🧵:
Dr. Henry is lying when saying illness rates in BC schools is “in line with what we normally see…”

ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Never has #bced seen 30-40%+ students absent in this many BC classes. Never had this many staff shortages.

BC has the data in MyEdBC database. Publish it!
2/ A sampling of what MANY #bced parents & staff are reporting; and this is happening all over…
3/ @BCschoolCovid fields emails & texts from parents & teachers from all over BC. Here is what they are seeing (in a reply to @realreporter’s tweet above):
4/ Here’s another one; a #bced school with over 40% absentee rate:
5/ And another #bced school with high absenteeism:
6/ Meanwhile, 2 days *before* Dr. Henry’s interview, Victoria General Hospital paediatric ICU was on diversion to BCCH. DBH knew this yet continues to downplay the critical virus situation for BC children.

She knew this before her presser on Nov. 16, too.
7/ And just 1 week after DBH’s presser & interview where she claims BC child illness levels are within normal limits (false), @PennyDaflos reports that Surrey Memorial Hospital’s paediatric ER is abnormally busy, to extreme levels:
8/ @PennyDaflos also discovers that BC’s reported stats on hospital beds include those *that aren’t staffed & therefore are empty*, giving false impressions as to actual hospital capacity for pediatric patients.

Important to know when @adriandix states hospital stats. #bcpoli
9/ And before @CDCofBC claims that PCR testing shows low rates of illness, @brish_ti @CapitalDailyVic investigation uncovers extremely low testing rates, with even those in hospital & those sent by family docs, sent away with no tests. Even kids w/ fever for 4 or 5 days straight!
10/END
Don’t let BC officials, intent on “riding out” the tripledemic waves in #bced schools, convince otherwise. They just don’t want to put safety measures in.

Reminder to #bcpoli: If you’d listened to @SafeSchoolsBC in August (& prior), maybe you would have avoided this mess?
11/ Add on: the full interview with Dr. Bonnie Henry is here. Start at 54:00.

November 16, 2022, the same day as her presser w/ @adriandix where they claimed mask mandates weren’t necessary.

Now that a second pediatric ER is set up at @BCChildrensHosp, is it time? @Dave_Eby

🧵:
Egregious that Dr. Henry & @CDCofBC deliberately denied school safety by saying, “We aren’t SEEING widespread transmission” in #bced.

Of course-They had poor data & tried to manufacture it.

@Dave_Eby-Dix & DBH are liabilities.

And 😷& 🌬in schools now!

SSCBC endorses ⬇️:
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.”

If @nationalpost editors cared about society, they would NOT platform these authors, known COVID minimizers.

The article is misinformation. It ignores #LongCovidKids, post-COVID risks, education access for vulnerable families & multiple studies.

nationalpost.com/opinion/opinio…
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.

🧵:
Provinces DID NOT follow “duty of care” when removing universal masking policies in schools.

1) Latest revelations from NB:

Request for justification reveals a single study, later debunked. Study funded by right-wing libertarian group w/ ties to big oil & GBD.😱

See 🧵⬇️:
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!

Corrupt?🤔
3) That’s 2 provinces shown to use sloppy, cherry-picked studies from dubious sources or making decisions despite data showing otherwise.

Political, not evidence-based.

*All* 🇨🇦provinces who tossed mask protections look guilty of bowing to political pressure, then.
