There is no such thing as an intelligent report on increasing school absences due to chronic illness and mental health issues that does not lead with a discussion of the out-of-control virus that causes chronic illness and mental health issues.

Very much so. I have yet to see any serious explanation of what a defence against charges under Westray would even look like.
"Yeah, but we really didn't want it to be true " doesn't strike me as a particularly strong argument.

And of course there's also s217.1 of the criminal code of Canada.
It'll be fun to see hospital IPAC leads, medical directors of infection control etc try to explain how they're not violating that. Their best hope is probably the Chewbacca Defence.

Keep in mind, we could have already advanced so much in this field if, for political reasons, mRNA vaccines were not severely attacked over the past 5 years. We are closer than ever to a cure for #MultipleSclerosis, and that involves preventing #EBV from damaging the brain.
