Instead, she chose to portray masks as a basically worthless viral mitigation tool, and in so doing, hurt the cause of public health today.
Dr. Bonnie Henry on 2023/01/13: "Wearing masks is not going to make a tremendous difference in the transmission of these viruses."
Public health has lost the plot.

I agree. Parents and others have warned for months that Dr. Henry isn't taking the safety of young children seriously.
Today, she offered irrefutable proof of that fact.

Viral dose matters.
So things like HEPA filters and respirators that reduce the inhaled viral dose are key, while things like handwashing and hand sanitizer that don't reduce the inhaled viral dose are not.
Internalize this. Fight for clean indoor air.

Albert Ko et al. Data show that immunity induced by vaccines, prior infection or both (hybrid) protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection when viral exposure is low to moderate (1/)

Dr. Henry, March 30, 2023: "But what we have seen is a decrease in the number of people with Long Covid."
In no universe could this statement accurately reflect reality. Covid is still everywhere. The idea that
#LongCovid
numbers are decreasing is pure fiction.

I find it odd that
@VCHhealthcare
is actively discouraging doctors who test positive from contacting their patients and telling them about it. I know BCPH has decided to ignore Omicron, but to actively prevent doctors from protecting their patients seems needlessly cruel.

I suspect that in the coming years there will be a wave of class-action lawsuits focused on failures to prevent what is most definitively a predictable and preventable public health catastrophe.
File this one under the "what did they know and when did they know it" category.

And she DARES to call it kindness. No, just no. Putting parents, friends, seniors, and kids at further risk isn't kindness; it's calculated cruelty, all for the mistaken belief that "normal" can exist amidst a dangerous pandemic.

Today,
@jjhorgan
lied about BC's poor pediatric vaccination rate, was called out on the lie, tried to claim that it didn't matter because BC isn't seeing "a lot of outbreaks" in K-12 (or that if it is, they're "mild"), and then told kids to wear a mask if they're uncomfortable.
