 60-69 category.
