In November, as Alberta battled its second wave, CBC reported that secret recordings of meetings showed Hinshaw disagreed with decisions being made by the government’s emergency management cabinet committee.Article content
“On several occasions, a premier has said, ‘Well, I’m just doing what my chief medical officer of health tells me to do’ and that’s convenient, I guess, but for these kinds of things, I doubt if that’s really true,” he said. “The doctors should be there to explain things to the public about how the disease is spread, and what symptoms you get, and how sick you can get, and what the consequences are.”Popularity discrepancies
One reason for the discrepancy between Henry and Hinshaw could be that opposition to restrictions is not as high in British Columbia as it is in Alberta. An August survey by Angus Reid found that Albertans are more likely than those in other provinces to think their government is going too far when it comes to COVID-19 restrictions, however almost half of the Alberta respondents thought the measures at the time were just right and 27 per cent said they didn’t go far enough.
“I remember zero messages, zero interviews. There is absolutely nothing about him that I remember, aside from the fact that perhaps he has a moustache,” she said. “When it’s coming from the government, the public knows that’s a balance between political, economic and health considerations,” she said. “Whereas if the chief medical officer of health is saying something, we think it’s good science.”
Thankfully they maintain a thick skin against the misplaced, nasty attitudes of some Canadians & stay true to their profession. Provincial opposition leaders also play a huge role in inciting rage against health experts with relentless disinformation & gas lighting strategies.
That vastly depends on their expertise. I wouldn't put evidence-free epdevilla in the same basket as Dr. Henry, for example.
Their legacy will be the price of mass hysteria.
