Toronto Public Health wants to cut more than nine million dollars from its COVID-19 funding and over 400 jobs next year.

The city’s health agency submitted its 2023 operating budget to the Board of Health Committee for consideration last week and is proposing an overall budget of over $369 million and 2,309.9 positions.

TPH says its operating plan for next year includes in-year changes, base changes “and a confidential program efficiency pending City Council approval.” “Toronto Public Health is reducing its budget request for the COVID-19 General Response by $9,111.9 thousand gross and 209.0 positions; however, an increase of $36,978.3 thousand gross is being requested to continue the mass immunization campaign. Funding for these COVID-19 programs will be requested from the Ministry of Health as part of its extra-ordinary COVID-19 cost recovery initiative,” TPH wrote in its submission on Oct. 28.TPH is also proposing to eliminate 102 positions and $4.

As of Oct. 27, 87 per cent of all Toronto residents have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, 83 per cent have received two doses and 53 per cent have received three doses.

What about the 350 million doses of vaccine our Prime Minister ordered last year for this year and next? Does he just add that into all of the other $ he’s given away the past 2 years? What a joke!

Good! COVID is and always has been a hoax from day 1!

Yep the gig is up
