🧵 1/ So, @CDCofBC remember the good old days before all this PR spin & politicization of viruses when you would w/o ambiguity & careful omission report weekly virus info incl *Influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks in schools*? Let’s dig in to this, shall we?#bcpoli
2/ So, here’s blast from past re:3 yrs ago via your 2019-20 weekly report when news out of Wuhan was just unraveling on pg 10 but you were still speaking truth on pg 9 that “Four school Influenza-like Illness (ILI) outbreaks have been reported.” #bced bccdc.ca/resource-galle… BCCDC weekly influenza report dated week 1 of 2020. It inclu
3/ Okay & let’s travel back further to 4 yrs ago when BC kids were on cusp of Winter Break. Here’s your 2018 Influenza info for Dec 9-15 & on pg 10 you report that “24 Influenza-like Illness school outbreaks h/b reported.”This lines up w/pg 3 ⬆️#s in BCCH! bccdc.ca/resource-galle… BCCDC weekly influenza report for Dec9-15th, 2018 that plain
4/ So, #DrHenry, as per your BCCDC, it sounds like BC schools were always a “risky place” for spreading viruses like influenza. And based on the elevated harm to children this season, minus all spin & politics, it’s probably best to #BringBackMasks to protect them now isn’t it?
5/ BTW, these reports above are mere snapshots of what was always reported in the pre-pandemic days. All past “Influenza Surveillance Reports” can be found here (No FOI required): bccdc.ca/health-profess…

🧵1/ So, I wrote this letter to @KasariGovender:
"Dear Commissioner,
In your Mar16/22 letter to Dr. Henry, you stated that it's 'part of your statutory responsibility to act as an impartial advocate for the promotion & protection of HR in BC.'" #bcpoli
2/ "You also stated that lifting the mask mandate will do 'disproportionate harm to those already marginalized' & that 'parents who may be vulnerable w/b faced w/difficult decision to send their children to schools w/increased risk of transmission.'”#bced
3/ "Since then, situation has only worsened re: compounding impact of mask removal on vulnerable people, incl those parents & now their children. In fact, all children are high risk now, making those children w/underlying cond, med complex needs & disabilities even more at risk."

🧵“It's incredible the learnings & support that we're providing BCians struggling w/Long term effects of Covid. Plus, in time, we'll all benefit from data gathered by our researchers to address this in the future” Tim Manning,PHSA Chair, Apr/22
Oh, they ALL know about #LongCovid
2/ For context, this quote was spoken immediately following this special presentation about BC’s Post Covid-19 Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network (PC-ICCN) at the PHSA’s April 28/22 Open Board Meeting. mediasite.phsa.ca/Mediasite/Play…
3/ Okay, 1st just who is the PHSA? Well, they work w/ the BC Health Ministry, 5 regional & FN HAs "to bring health care closer to where BC residents live, to promote health, manage chronic illness...& improve access to evidence-informed practice...” phsa.ca/about/who-we-a…

1/ 🧵 @bcndp @BCNDPCaucus @Dave_Eby BC’s youth & upcoming voters are listening & taking notes.

This powerful letter from a 15-year old to their MLA today reflects that. Now, it’s your turn to listen & take notes⬇️
2/ “Around the world, we have seen democracy under attack, followed by renewed vows to defend it. Threats to democracy have infiltrated the west too, a place perceived on the world stage as a safe haven for democratic principles.”
3/ “In B.C, the recent decision to disqualify Anjali Appadurai is evidence that the NDP gov’t does not support true democratic processes. Hamish Telford, a political scientist at University of Fraser Valley, raised important questions on this topic regarding the leadership race.”

Like so many, my family h/b impacted by nationwide PH negligence. So, after surviving a (mostly) maskless flight, I’m spending precious time w/loved one.
Thx for reading my Covid19 research investigations. Don’t know when I’ll return, so here’s descending order recap⬇️

PHAC’s Covid19 Immunity Task Force Sept19/22 seminar w/BCCDC’s Krajden as panelist, speaking in GBD ideological terms i.e:“need to return to normalcy,” “draconian”measures like “lockdowns” harm society, exposure to viruses necessary to build immunity…Thread & transcript ⬇️
3/10
Btw-All Krajden’s GBD talking points above are unquestioningly published in this 9th edition of CITF’s “Research Results & Implications seminar” even though it appears that there’s no cited research data to substantiate his words. covid19immunitytaskforce.ca/wp-content/upl…

1/🧵 Warning!⚠️
This Sept/19/22 CTIF Research seminar:“The Eighth Wave-Challenges & Predictions for an Uncertain Future,” contains GBD terminology & questionable advice from 1 panelist which would just be outrageous if it wasn’t so dangerous. Guess who⬇️ Credentials of CITF Seminar Panelists:  David Buckeridge, MD
2/ Yep, Mel Krajden.
And pls remember while reading that the CITF’s mandate is to “catalyze, support, fund & harmonize knowledge on SARS-COV-2 immunity for..decision-makers to inform their efforts to protect Cdns & minimize the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.”#bcpoli #canpoli Photo of Covid19 Immunity Task Force Mandate: “Catalyze, s

“It’s time to return to normalcy for our traumatized population…”

“Focusing on Covid morbidity/mortality is bad b/c…to protect older Cdns has come at high cost to our youth” (sorry, olds) Mel Krajden’s first presentation slide with photo of elder

Ahead of #DrHenry & @adriandix's Fall "respiratory viruses" pressor, pls note @GovCanHealth CITF-funded nation-wide studies conclude:

1) "Omicron is mild" is dangerous myth; 10s of 1000s of Cdns hosp in serious cond & 1000s died, as many as in 2 preceding waves. #bcpoli 1/🧵
2) Omicron wave caused unprecedented rise in Cdn infection-acquired seroprevalence

3) Re: @stats_canada <45 experienced high excess mortality.

4) In data derived largely from blood donors, highest levels of seropositivity due to infection were in young adults (17-24) 2/
5) Although kids aren't incl in most Cdn serosurveys, residual sera surveys from Man, Que & BC reported high infection rates. #bced

6) Young people at-risk b/c:
- Participation in group settings/school/university
- Front-line service jobs
- Close living situations #bcpoli 3/
