I don't know who needs to hear this, but a "mild covid infection" that results in chronic, lifelong disability is not—and will never be—a mild covid infection.

@yield2yetis I love experts and competency. I don't love unearned loyalty and trust.

@frozen The situation it changing - ffs stop the fear mongering and hatred of experts and general smearing.
We don't need covid divisions again.
Maybe you do, the rest of us don't.

Two days ago, Dr. Bonnie Henry claimed that proper precautions were followed, and that the air crew who transported the infected hantavirus person or persons was at no risk.
We now know that Henry's reassurances were false.

This is concerning Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) flew 4 Canadians home from the MV Hondius on May 10th According to this article, airline crew were given only surgical masks & gloves to protect themselves

@trying2help @InspiredAquaCA She's not exactly batting 1.000, is she?

Early in the pandemic, I tried to convince people that a key public health official, Dr. Bonnie Henry, bizarrely but truly despises masks as a tool to prevent the spread of disease.
But over the weekend she let her guard down and said the quiet part out loud. h/t @InspiredAquaCA

And here's the second installment in the ongoing Dr. Bonnie Henry mask series. HENRY VS HENRY: on whether masks protect

@frozen @1goodtern Im surprised Bonnie didn’t just toss ‘em a bar of soap and tell them to wash their hands!

Given the focus (finally) on Bonnie Henry and her... rhetoric...
Reupping these two TikTok videos, attempting to 'Brandolini' her/her actions.
Her (mis)statements about masks/PPE, how viruses spread, etc., aren't new.
But, very glad more people are starting to pay attention.

@JackieSeidel1 @frozen @sasswashere @InspiredAquaCA She’s been doing this for a while. BC’s wildfire season in 2017 was horrendous. Skies were thick with smoke all summer. People were looking for guidance from public health…this is what we got…I remember hearing her on the radio stating “masks trap particulate, you breathe in”…
English
English
@frozen @sasswashere @InspiredAquaCA So bizarre. And irresponsible. She’s putting that into people’s heads.
English
@Coopm1Coopman @TheTrueJasonM @sasswashere @InspiredAquaCA Correct. Dr. Bonnie Henry made masks about the culture of others instead of the safety of all of us.
English
@TheTrueJasonM @sasswashere @frozen @InspiredAquaCA That was a racist statement directed at the Asian community

@emilygraymd_mph @chantz_y @frozen No.
But I'm giggling (darkly) at how this is getting attention again.
Like. Whew. Crackerjack team we have here in BC. Cracker.Jack. 😂😭
And, nothing has changed.
English
@recalibrate_com @keetmuise Indeed. Dr. Henry's like a bright shining beacon of what not do during a disease outbreak.
English
@frozen @keetmuise I just knew it would be EXACTLY like this - supremely mishandled and misrepresented. We are on our own to protect our health and well being. Good info exists if you look for it. Sadly, most people prefer living in ignorance.
English
@frozen @keetmuise Lying through her teeth and making sh*t up as usual. 🙃
English
This kind of mixed messaging contributed significantly to the mistrust of medical professionals and scientists. And it was completely avoidable.
Our politicians and our MOHs failed us, yet we refuse to learn the lessons.

PSA, we have just under 20 ECMO machines in BC. That is not alot.

Andes hantavirus may not become a full blown pandemic, but the officials in charge seem to be doing their damnedest (through their professional incompetence) to allow it to become one.
English
Precisely. In early 2020, basically every ME sufferer I know was predicting this, myself included.
We genuinely saw it coming before we watched it arrive with profound sadness.
Olenka Sayko@coco_chatel
Don’t ever let anyone in public health tell you there was no way to know Long COVID would come. People with pre-COVID ME predicted this from the earliest days of the pandemic. But it was business as usual ignoring the existed of PAIS as medicine/govt had done for decades prior.

@MamaToronto @1goodtern This history is important. The book was published after SARS1 (which we know is airborne), then rushed into reprint in spring 2020 so that she could profit off global suffering during SARS2 (which we suspected as airborne). She's the epidemiological equivalent of a war profiteer.

@DavosSafety @BarryHunt008 @sameo416 @crwequine 😫🤬
@CPHO_Canada @jossreimer should be fired over this. I'm sorry, but at this point, ignorance of all the scientists yelling "it's aerosols! Wear an N95" plus the precautionary principle is inexcusable. Ditto Bonnie Henry
