If Evidence Based Medicine has a poster child, it's the 2015 Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control study claiming N95s interfere with breathing in pregnant women.
Here's their setup, which they described as "simulating the actual wearing of an N95 respirator".
The RCT "gold standard" 🤣

"Canadians deserve a transparent accounting of why so many lack a general practitioner; why ERs are collapsing under the weight of preventable conditions; why provinces failed to expand system capacity to match long-forecasted demographics, and most importantly, who is driving the collapse."
Hospitals across Canada are closing their ERs because there aren't enough doctors to run them. Millions don’t have a doctor. Millions more can’t get an appointment.
It didn’t used to be this way. Turns out it wasn’t an accident.

This is absolutely true.
I don't know about other countries, but public health experts here minimized this the same way they did COVID.
It is as if they think their job is to keep the public calm rather than to inform them.

This was clearly the trajectory we were on in the Spring.
We could see this coming.
Rather than ring the alarm bells, too many PH officials jumped on every opportunity to minimize this, even last month here in Ontario.
It’s shameful.

This is a severe indictment of public health in Canada. We have lost our status as a country that has eliminated measles. We held this status since 1998 & we allowed ourselves to fail.
This is huge reputational damage to Canada & has placed our children at risk from a serious viral infection.

What we are seeing is a replay of the surrender on Covid protections because it was going to impact the wealth class in a way that would make it harder to accrue wealth without consequences.
Liberals already made the choice to kill millions to maintain the wealth class status quo.

The ongoing pandemic of Covid-19 has become the most extensive cover-up in human history. Authorities have ceased nearly all testing, tracking, and reporting, in an attempt to hide countless instances of infection, illness, and mortality resulting from the uncontrolled spread of Covid-19.

Why would Infection Prevention and Control not want to know who is asymptomatic? Ignoring someone who is infectious, symptomatic or not, is not preventing and controlling infections. It is denial.
Ignoring asymptomatic infections and denying airborne transmission is not what I expect from people who claim to be experts following the science.
Conveniently, the announcement also included talking points. 1: "the BCCDC recommends testing only for symptomatic people when a positive result would impact treatment or care (e.g. the person is at risk of more severe disease...)" 15/?

We were never told to wear ffp2/3 respirators. We were told to wear gappy surgical FRSM masks, for an airborne virus. We were also told we could remove them to dine out in a shared air space, of course people caught COVID. We should have been told to wear ffp2/N95 masks and medical staff wear ffp3.🧵
It clarifies the legal status both of Surgical Masks and Respiratory Protective Equipment (eg FFP3, reusables, powered hoods). It blows away the myth contained in IPC Manuals and many other places by people who would have us believe FRSMs protect us against Covid-19, flu (etc)

Of course, money is a huge issue and we seek to get the most out of every £ spent.
Of course COVID and flu waves would be far worse without it.

3. Vax 4 vulnerable groups is vital, but they're also the folks that are least likely to make an ideal response.
This means that the lesser aspects of vax efficacy, e.g. reduced transmission, are going to struggle to make an impact.
We then measure VE, and find it to be poor...🤦♂️
