It's interesting how often tone-policing is the first response to legitimate criticism. Am I angry at Bonnie Henry and the terrible impact she's had on Canada's Public Health response to the pandemic? You betcha. I genuinely try to use measured language when tweeting but...
Her decision to drop virtually all covid protections in British Columbia, thereby justifying other PH officials doing the same, is utterly indefensible. People are literally dying because she refuses to acknowledge she's wrong. #CovidIsntOver #covidisairborne #longcovidisreal...

Henry's justifications for her decisions haven't made sense from the start. I'm done being polite in my criticism of her. Whatever's motivating her is deeply unhealthy. It's behaviour I've only witnessed in toxically narcissistic or psychopathic individuals...
Still, I might have chosen more diplomatic language if I wasn't in so much pain from a broken wrist, for which I delayed seeking treatment because I feared contracting covid in hospital. Given high levels of in-hospital transmission, that fear was justified....
However, having just returned from surgery to repair the break, I'm happy to report that cont'd masking reqts & excellent air quality at the QE II reassured me the risk associated with day surgery was minimal. I'll still test & monitor for symptoms for 7-10 days because...
I have vulnerable people in my life I'm trying to protect from a level 3 biohazard. Kudos to NSHA for maintaining minimum protections for now. I hope that continues until new vaccines and better therapeutics become available...
