WHOA…😱
Parents/staff in Vancouver & other districts in @VCHhealthcare - did you know that ventilation guidance has changed? Check out @VSB39’s Ventilation in Schools webpage. (Link below)

More explanation in next tweets…a thread🧵…

vsb.bc.ca/page/5017/vent… 2/ Previously, even late last school year, a “HEPA not necessary” document was linked on @VSB39 website.

As late as June 1, 2023, it was still there. (See reply to Michael Schwandt, VCH Health Officer)

Now it’s gone.

Screenshot of what used to be there:

COVID-19 Information for Schools in VCH (Vancouver Coastal Health logo) Title: VENTILATION AND PORTABLE AIR CLEANERS Heading: Is the virus that causes COVID-19 spread through ventilation systems? Why are portable air cleaners, such as HEPA filtration devices, not necessary in schools? Main text: COVID-19 is mainly spread by liquid droplets that come out of the mouth and nose when a person with the virus coughs, sneezes, or talks. Larger droplets are heavier, and they usually fall to the ground within two meters. Smaller droplets, also known as aerosols, are lighter and they can float in th...
(Continued alt text from first image) As a result, portable air cleaners (e.g. HEPA) are not required under the provincial Public Health Communicable Disease Guidance for K-12 Schools. As part of the measures currently in place to keep schools safe, school personnel regularly check the mechanical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in schools to ensure that they are working properly. Like most common respiratory viruses, COVID-19 spreads primarily through respiratory droplet transmission within a short range. Most commonly, students and staff who test positive for CO...

More #CleanAir revolution…

Oregon Health Authority is buying 3500 *2nd* air purifiers for classrooms! Yes, that’s right. Portland already has 1 HEPA purifier in each learning space. Now they are adding 2, for spaces that need to get closer to 5-6 ACH.

@Dave_Eby @adriandix? 2/ Let’s backtrack a bit for a history of #CleanAir in Portland Public Schools.

August 2021 (Delta wave, just prior to 2nd yr of in-person schooling): PPS receives engineering reports re: iAQ of each of their schools.

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…

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!

🧵:
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?🤔
