Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "Thanks for nothing, @VanIslandHealth . Stop telling kids and parents the transmission risk from COVID-19 in schools is low. Stop telling kids and parents that COVID-19 is spread by "droplets." And stop trying to 'casedemic' your way out of this. Do you jobs. #bcpoli #bced"

Title: [Comment on Dr. Bonnie Henry's presence at first pediatric vaccinations]

URL: https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1465425977329139720/

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "A few questions. This should have been the scene in BC LAST WEEK. Also, remember when BC wouldn't allow vaccine selfies? When did that stop being a thing? Finally, why does everything have to be about Dr. Henry? Why must she always make herself the focus? #bcpoli #bced / Is this really part of Henry's job description? Attending the warm fuzzy things to generate goodwill towards her personal brand? And as others have pointed out, why is she wearing an inadequate mask? BC kids were forced to wait another week so that Henry could have her photo op? / People want to believe DBH is a kind person who cares about kids. But where was her kindness when my son was being made fun of by his classmates because he wore a mask to protect his vulnerable dad? Where was her kindness when he pleaded for a mask mandate in K-3 this August?"

Title: [Doctor's office still has phone appointments only because "we would rather not die of COVID"]

URL: https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1511554181311569921/

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "I booked an in-person appointment with my GP—the office still has phone appointments only—and asked the scheduler why, since health officials say we should get back to normal, they still had strict protocols in place? She said: "Because we would rather not die of COVID." Quite."

Title: "A day in Canadian healthcare."

URL: https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1518988271610564608/

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "A day in Canadian healthcare. Last November, I experienced a sudden onset of unexplained tremors (internal and external). I'm 42. I contacted my GP, who told me to wait and see. 6 weeks later, the tremors continued to worsen, and my GP made a referral to a neurologist. / 3mo. later, no neuro appointment received, I followed up. My GP said she would expedite the appointment, and order an MRI. She also said she would see me in her office to take a look. After much back-and-forth with the scheduler, I was finally able to book an in-person appt. / Which brings me to yesterday. I arrived at my GP's office, and was immediately told by the door person to don a surgical mask in place of my new N95, or to wear one over it. In April 2022. Every staff member and doc in the clinic was wearing a baggy blue. In April 2022. / I came home in disbelief, only to encounter this excellent if depressing piece of reporting by @brish_ti . Vancouver Island hospitals are so slammed with COVID patients that they're considering moving some patients to hotel rooms to recover. In April 2022. https://twitter.com/brish_ti/status/1518740421756604419?t=01JNzZc1FDLSBXD8rX53Rg&s=19 / Yesterday was also the date of my head MRI. I arrived at Nanaimo's NRGH and was greeted by hand sanitizer stations and baggy blue masks. In my entire time there, I didn't see a single doctor, nurse, patient, visitor, or staff member wearing a respirator. Not one. In April 2022. / The MRI tech offered me a baggy blue, but I explained that I was wearing a new N95 with nose piece removed (taped to obtain a proper seal). She responded, and I kid you not, "but if it's sealed how will you be able to breathe?" In April 2022. / So here we are, more than 2 years into a global pandemic caused by an airborne pathogen, and British Columbia's entire healthcare apparatus remains less well kitted than a transit bus in Rome. https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1517900806556569600?t=4NDST90xtzCzKQOfbY3hyQ&s=19 / If you're wondering how we got here, it's because the people in charge of setting our masking policies aren't really in favour of masks, and have never been seen in or recommended N95s. / These health officials believe vaccines are "silver bullets," and insist on stubbornly trying to prove the point while Canadian hospitals are overwhelmed. https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1367579475387375616?t=raKuqspOACLKzCyMmbm6BQ&s=19 / My advice? Follow my son's lead—not mask skeptics—and wear a quality, well-fitting respirator."

URL: https://twitter.com/i/status/1466902250010267648/

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "In contrast, Dr. Forrest, an ICU doctor in Nanaimo, paints a much grimmer picture. During a recent interview with @Protect_BC , he says his ICU continues to be "essentially overwhelmed," with many HCWs close to burnout. As long as case numbers are high, ICU capacity is in danger."

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "Dr. Reka Gustafson, a public health official in Canada, wrongly believes that: 1) Covid isn't stressing our healthcare system 2) Masks cause harm 3) Avoiding covid is bad for your health 4) Most people in hospital who test positive aren't there from covid, only with it."
