There is a need for an independent investigation into @VanIslandHealth practices. They have zero authority in disciplining MDs -- that's the role of the @cpsbc_ca . They are making a healthcare crisis worse, esp. rurally. Many have left and more will leave @adriandix @bcpoli

@adriandix @Pam_Alexis_ @Fraserhealth I am a frontline physician, and care for covid+ patients directly on most days. My last booster was in the Fall 2021, over 7 months ago. I donโ€™t qualify for another booster. I donโ€™t feel safe, and I live in fear of passing on the virus to my family, to my patients.

I think @RobShaw_BC and @keithbaldrey are dubious re: @Protect_BC because itโ€™s reminding them they havenโ€™t been doing their jobs for the past 20 months: uncovering our PHO & the @bcndp โ€™s lies and question their management of this pandemic. #DoYourJob

I predict once we out of this 4th wave (itโ€™ll be a long and deadly one tho due to our PHO policies) they will announce that the pandemic is over and lift masks etc. Thereโ€™s a poor understanding in our PHOโ€™s office how pandemic actually work, 1/2

Just when I think our award-winning QUACK of a PHO can't do any worse, she hits a new low. It's been over 3 years of lower and lower expectations that get surpassed at every presser. It makes me sick to live in this province. Figuratively and literally. What a shame.

Not only has everyone moved on and living it up as if it were 2019, I can sense that me with my mask on is more like a hinderance, an unwelcome reminder. I've officially become the weirdo.

@ChristinaDub79 @conorwinkle @DrMaireadDB @vicmidnightsun @roinnslainte @HSELive @hpscireland @CMOIreland Without data we will never know, but one thing is clear: regulatory bodies, Coronerโ€™s offices and governments are NOT looking i.e theyโ€™re not standardizing covid pcr testing for any unexplained sudden deaths. I naively presumed this was getting done but not surprised it isnโ€™t.

@NEWS1130 Tell me of a jurisdiction anywhere in the world, any time in history, that has been able to control a pandemic with vaccine passports. Even vaxxed you can catch/transmit. Itโ€™s only a false sense of security and the appearance that our gvt knows what theyโ€™re doing

@lucindasan15671 She doing the autopsy. Thatโ€™s her job. She just started adding covid tests to autopsies for sudden, unexplained deaths. NO direction from any regulatory body or gvt. Just something she started doing when cause of death wasnโ€™t obvious. And cause of death is generally obvious.

@tmprowell @kirkmurphy As an MD I stopped attending maskless gatherings with colleagues, esp. if over a meal, over 2 years ago. I never understood their cavalier attitude โ€” they know it is #airborne , that #LongCovid is concerning, and yet they donโ€™t seem to want to change their behavior. Why?

Covid could definitely mutate into something much worse, for ex. with a fatality rate of MERS (~35% of infected will die), or Ebola (~50 to 90% will die). This pandemic is not only far from over, Iโ€™m afraid the worst is still ahead. We need a global #COVIDzero approach asap

Booked my third booster for next week. Itโ€™s truly a blessing, and I am forever grateful, but I canโ€™t help but think of the majority of humans on this planet who havenโ€™t even had their first shot. โ€˜Panโ€™ in pandemic means โ€˜everyoneโ€™

When they announce the number of deaths, they donโ€™t tell us the age, do they? Itโ€™s BS that you want to preserve privacy. Just saying x children vs adults, how is that identifying anybody? Itโ€™sonly because the @bcndp knows that a childโ€™s untimely death would bother people more.

Schools, by their very nature, have always been hot beds for communicable diseases. Apparently just our multi-award winning PHO doesnโ€™t know that. Will anyone give this QUACK yet another award?

Today, Dr. Bonnie Henry said schools "aren't the focus of where we're seeing transmission of SARS-CoV-2." Why is she lying? She co-authored a peer reviewed study last year that demonstrated the opposite: This virus transmits easier in our schools than in any other setting.

Experts have been saying for almost 2 years to: not rely solely on vaccines and passports as effective means of controlling / stopping this pandemic; that air treatment indoors needs to be optimized in schools and hospitals; that the general population should wear 1/2

I know weโ€™re focused on #Omicron right now, and the worst of this wave is yet to come, but there are growing concerns that it is so widespread that it will once again mutate into a truly concerning variant. Folks, stay home if you can. Reduce social contacts as much as possible.

Yes. True numbers. Not curated. Itโ€™s not normal, nor acceptable, that Iโ€™m finding out from A PATIENT that all elective surgeries at my hospital have been canceled. The lack of communication and info sharing to BCers and HCWs is outrageous

Mandating masks without explaining why they are effective, and why it mattered, has been a big mistake of our gvts. Mandates come and go, knowledge stays. #CovidIsntOver #MasksInHealthcare

35 years old female, extremely healthy and fit, marathon runner. Got a mild case of covid last year. Now extremely short of breath, canโ€™t speak in full sentences. For each idiot who tells me their mild case and full recovery I will tell the story of someone who didnโ€™t do well.

I donโ€™t get it. You must be fully vaccinated before starting med school, and it was never a point of contention. If youโ€™re anti-vaxx or canโ€™t be vaxxed, healthcare is not for you
