4. Aggregation of covid together with other respiratory pathogens in surveillance data. This last one makes no sense given the distinct epidemiologies of different viruses…only makes sense if you want stuff to become invisible.

1. Defunding of wastewater surveillance 2. “Test-to-treat” restrictions from Ontario’s cmoh 3. Restriction of covid testing to hospital inpatients for hospital labs (which I believe have also had funding cuts) And

I’m not sure how aware folks are of changes to covid surveillance over the last few months that really look like a coordinated effort to make covid disappear by making surveillance disappear These include:

Non-transparency of health data (created on the public dime) is not a new problem in Canada. But it continues to negatively affect the health of Canadians. It needs to change. Aggregate numbers are not personal health information. https://t.co/cBnVOf04bh

Ontario’s Test-to-Treat Guidelines force clinics to RATION COVID TESTS …in spite of KNOWN HARMS

Dear Dr. Kieran Moore: Repeat infections⤴️the risk of Long COVID, even in people fully vaccinated. Ontario's new Test-to-Treat guideline BLINDS patients & clinicians to the diagnosis. We URGENTLY need MORE TESTS. Signed... https://t.co/oUeWQwE7QF @OntarioHealthOH

HEALTH DATA HOARDING has become a POLITICAL TOOL used for PERSONAL GAIN … but its ULTIMATE COSTS are paid by Canada’s MOST VULNERABLE & their loved ones @ONThealth @a_longhurst

@picardonhealth @DrGorfinkel @DFisman @TorontoStar @UofT_Pandemics Excellent article. Reminds me of this section from the report of the SARS Commission. Twenty years later and they're still playing the same games. https://t.co/05zuJ36iYr

Canada is no longer reporting deaths and hospitalizations due to #COVID19. Not knowing the “who, when and where” of COVID-19 creates catastrophic gaps in data by @DrGorfinkel @DFisman https://t.co/9p2s1z7mO8 via @TorontoStar @UofT_Pandemics #DataGap #SecretCanada

Just updated our preprint assessing the 2022 study that claimed medical masks to be noninferior to N95s for COVID. In addition to issues identified previously, a closer examination of the data revealed unexpected patterns unlikely to occur in nature: https://t.co/vgvcI7aqlR

Happy 7 1/2 month birthday to the fairly straightforward plagiarism complaint I brought forward to @WileyGlobal I have no doubt the folks at the lab are working on it in shifts

I’m sure there’s no official ranking (yet) but “I talked to our FOIA person and she told me how to evade FOI” has to be the greatest line ever to appear in a FOIA’d email. @GWR @BiosafetyNow

Oy

I've formatted @trishgreenhalgh 🔥🧵& saved as PDF: https://t.co/J8WcMHlXY9. Feel free to use! I want to turn the screencaps into proper inserted quotes, but this will do for now. I will send it & the paper to MANY! @Mark_Ungrin @sameo416 @DALupton @Globalbiosec @DFisman

Masks and respirators for prevention of respiratory infections: a state of the science review https://t.co/rPoZUH8Gx5 "....masks are, if correctly and consistently worn, effective in reducing transmission of respiratory diseases and show a dose-response effect." "...mask

Great and accessible breakdown of our new evidence review on masks and respirators. On the ‘gram 😊 @trishgreenhalgh @Globalbiosec @UofT_Pandemics https://t.co/TtXseT0opI

WHO Chief Scientist with over 82,000 followers posted this about 6 hours ago and it generated exactly… ZERO likes. What do you conclude from that?

I am so thrilled that this incredible analysis is FINALLY out! And GUESS WHAT?! Masks work and they work well! 🧵1/5 Thank you: @trishgreenhalgh @Globalbiosec @fisman_n @sameo416 @AmandaKvalsvig @Mark_Ungrin @jvipondmd & others.
