Infants, kids, teens, young people, young adults, middle-aged with no conditions, etc. have zero to little risk,” July 4, 2020,…when data did, in fact, show risk. “So we use them to develop herd… we want them infected.”

Sound familiar BC?

Remember when many BC kids were infected before vaccines were available to them, while Henry & the BC CDC did their covert mass infection study?
‘policy came to include vehement opposition to almost all previously accepted public health measures—…’
#BCPoli #MassInfectionStudy 2/

‘…targeted local lockdowns & social distancing, testing & contact-tracing, masking & indoor air changes’
This is exactly Henry/Gustafson/Daly.
‘any & all harm reduction merely delayed population-wide immunity. Against a backdrop of mass illness & death…’
#BCLTCDeaths #BCPoli 3/

‘…their alternative now includes failed “endemicity,”near-endless waves & variant surges, large numbers of children…sick with…COVID, & higher-than-anticipated reinfection numbers in all age groups. In short,those who supported “let it rip”…
#BCMassInfectionStrategy #BCPoli 4/

‘…gave the virus almost unencumbered freedom to transmit’
Remember trying to get a PCR test, hoarding RATs, ‘Covid is a disease of adults’, dropping masking in schools, stopping testing of asymptomatic staff in LTCs because they were ‘finding too many cases’? #BCMassInfection 5/

“They falsely pacified millions of Americans about the dangers of COVID… relentlessly minimized the virus for young people, and trashed any and all measures to limit infections in this population.”

Sound familiar BC?

“A Consistent Pattern of Minimizing Harms”

‘An insistent belief that natural immunity would lead to permanent immunity and near-zero reinfections (both claims since thoroughly discredited).’
(Remember ‘super immune’, ‘robust hybrid immunity’?)
#BCMassInfectionStrategy #BCPoli 7/

‘As Howard extrapolates in one of his book’s many zingers: “The idea that the best way to protect yourself from a virus is to get the virus is like using pregnancy as a form of contraception.”

Exactly what did Henry, Gustafson, Daly learn in med school??
#BCNonScience #BCPoli 8/

‘Mockery of “draconian countermeasures” such as lockdowns, testing, & even “excessive” interest in case numbers; all seen as hostile to, or at the least as delaying, natural immunity’
Ah yes, the unsubstantiated ‘harms’.
In BC, the interest was to hide the case numbers/deaths 9/

‘A consistently blasé attitude toward sick children’
Consistent, unrelenting minimizing in BC. Remember, BC public health officials were given warnings about long Covid dangers, including for children, almost from the start of the pandemic.
#BCMassInfectionStrategy #BCPoli 10/

“Fear of the virus” frequently asserted as worse than the virus itself. Sometimes, even as a major contributor to excess deaths.’
Yes, ‘anxiety’.
Yes, and how about BC’s excessive, excess deaths?
#BCMassInfectionStrategy #BCPoli 11/

‘A belief that COVID’s death toll was inflated and its overall threat to the nonelderly greatly exaggerated.’

Can anyone in BC say ‘was it with Covid or from Covid’?
#BCMassInfectionStrategy #BCPoli 12/

‘A gripping, cautionary tale about the real-world dangers of mainstreaming fringe ideas before turning them into federal policy, We Want Them Infected is damning, indispensable, and one-of-a-kind. It is likely to become canonical.’

This could be a book about BC.
