BC authorities are trying to rewrite history by claiming that BC schools were magically safe during the #COVID19 pandemic year.
There are a lot of holes in their claims.
Here to set the record straight-a thread for #bced, class of 20-21.

There's no way someone who feels this way about PPE should be a Public Health Officer.

Since 2020 I have been arguing that Covid harms T cells, the cells responsible for controlling viruses
I am going to go over this article in the Daily Mail that poses it as a "new" hypothesis by @_lukechafer xitter.cf/fitterhappierAJ/status…

Excellent thread. ⬇️
1/ Oof. Flu taking off like a rocket in #bcpoli (as predicted, but who needs prevention from @Josie_Osborne amirite?!).
Flu A test ⬆️~2X in 1 wk, from 7.4% to 13.8%
COVID going down, RSV up a bit, but still LOTS of both around.
#FluIsAirborne. Get your vax asap AND #MaskUp.
ALT screengrab from https://bccdc.shinyapps.io/respiratory_pathogen_characterization/. Graphics of test pos charts (LOL, no axes labeled) showing Flu A at 13.8%, up 6.4%; Flu B 0.3%, up 0.1%; RSV 3.5%, up 0.7%; SARS-CoV-2 (COVID) 3.8%, down 0.4%

« Cleaning the air in hospitals and having more of a culture of mask wearing among healthcare staff makes a massive difference to infection control around viruses »

New pipeline to BC’s north coast: It’s appalling to see @MarkJCarney & @liberal_party completely ignore their own commitments to the Great Bear Sea Project Finance for Permanence initiative, between the Feds, BC Prov gov’t & 17+ First Nations.
Thread 🧵:

7) @Dave_Eby & everyone protesting against @MarkJCarney & @ABDanielleSmith’s northern coast pipeline MOA are correct in wanting to preserve the delicate ecosystems of BC’s coast.
Our answer to the MOA: NEVER.

How can anyone think it's a good idea to sail oil tankers through a body of water named the Hecate Strait?
Go ahead, brave an infamous, ship-wrecking cauldron of a sea named after combative necromancy in Shakespeare
Does Carney know anything about BC at all?

Sorry.
Building a pipeline without Indigenous and BC agreement is a territorial insult.
Not to mention there's nothing 'green' about a pipeline - the rest is total spin.
AND it makes zero financial sense as the world moves away from fossil fuels.
MASSIVE FAIL

Statement from B.C. Coastal First Nations: “There is no technology that can clean up an oil spill at sea or in a salmon river, and there is nothing in this MOU that overrides our inherent constitutional authority." #cdnpoli #abpoli #bcpoli
