The Barer Stoddart report was shameful in its lack of evidence - and was taken up by provincial health ministers across the country. It’s not just our history - it continues to inform ministers who feel that doctors aren’t essential for safe patient care.
The suffering of patients doesn’t matter.

A reminder that the sketchy BC public health event today may well be intended as a (publicly funded) PR exercise to puff up Dr Henry's "leadership" CV in preparation for another run at Dr. Tam's job. Last time the Liberals were heading into an election, but now our votes won't count for a while so 🤷
I am hearing credible rumblings that Dr. Henry is currently in France for four months, learning French in order to finally qualify to fail upwards and replace Dr. Tam as Canada's CMOH. One of the few people in the world to have botched two different SARS-CoV outbreaks (plus the Seven Oaks thing).
🤦♂️
🤦♂️
On March 11, 2020, when much of the world was screaming for things to be locked down, Dr. Henry, herself no stranger to pandemics, told the country and the world that "we have very low risk."
Time was lost, and because of this so were lives.
There's never been an accounting of these failures.
