Last week, I was told there was a “cold” virus spreading in my Mom’s memory care facility. And that she was sick. And now, of course, it’s been confirmed that the “cold” was actually C19 & it’s still spreading like wildfire. But that’s not the worst thing that happened… You see, a nurse came into my Mom’s room to take her temperature. But as has happened frequently in the past, my Mom got scared. Only this time my Mom backed away too quickly, falling onto the arm of a chair, landing on the floor, crying out in pain.

Case in point: After 1st C19 infection, my kind/independent Mom began exhibiting lack of empathy/apathy. 2+ infections later, dramatic behaviour changes. MRI showed “atrophy disproportionately marked in right to temporal lobe.” Now she’s most difficult resident in 24hr facility:( MRI summary: Multiple sm areas of increased signal intensity in frontal parietal & posterior temporal lobe white matter consistent w/mild changes of leukoaraiosis. Disproportionately marked in right cerebral hemi, particularly right to temporal lobe. Pattern=possible form of FTD.

On Apr 20, 2023, @PHSAofBC Board Chair, Tim Manning read out inquiry from a member of public about patient health & legal ramifications of allowing sick HCWs to return to work. Pls note this mtg took place week after Dr. Henry rescinded HC mandatory masking. Here’s full Q & A:
🧵 Q: “In light of the PH advice incl from regional health authorities under your jurisdiction & your employee, Dr. Henry, that HCWs do not need to test for C19, may go to work w/C19 & may expose patients to C19, is the board aware that the @CMPAmembers (Cdn Med Protective Assoc)…”

Since Oct 6/23, there’s new BC PH orders requiring HC/residential care workers to provide vax status proof. And upon review, here’s my takeaways: 1) Henry’s C19 PH emergency’s still ongoing, 2) it’s rife with disinfo/justifications 3) & it’s all about shifting blame.
🧵 Thread. First, here’s section confirming that Henry is still very much enjoying her emergency powers. It also confirms her admissions that C19 still poses serious PH threat. Since w/o these declarations by her, she would have no justification for a continued BC C19 PH emergency: Epidemiology of C19 A. On March 17, 2020, I provided notice under section 52 (2) of the PH Act that the transmission of the infectious agent SARS-CoV-2, which has caused cases, clusters & outbreaks of a serious communicable disease known as COVID-19 among the population of the Province of BC, constitutes a regional event as defined in section 51 of the Public Health Act, and I continue to believe that the criteria described in section 52 (2) of the PH Act continue to be met for the following reasons: (a) In view of the history & ongoing mutation of SARS-CoV-2, & uncertainty which exists abo...

Hey, remember back in Nov, 2020 when Dr. Henry continued to refuse to follow other provinces & issue a PH order to mandate masks in public spaces? Well, I found an F.O.I that sheds light on her behind the scenes resistance & finger-pointing. #bcpoli
🧵 A thread… 1st, a reminder of Henry & PR team’s Nov16/20 Op Ed: “An order can never replace our personal commitment. We need to be responsible for our own actions-that is how we all pull together. I wear a mask & I expect each of you who *can* to wear one too.” bc.ctvnews.ca/dr-bonnie-henr…

🧵 1/ Re: #PaxlovidBC
Here’s eligibility form that BC physicians must fill out for patients. And guess what? At bottom of page, there’s glimmer of hope! If deemed ineligible, patients are invited into a pan-Cdn C19 study! www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…
NOTE: B.C. residents who do not meet the above eligibility criteria for Paxlovid may be eligible to participate in a non-profit COVID-19 treatment study. Visit https://cantreatcovid.org for details. 2/ The study’s called CanTreatCovid. And even tho 49 & under must meet eligibility criteria, if you’re 50+, you qualify regardless! But hurry b/c you must be symptomatic w/i last 5 days. And participation is *voluntary* even tho it’s your last option! cantreatcovid.org

Oh boy! On the heels of their communicable disease K-12 guidance-where C19 is only mentioned once re: vaccination-the BCCDC has just updated their “C19 illness in Children” online section. And here’s the pendulum of truths, myths & lies… 2/
“C19 will continue to circulate in our population. When C19 spreads in our communities, it can also spread in settings such as schools, childcare facilities, & other places where people get together.”

Okay, I did another dive into info unveiled in @PoPNB_kindness @HallwayOrchard Right to Info response. This time re: all known about LC in kids by BC seroprevalence study’s principal investigator, Danuta Skowronski. All the while infections rising & #bced schools unsafe. 2/ Specifically, re: email list revealed by PoPNB, there’s evidence Skowronski rec'd 19 PCC reports from Cda’s Office of the Chief Science Officer btwn July, 2021 & July, 2022. Inclusive of 340 LC studies, numerous articles & fact summaries. The reports: protectnb.ca/2848.html#ocso

With Sept right around the corner, VOCs on the rise & the scarcity of BC family doctors, here's a little rundown on the updated help available if (when) you find yourself in the *debilitated with LC* camp. Spoiler alert: You're on your own! #bcpoli
Here we go...🧵 1/ So, this PHSA webpage still asks: "Are you a B.C. resident struggling w/PC symptoms & looking for help?" And it still reveals LC truths contrary to PH messaging. But there's now a detailed pathway to help you navigate your self-help journey… 2/ phsa.ca/health-info/po…

🧵 1/ Since the carefully crafted walls of secrecy about all that was known about LC/PCC by PH/Gov’t officials are hopefully starting to crack, I thought I’d share, in order, the pieces I’ve written to date on this subject as it relates to B.C…
#bcpoli 2/ As far back as Spring 2020, B.C was ahead of the pack when it came to access to real-time updated info about LC & PC multi-system damage via it’s PC Recovery Clinics & it’s one of a kind PC Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network. My 1st piece:

Back in May/23, I set my sights on Open Gov't Cda & sifted thru previously submitted “Access to Info” requests. I narrowed my search to LC/PCC, Special Advisory Committee on C19 & generally known info early on.

The following 🧵 shines light on 1st response re: LC/PCC & PHAC. Before diving in, I must say that the Feds don't make previously completed ATI requests easy to access. The only info immediately viewable is the org name, date & request summary. Then an "informal request" form must be completed/submitted. open.canada.ca/en/search/ati

1/ It’s clear economics permeated Cda’s pandemic response early on. But what were behind the scenes influences driving 'living w/C19' policies? To shed some light, here's a few McKinsey-inspired Figures/footnotes from the 2020 Industry Strategy Council report.
🧵Another thread. 2/ 1st up, under "Cda's economic outlook remains uncertain" sec, a McKinsey survey of global executives showed that out of 9 scenarios, "our most likely economic outlook will entail localized virus resurgence & slow long-term growth." ised-isde.canada.ca/site/innovatio…
 McKinsey survey of global executives in 2,079 businesses.   Out of 9 different economic scenarios ranging from broad failure of PH interventions to rapid & effective control of the virus, as well as the knock-on effects & economic policy responses - the results show that the most likely economic outlook will entail localized virus resurgence & slow long term growth.   Specifically, out of the 9 scenarios, the highest # of executives (70%) chose Scenario #1: “Rapid decline, followed by several small resurgences on a moderate trend upward”

So, remember when I said the Special Advisory Committee on C19 was “the force behind our Cdn pro-infection train?" Well, now I think the "Industry Strategy Council" established by @ISED_CA in May, 2020 was the force that drove them all. Here's the who, what & why…
🧵A thread. On May 8, 2020, Cda’s Minister of Innovation, Science & Economic Dev’t announced that this new council will serve as “advisory board to assess the scope & depth of C19’s impact on industries & inform gov’t about specific sectoral pressures.” canada.ca/en/innovation-…

🧵🙏@SKGandhiMD for raising these truths about amLC & PC multi-system damage as per B.C F.O.I. & N.B. Right to Info responses.
🙏@SoniaFurstenau for taking Min. Dix to task on all that he, his Gov’t & Dr. Henry knew -since April, 2020 - & did not share w/the public. 🙏@SoniaFurstenau : “…Not once was LC mentioned in the public presentations…in 3 years…”

So, I did some more digging.
The Special Advisory Committee on #COVID19-the force behind our federal/provincial/territorial pro-infection pandemic train since Jan/2020-is indeed a tangled web w/an overlapping power hierarchy held by very few.
🧵A thread.. To establish the SAC players & their roles, we must take trips down this rabbit hole that is otherwise known as the 65 page Gov't of Canada "F/P/T PH Response Plan for Biological Events, Appendix D" (I will be citing this alot): canada.ca/en/public-heal…

🧵1/ On Oct 13th, 2020, Reka Gustafson, in her new role as PHSA VP of PH/Wellness & Deputy PHO, delivered a keynote speech to all BCCDC staff.

Is it ideology or politics driving this train?
Is it an info session or an indoctrination?

I'll let you be the judge. #bcpoli 2/ While reading, here's some hot button topics to watch for:
-Focused protection (eugenics)
-Economy over lives
-Mild illness in youth & "healthy" adults
-Weaponization of mental health
-BC's own Pandemic
-Control of PH messaging
-Hubris
Okay, now for the key excerpts⬇️

🧵1/ So, back on Feb 4th 2020, BCCDC had their 1st pandemic briefing & Mel Krajden said: “Children have less developed immune systems so they shed respiratory viruses longer. And they are less symptomatic than adults. So understanding that dynamic is important.” #bcpoli 2/ And yet, as we all know, these words were swiftly swept under the rug of ideology, politics & spin to ensure #bced kids stayed in school & parents went to work.

Here’s Krajden reading from his slide during his presentation: Photo of Mel Krajden speaking into a microphone reading from

🧵1/ On Jan4th Penny Daflos interviewed Dr.Henry. Responses incl. gaslighting, mistruths & run-on sentences w/endings that contradict their beginnings.

The following is my attempt to wade thru & counter each w/evidence-based facts. #bpoli

Here's the Q & A gist of it… 2/ Q #1 "…XBB.1.5 is making alot of people nervous…what is your perspective…about the data you’re seeing?"

A: "We’re watching…we have quite a robust WGS..still small %, not seeing rapid take-off like...U.S...it's concern…but at the end of the day it's still Omicron."

🧵 1/ It’s become quite apparent re: complete lack of media coverage that likely only these 4 (& those they chose to share it with) were privy to this 2nd letter dated Apr12/22 from HRC Govender: Dr. Henry herself w/CCs to @adriandix & 2 DPHOs. #bcpoli bchumanrights.ca/wp-content/upl… 2/ What happened? Well, on the newly updated HRC “Key Issues: Covid-19” Sec, it incl this link to “Discrimination Media Release” page that was last updated on Mar28/22.
