Exactly 3 weeks ago today (April 28 2023) our group met for the first time to stage a die-in with 50 people at the office of BC Health Minister @adriandix in Vancouver to protest the removal of universal masking in healthcare. #DoNoHarmBC #KeepMasksInHealthcare #MaskWeekOfAction

Prior to this protest none of us had never met, now we are allies and co-activists. What prompted us to do this was this tweet by @ElaineCarol3:

A lot has happened since our 1st protest on April 28 just 3 weeks ago. It seems some folks in charge of "healthcare" got fired up. Like the 💩 #misinformation by @VCHhealthcare's CMHO Dr Patricia Daly on @CBCVancouver (as debunked 💯 by @SKGandhiMD):

Daly is so egregiously wrong (and knowingly lying?) here that @Protect_BC is calling for her removal: protectbc.ca/remove-dr-daly/

A few days after our protest, and Daly's CBC fiasco, we get Dr Reka "Wrecking Ball" Gustafson (aka #TheGrimReka aka CMHO & VP of Population and Public Health at #IslandHealthBC) who lays down some fertile 🐴💩 at the @NanaimoBulletin

But hey don't worry, the folks in @adriandix's office have things under control! They have big ideas for public health! Like… sending cancer patients from BC 🇨🇦 across the border to the US 🇺🇸 for healthcare.

But wait! We haven't heard yet from the reigning queen herself, Dr Bonnie #KillingMeSoftly Henry! Mother where art thou? Nothing new? Oh well... if we don't have anything fresh, how about something rotten? From a few months ago: theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…

Anyway COV|D is still here, it's still killing and hospitalizing and disabling. It's still making kids sick. So keep pushing back! Have a great weekend. Stay safe. #DoNoHarmBC #KeepMasksInHealthcare #MaskWeekOfAction
