@sunumbral It's our #BCgovernment & #BonnieHenry to blame for removing mask mandates in medical settings. Only mandatory masking now is in clinical rooms with a doctor in hospital. All other protections for hospital patients/staff/visitors have been removed by the #eugenicist social murderer working as #BCPublicHealth officer. Our lives don't matter to these cruel jerks.
@MegaMichelle They won't do that. They won't even buy N95s so PAPR won't ever be considered. I'm tolerated but feel ostracized at work because I'm still protecting with masks, still keep asking for proactive masking - despite being shut down on that multiple times. I'm in a very tiny minority of covid cautious folks at work & in larger local community.
Unmasked plague spreaders repeat #eugenics crap from #BonnieHenry - our evil #BCPublicHealth officer. I HATE HER.
Hello Zeroes, I'm a soon-to-be parent on South Vancouver Island, BC, hoping to connect with like-minded people and resources in the area. My wife and I have been successfully COVID-safe for years, and are now trying to navigate birthing, childcare and school in a way that keeps us and our child safe going forward. Give me a follow or hit me up on Matrix (@Island_guy:zeroes.ca)!
Thank you @trendless and everyone else that maintains this space. It is still needed and so appreciated!
@chris I'm having a real hard time with Eby saying he believes in science yet allowed removal of mask mandates to happen on his watch & that goes against science. It was caving to corporate interests & conservatives driven anti-science paranoia propaganda.
#BCHealthConnectionRegistry STILL has no contact info for #BritishColumbia citizens on how long it will be for almost 1 million of us without any #GeneralPhysicians / #FamilyDoctors & this is outrageous. Some people have been waiting for YEARS!
#BCNDP fucked up #BCHealth so much! They can't blame past government anymore because they've been in power for over a fucking decade. They appointed #eugenics monster #BonnieHenry - who is still paid tons of monies to do shit all to actually improve #BCPublicHealth but if we could see all of her full FOIs by multiple orgs - we'd see she's invested a ton of her own monies into privatized health clinics. She has a 2nd home in James Bay in #VictoriaBC & I'm going to help her get extra unwanted attention at that place.
No mention of how much #BCNDP paid #OathbreakerBonnie for 2022 or 2023. I could only find this older article:
Hearts Based #Education and #AntiColonial #Learning in #Healthcare (H.E.A.L) Project is using the #arts to combat #HealthcareBiases.
“The H.E.A.L. #HealthcareProject provides #SystemicChange that is long overdue. I often think about the extractive ways that we talk about #CulturalSensitivity and #CulturalCompetency,” said Nicole Halbauer, H.E.A.L. Healthcare Project Manager.
The project will use #poetry, #storytelling, and #VisualArts to better understand patient experiences with a goal of #humanizing the healthcare system by bringing together #FirstNations #creators and #activists based in #PrinceGeorge.
They will work to create #ArtsBased and #AntiOppressive learning materials for healthcare staff including #nurses and #doctors.
The #FreeLessons will be available on the H.E.A.L Healthcare website.
The program is being organized by the Health Arts Research Centre in partnership with the Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health.
The project is part of the federal government’s plan to create better and safer health systems for Indigenous people with $126.7 million being committed to the project over three years.
*Me, my Mom & my youngest brother are some of the many thousands of patients in #BritishColumbia who have been on the #WaitingList for a new family #doctor since our previous GPs retired.*
When the province introduced its #HealthConnectRegistry in 2021, we were told this would help #patients to find a #FamilyPhysician.
About 900,000 #BritishColumbians have no doctor, and while the #Health Ministry continues to announce the recruitment of new #physicians, that number has remained fairly constant for years.
Yet the #inability of the Registry to make meaningful progress is only one of its failings.
More troubling is that the Registry makes no attempt to place patients based on their age or #medical condition. This conflicts with one of the basic principles underlying medical practice, that faced with an inability to treat everyone who needs help, those with the most pressing requirements should come first.
The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.
There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.
The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.
From @thetyee
Gregory said the database is a good idea for some diseases, in particular for some vaccines that do protect people from infection. But when it comes to COVID-19, he said, the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission.
“Relying on vaccinations as the measure of whether people are likely or not to transmit [COVID] to vulnerable patients is a very dangerous strategy,” Gregory said.
Instead, he added, it would be best if everyone wore masks in public health settings whenever possible.
Mitigation measures such as properly worn N95s, HEPA air filtration, ventilation and avoiding high-risk areas like indoor crowded spaces are “all variant proof,” Gregory said. “No variant has evolved to circumvent an N95.”

If you are also in #BritishColumbia - please let me know about similar unsafe medical facilities so I can avoid entering them & let my family & friends know they're unsafe/unmasked places too.
The entire staff at #Agora, in #ViewRoyal, #VictoriaBC won't mask up so I'm not going In there. Changed my appointment today to phone appointment instead.
They're a privatized franchise with locations in #Vancouver, #Brampton & #Kingston - #Ontario. You should know that their staff don't wear #CovidSafety masks.
Another #EmergencyRoom #closed in #BritishColumbia due to lack of staffing.
#Lillooet #Hospital’s emergency room is closed for 24 hours starting Monday morning due to a lack of available staff. This is another closure following a list of closures in July.
FYI - These are the kind of emails I send out to #medical facilities that I have to go to. I don't fucking play around!
@http @Sh4d0w_H34rt I'd love to see ethics & integrity return to #BCPublicHealth. I'm sick of the ongoing lies, PR crap & our tax monies paying for #BonnieHenry - #eugenics pushing #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Fuck her & every single #BCNDP who enabled her to screw us all over. I wish her & her political enablers, much death & disabilities.
@Sh4d0w_H34rt Yeah & I didn't trust #Telus even before they started getting their dirty corporate hands into #BCPublicHealth. There's no way I'd start to trust them now. Especially when our #PublicHealth official is an evil #eugenics pusher & cares about money more than people.
Public health care should never be treated like a corporate business.
#BonnieHenry is the Canadian hive queen of corporate covid denial. She has always been our weakest link yet the #bcgovt made sure her health opinions outrank us all.
This #bcndp has made fools of all who care to mask and continue to take covid precautions by securing Bonnie in her covid power position indefinitely.
Her lack of care is pivotal to the total collapse of #bcpublichealth and the creation of for profit #telushealth care. Public hospitals will never be safe again under Henry’s rule.
I have been anger triggered by the sight and sound of Bonnie Henry for years now. I can’t watch or listen to her lies and gaslighting anymore and truly despise her and those who stay her power.
When govts allow voters to get so incensed at a failed public health official yet still keep her in power and even praise and commend her lack of care, we are all truly lost.
Just fcking went fuck off on #VIHA & #BCGovt & #BCPUBLICHealth asshats AGAIN. Fired off at them. Don't care how anyone feels about that. It's coming up on my Dad's death again & triggering antimasker #police traumas in our home again. I'm still fucking angry about it all! I still have no fucking justice & still trying to fight despite us not having funds to fight back. I'll fight in public!

What #BonnieHenry means to say is that there will certainly be #covid all through our #bced schools this year, and she and this #BCndp will certainly do nothing to stop it.
My #immunocompromised #bced wife who hasn’t received a booster in a year will have no extra “layers of protection” with unmasked students/unclean air and #DBH is just fine with that.
This is our #BCndp govt’s submission to the virus, not ours.
Everyone in #bced is already sick regularly due to #bonniehenry and her don’t ask of covid, don’t tell of covid, not seeing covid, antimask ideology.
#BCPublicHealth is dead to me. My whole family just got covid a third time. We are suffering from this govt’s refusal to act in accordance with #science.
#DBH and #Dix together have squashed any respect/trust I had in our #BChealth system.
British Columbia is nothing but a beautifully disgusting #covid19bc cesspool due to the morally defunct “leadership” of this #BCndp.
