Not one fucking word from any quoted health expert on cleaning classroom air.
Yes, talk about vaccines, ofc that's important.
But there's something else we could talk about here: a measure that protects everyone but doesn't trigger endless debates on the choice to vaccinate.

Naming Dr. Henry to the Order of Canada spits in the face of every serious scientist, healthcare worker, public health practitioner, and victim of COVID.
She botched SARS-CoV-1, botched the Seven Oaks investigation, and botched SARS-CoV-2. She has so much blood on her hands.
This is *vile*.

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.

As a society we also need to think about why it's OK to exclude kids from even the limited protections offered by occupational health and safety rules, even in places like schools where they are forced to be present. Kids should be *more* protected than an adult working in a steel mill, not less.

School closures weren’t a plot by “elites” to punish the poor. The alternative was mass disabling and killing children and their families. The idea that workers should have had no choice but to send their kids into unsafe conditions is not a “pro-worker” stance.

Lockdowns didn’t create inequality. Capital did. Capital gutted public supports, forced workers into unsafe conditions, and treated mass death as an acceptable cost of doing business. The same forces pushing this “laptop class” narrative were fighting to end unemployment relief.

Anyone else noticing the surge of desperate efforts to retroactively manufacture ambiguity from those responsible for basic failures throughout the pandemic?
It's simple. Aerosol transmission was known to be a major and serous risk since day 1, requiring N95s etc.
Dr. Henry failed to convey that.

TFW you give a talk about rewriting history in which you, wait for it, rewrite some history.
Dr. Henry claims she's always been nuanced about value of masks and about how COVID is spread, but the record says otherwise.
