Ontario\u0027s chief medical officer of health links viral surge to \u0027negative consequences\u0027 of extended mask mandates, rules out new ones — for now

Play Video

In recent weeks, the Red Cross has been deployed to assist at CHEO, hundreds of pediatric surgeries have been cancelled across the province, children have had to be airlifted hundreds of kilometres from home for critical care and one pediatric surgery chief said he feared some children won’t make it because of dangerously long waits for needed surgery. In Ottawa and elsewhere, children’s health officials have pleaded with people to wear masks to protect children and the hospital system.

Moore said the province is also closely watching cases of invasive group A strep in children in the province. There have been 18 cases reported among children 14 and under since September, he said. There have been no fatalities associated with the illnesses, but Moore said provincial officials are monitoring the situation daily. Group A strep is a bacterial infection of the throat or skin that can cause scarlet fever and, in its invasive form, can get into the blood stream and cause death.

Although he essentially ruled out new mask mandates under the current situation, Moore does advise people to wear masks, especially in crowded public places such as on transit or in malls, and to get all vaccines they are eligible for to protect themselves against flu and COVID-19.Article content

I’m not a dr but I’ve been saying that from day one. Seems elementary to me. Deprive the body of oxygen and bad things happen.

Blame the masks...not the experimental, DNA-altering injections. 🤯

Save the planet! Wear a mask until all viruses are gone from the earth.

Is buddy saying masks spread covid? Who knew! LOL

That's because he knows he'd be LAUGHED OUT OF THE BUILDING. Apparently you don't, report that!

Sterilize all living space Isolate kids from each other for a year Prevent kids from getting common colds and flu Now their immune system is weak and we reap what we sow. Masks have nothing to do with this, they are a symptom of hypochondriasis, not a cause of sickness.

Another missed opportunity to portray the benefits of health and fitness!!

More proof that the mask mandates were useless and ultimately caused more harm that good.

inky_mark gbdeclaration

Dear people who want to wear masks. Go ahead and wear one. The rest of us won't care and we won't even try to mandate you not wear one.

Maskers in shambles. Clergyman of public health are turning their back on the devout believers.

It's just impossible for these 'specialists' won't listen to the doctors and discuss other and all ways to treat all viruses

To Bad Moore doesn't practice what he preaches.

JBC137N What a clown

Anything this clown says is from a corrupt place. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

When do these people start swinging?

No one is stopping the sheep to wear 10 masks and get 20 shots and stay inside the house locked up forever. Stop complaining that why other ppl don’t join our sheep herd. 🐑🐑🐑

How Leftists Destroyed a Generation of Kids – and Is Lying About It | The Brittany Hughes Show

Well duh? And why are these weak minded people policy makers

GBbruins He is a mass murderer and that's how he will be judged.

We're getting sicker because we avoid things. Oh, and I recommend avoiding things.

Except Sweden had zero lockdowns or mask mandates disproving the clearly false neoliberal narrative of immunity debt. The real culprit is CoVID- it’s an immunity thief. Even so called mild acute infections cause immune harm leaving the infected defenceless to fight Flu, RSV etc!

This man could very well be costing people their lives. The research and evidence is available - for pete's sake put it to use!

He knows his ass is in hot water once the truth is exposed

freetoexpress12 Smart. Finally some logic and common sense.

Nope ....

Love this 🙄. Masks no good = don’t wear, masks good = wear all the time, one mask no good = wear 2/3, masks no good again = don’t wear for now but maybe in the future 🙄🤦‍♀️🙄 sciencebestupid

Dr Kieran Lenin Moore has no regards for human life. All they care about is getting rich out of people's misery. I tuned out from ever listening to these tyrants.

Shove that mask up your crack. I'll never put one on again. Mandate or not.

Pedophile looking Colonel Sanders there also looks like he likes to hurt kids. That's just my opinion and my impression from looking at him and listening to him speak several times

This guy's moral compass is as dysregulated as people's immune system.

Needs to come out a bit further and tell the complete truth....masks, lockdowns, social distancing and the VAX has decimated immune system. We were wrong on all of it.

Even if they brought them back It's still a hard No!!!!

Hint, what does the human body become 2 months after the COVID shot and it’s immune system drops to low? Answer, a virus factory, spreading to all the good little girls and boys.

This is the most corrupt, incompetent, dishonest, cowardly gov't to stain the history of Ontario.

So we’re pretending that masks completely eliminated other viruses, that have been around for centuries, but did nothing to stop Covid? Cool, cool

To apologise to all Canadians specially kids and resign!!!!

Never wearing a mask again, don’t care if it’s mandated or not.

Yeah, he figured that out himself! Smh!

Finally common sense prevails

Well not allowing kids to get sick for 2 years well the same number that would have gotten sick over the same time are now getting it all at once.

your headline should note that what he says is a fucking lie

The Chief Medical Officer has joined a growing compost of 'experts in science' slow walking back their 'based in science' sermon from the mount that devastated generations hope for the future due to C19 insanity of people like him. The loss of trust in our institutions is word.

HayleeStrongman Klaus — have you seen this? Your little Pfizer puppet is fucking with the Narrative again.

Or Dr. Moore, maybe because most people had Covid in the last year, they have less T-cells to fight other viruses or perhaps Covid has done some long term damage OR masks made us weak. Maybe don't say what you don't know. You sound like a convoy covidiot.

Finally an adult acting like an adult.

The man is a bozo.

mc045 Wtf 🤬

I hate to say we told you so, but...

Immunity debt sucks. But it seems like the waves are already subsiding.

you don't say...?

Come out say, suggest, maybe we should, wear masks again. So CYA -🐔

nilikm not gonna like that, she's rather attached to the face diaper

They obviously aren't paying this guy enough under the table to go full on the narrative.

MinnieM96252794 Finally some common sense

Why are we still hearing from this guy?

-- For EVER

And....drumroll.....shots that erode immune system. Can't forget that little game we played. Over and over.

Random death by the jab happening all over the globe at rapid rates especially within children. Good luck to all 🫡

quack

It States on the side of a medical-grade mask Box. that it doesn't protect you from infection or disease but only protects you from certain Particulate. And if your mask Box doesn't come with a warning you should not be wearing them. And every Canadian has to be fit-tested!!

We knew this and it’s probably a cover up for the vaccines that killed children’s immune systems as well

Hey Dr. Moore, Sweden would like a word. Liar.

Total bull crap. Why would you magnify manure like this?

Hate to say we told ya so, but......

Ford told him not to bother so the fringe doesn't go more crazy that they already are.

The same SOB who mandated them!!

Oh so oxygen and the ability to expel waste out of our lungs is required for a healthy body? Wild. Got to love new discoveries in medicine!

Just wait till he figures out how harmful the vaccines are lol

StopPoliticalScience TrueMedicalData

If masking is so harmful why aren't drs and nurses 10 ft under the ground. H/c workers wear masks daily and r constantly surrounded by different viruses and bacteria daily wtf arent we sick? Put a mask on save a life!

I told you this guy is not a dr. Got his license off a cereal box. Anything he says should not be taken as truth. Does he have any scientific info to back his claims up---no!

It took them 2 years to realize that lockdowns and masks are the worst idea. We will feel the consequences of lockdowns and forced vaccinations for years to come. I will not forget that during this time last year we were headed towards a lockdown to “save the hospitals”.

Hey Kieran Moore.

Impossible. Ask any branch covidian.

So get infected to not get infected? Expose children to measles, small pox, polio, flu as per Moore? Moore has vested interest in discounting Covid immune damage because then he would be responsible for the current crisis by removing mask mandates.

Of all the CMO's of all of Canada this guy is the hypocrite in chief.

Have I misread this one?

PoliticalDoctor

You funking people did this to the kids! And should be held accountable for it!

Masks are filthy and they are not dense enough to filter Covid, but they do hurt your immune system. Canada USA

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Yes!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

WwLlXu It’s true.

RealAndyLeeShow Point, unvaccinated.

It's about time the CMO(!) finally sees the error of extended masking. FFS

No one's been wearing then so wtf is he talking about?

please, please watch the youtube video with Bill Maher and Dr Katz from spring 2020 and consider yourselves educated

Everything he said is incorrect.

Could this be the cover up for the you know what? If so, how ironic, an actual face cover to be used as a cover for impending health problems.

Nice to see you sporting the yellow journalism ✔️ mark.

No he didn't! Someone take away this man's medical license, he clearly can't read.

Quack, so explain painters, drywall folks nevermind doctors, nurses wearing them for their entire careers. Wear mine for stores, restaurants or crowds & not many of those.... What an imbecileic statement but it's another day of Ford Nation.

We're doomed

You mean breathing through a piece of cloth that collects bacteria all day has negative effects?

Wearing those germ filled masks most of which were made in China and under less than sterile conditions was one of the worst ways to treat illness - I imagine the masks were responsible for the extended length of time the illness stayed around.

Put these people in jail. Our country is a mess

But we were told there were no negative consequences to masks. Or lockdowns, or school closures, or business bankruptcies..

Covid the biggest con job to the human race other than Justin Trudeau

No way! Isn't that what the conspiracy theorists were saying for the past 2 years?

I stopped wearing a mask when I saw our corrupt prime minister take a knee in a BLM protest surrounded by thousands.

Ever since he jumped on Ford’s corruption train, I haven’t listened to anything he has to say. He does what he’s told.

But but, the science...

Moore openly spreading lies and conspiracy theories now I hope he gets sued - class action now

THIS CLAIM HAS BEEN DEBUNKED BY ACTUAL EXPERTS This is propaganda. There is NO SUCH THING as 'immunity debt,' PublicHealthON JustinTrudeau

These people are whacked

i love masks when i see one it always makes me giggle , laugh and point at them cheers me up for the rest of the day

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 ottawa

*Thinkin' aloud* 'No Shit'.

I am shocked they’ve given up their talismans but also not shocked that they think masks had anything to do with it and not kids being kept out of schools

Someone needs to suspend his medical license for malpractice.

No she’s a criminal, needs to be arrested, she can tell it to the judge.

Lmao

Peoples just need to learn to take care of themselves, never rely on government for your own good. You will always be disappointed.

About time. He sees the light. Masking depletes your immune system.

“For now.” I stopped wearing a mask in February of 2021. What makes you think I’ll ever one again if they reinstate the mandate? The media wants us muzzled for life, but they can pound cement. 😙

TOB90284160 Duh! Not to mention the other disastrous social & mental consequences children suffered by those unsubstantiated mask mandates. The medical community needs to speak out to protect children.

This article is full of crap

He is right

We told you this would happen. Another unfortunate ✅ for the 'conspiracy theorists'.

Dufus and all his followers.

Masking is detremental to children and adults and were never intended to be used in this kind of way. We have severely impacted cognitive development in our children and that by itself is unforgivable.

That's because nobody is going to listen to him! Nothing but propaganda from these clowns!

masks do not stop viruses. the lockdowns were the cause for the surge, not masks. but no one should be wearing masks either, they are a serious health hazard for bacterial based illnesses.

Boom 💥

There's no way this guy's a doctor.

He has as much authority as my local Karen. Comply, stay on your knees forever, cowards.

Haha I think he's trolling the branch covidians at this point

Canadians are ruling out masks for EVER!

OMG. The comments are nuts! You were all following everything he said word for word but now your brains break over the truth. This is common sense. You don’t get oxygen and you breathe in what’s trapped in the sickly masks.

Jesus Christ, wtf is it with Ottawa and the mask fetish? We're not wearing them. Even if they mandated them many people will just ignore the mandate. Like myself.

Wow, that’s a surprising admisssion.

Mask people are ridiculous as you can get.

Exactly. Mask and lockdown destroyed poor kids' immune system.

Masks never worked. Fauci's words not mine. All you fear porned people need to wake up and realize you have been duped. Look for answers instead of being spoonfed them. You'll find a whole new world reality.

Let’s start with single layer masks and the disclaimer that comes with just about every one sold. Then think about what your body is doing when it coughs-yup expels what it needs out. Critical thinking. Now are jabs safe and effective? Nope. Deaths! acquire and transmit virus

Omg this man needs to lose his medical licence. Anti scientific garbage nonsense. Immunity debt is not a thing.

This is something many of us discussed when the mask mandates were first dictated. We knew this would happen. Masks coupled with the over use of sanitizer will have this affect. Grade school science taught us this.

Masks have their own harms.

Closest we’ve come so far to having a health care professional actually admit we have an immune system.

Finally he got something right! But we were called conspiracy theorists warning about prolong mask use and here it sis ladies and gentlemen the RSV higher than normal

RealAndyLeeShow He’s right. And that’s it for him.

Masks never did anything. On the other hand, Two years of limiting human interaction is coming back to bite us.

Dr fauci Mass don't work

Someone got their brain still working .

At least he understands and admits it. Now the left will suddenly hate him too

We should have a class action lawsuit like BC is doing against their health minister

And there are people who want to keep masking children

For now? Ok then.. try forever! It’s called he knows masking does nothing and he also knows most of us with brains will never be stupid enough to follow that line of dictatorship again. Nice try though!

Yep. WE maimed our Kids for a LIB party.

Conspiracy theorists for the win........AGAIN.

Wow! This is really going to offend the Masks for life crowd, who also seem to be the Covid causes SAD’s, Myocarditis and bloodclots crowd. Let the mental gymnastics begin!

Lol for now,admits masks did damage but might do them in the future 🤡

He should resign now

nilikm how about that eh!

Oh my goodness I just can't believe what I am reading. 6 weeks ago he is urging you to mask in your own home with your own children. Now he blames the surge in mask mandates (which I agree with) but I just don't get how you can flip so much. Ridiculous.

Somebody pls send this to Nili

Finally the voice of reason. Excellent!

He is underhandedly suggesting masks make a difference. Don't fall for it.

Has he read any of the studies that prove masks don’t work? Or maybe he’s being paid to make these useless recommendations?

Last year THAT was a conspiracy theory. You knoe masks weakening the immune system. Lmfao!

RealAndyLeeShow MOORE- DOUBLE STANDARDS! BACK PADDLING AND LOTS OF BS.

He’s not the really informed good guy, is he? The immunitydebt fairy tale keeps going, seeking for believers. Same here in Germany. Why? Karl_Lauterbach janoschdahmen

RealAndyLeeShow Havent you seen the reports from the UK Gov and the vaccine damages …. Or are you still not allowed to report the Truth yet controlled useless media .

There is *zero* medical evidence that masking creates any negative consequences. There *is* peer reviewed medical research confirming that Covid infections damage immune systems, magnifying vulnerability to other infections. The CMOH is gaslighting you.

Good. Sanity at last.

RealAndyLeeShow Finally, bits of the truth. Masks work until they are moist, about 5 minutes. Then you are breathing in bacterial forming on the mask. Making your child wear one all day at school causes breathing issues and leads to hospitals being overwhelmed with, RSV. Thats science.

I think he just said this so he could put the crazies in the comment section 🤡

WTAF

What they should've done was to educate Ontarians about being responsible and sensitive to one another via ad campaigns on all media platforms. It is not like the province did not have the money to launch an educational campaign.

RealAndyLeeShow Looosssseeeerrrrr Go back to common sense school. It’s the repercussions of the mRNA vaccines side effects.

RealAndyLeeShow Told you so….

RealAndyLeeShow Really, about time!

RealAndyLeeShow Can anyone show us the science of how masks stop the virus Didn’t think so.

RealAndyLeeShow Pro maskers are going to lose their shit now

“I don’t know if at a societal level we are ready to go back to mask mandates, he added.” Way to bury the lead.

Useless twit!

Will you ever stop talking about masks? 🤡🤡🤡

Immunity Debt has been debunked due to flawed study. 🤦‍♀️ Other studies show that covid weakens immune system, sometimes for long duration after infection.. so masking would actually protect more ppl. WearAMask cdnpoli onpoli

WTAF is wrong with this ghoul ?

This article could have at least quoted some of the information provided at the CPAC press conference, namely that covid causes immune dysregulation and that treatments such as Paxlovid will need to be “shelved” soon as they don’t work on the immune-evading variants coming. 😡

Oh I can't wait for these so called professionals to pay their consequences for their actions towards others.

Can you stop editorializing headlines? I mean, think about how ridiculous this sounds to anyone not beholden to the mask cult: “Mask wearing had negative consequences, so we won’t force people to mask again… yet! But we might still bring these harmful things back! 🤞” Absurd

This is so bizarre. He’s not even pretending to be a doctor anymore.

How is that possible? Masks did nothing to stop viral transmission. These clowns just say whatever and get away with it. Unbelievable.

More unscientific disinformation from Ontario’s Chief Quack Officer of health. Moore repeats far right lies to defend the profits of the dictatorship of finance capital onted onpoli

Wow. Finally some common sense!! To all the immunity debt deniers, why is it that the main surges in respiratory issues are mainly in children? And children's hospitals. Its time for mask Karens to throw in the towel.

Wow finally

How is Dr. Moore's assessment of the situation controversial? George Carlin was way ahead of his time (recorded 1999)

When the chief medical officer starts spreading misinformation and mixes his “personal” speculations that contradict science as well as providing in a irate information about the effectiveness of vaccines and treatments… we can tell he’s no longer a doctor but a politician.

Finally, an expert with common sense and realistic observations.

Nili wont be happy!

Masks did nothing against viruses, but it's good to star talking about the fact that masks have heavy negatives.

Alternate Headline: Ontario’s chief medical officer of health proves he’s unqualified for the job, spews anti-science nonsense.

Oh yeah? Maybe it's the miasma from their breath affecting their humours? Mayhaps doctors can don crow masks and begin treating sick people with bloodletting?

I’m sure crazy eyes nilikm is totally having a melt down over this. Love it.

Ontario & BC appear to be having a contest as to whose provincial C.H.O. is most irresponsible, untrustworthy, dishonest, anti-science, and menacing to public health. Is it Moore or Henry? Or is it a dead heat?

Let the lawsuits begin, media included.... You pushed all of this!

Smart man.

They fear freedom convoy 2.0. Anyone who loses a child, should sue the government for not keeping kids safe during this breakdown of the health care system.

MerlinofCanada He bloody went full propaganda route. So when there are more dead children by the time next winter hits, what’s then?

Never masking again.

Or, Covid damages your immune system & business interests care & complicit politicians care more about this quarter's profits than you or your family's future health & reduced lifespan. One has science behind it. The other, lobbyists cdnpoli

If we continue enabling foolish statements like this from those in charge, Canada will fall. This is deep state criminality right before our eyes.

... 👇🏻

In a just world Dr Moore would lose his license or his job for vastly misrepresenting the science and for failing to do what's necessary to keep the population safe Immunity debt is not a thing:

This doc is great.

He’s listening to Ford

MerlinofCanada FFS, are you even a doctor?

MerlinofCanada Wow- still nothing about what Covid does to the immune system. I get that debt immunity applies to small children/infants but not grown adults. He could at least speak to studies relating to damaged T-cells.

For F*cks Sake

There is zero medical evidence based medicine to support this. Blame masks to camouflage lack of foresight, incompetence and inability to learn from past mistakes. Here is an intelligent,evidence based medicine, analysis of the situation:

It seems like KieranMoore is experiencing some flawed unscientific thinking regarding masks and viruses. How is it that his medical license has not been revoked? OntariosDoctors

Next week’s headline: Ontario’s CMO recommends Ontarians consider alternating courses of treatments of Ivermectin and HydroxyChloroquine.

Canada is destroyed because of Covid (Plandemic) we have politicians and MSM destroying peoples lives but hey we now have MAID. Unbelievable

this is what happens when people don't vote. the chief medical officer and the premier screwed up big time.

Next: Ontario’s CMO blames viral surge on miasma. Seriously cdnpoli: If you have the privilege to leave the country, do. What passes for your leaders betrayed you. The next months will be an ever more deadly nightmare - esp for kids & frail folks. If you can, flee. “Go now. Go”

.BogochIsaac KatharineSmart AlikaMD do you agree with this?

theJagmeetSingh recently stated that children are dying in the hospitals. Who is going to be accountable for these deaths? Or do we just ignore those deaths as in the deaths of those who died from the vaccine too.

Could it be damage to immune systems from repeated bouts of covid? If so doing nothing is not a great plan.

Yes masks caused all of this. Now let the screamers scream lol

Ontario's top (Doug: whats my opinion?) doctor.

Mike30Trill He can try and mandate another season of mask wearing, but it won't go well for him and Ford

When all else fails, grasp at straws.

Well well, a common sense approach, for now at least
