Canada\u0027s chief public health officer says plans are underway to sift through Canadian sewage to test for and measure new health threats.

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, wastewater detection became a key way to track the spread of the virus, especially as free lab tests for individuals were phased out for all but a few in later waves.

Tam said the method is complicated, but they’ve landed on something that can “probably” be used more broadly. How that monitoring fits into the Public Health Agency of Canada’s surveillance efforts on monkeypox is not yet clear.Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamThe monkeypox disease comes from the same family of viruses that cause smallpox, which the World Health Organization declared eradicated around the globe in 1980.

“We’re already starting to look at what the options are,” Tam said of monitoring for polio in Canada. “Instead of testing hundreds of thousands of people kind of randomly to determine if they’re infected with a specific pathogen, or one that we don’t even know is circulating, you can just get a wastewater sample and test 100,000 people with one test,” he said.Article content

It's only a new threat because they new it would be poisoned.

They literally steal our sh!t and use it against us!

Why don't we all send them 'crap' in a zip lock baggie ans same them some time sampling sewers.

The only threat to public health, is you tam and the trugrope govt trudeaumustgo

How does this thing still have a job

Since there's evidence that it was partly was the reason for the eradication of these diseases and not vaccines - get on it!

I'd like to personally mail a turd to Mr.Tam

ShePoohOutDog

Montreal wastewater must be so much cleaner since they’re still allowed to dump in the St. Lawrence. No need for testing there.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The radical left must be reeling from the recent annoucement from the CDC. Covid has been a dream for these socialist leaning governments that aim to replace personal freedoms and choice with state controls. Now the likes of Tam are scrambling, looking for a new set of shackles

This is why No vaccine is safe going forward. They will try to force you to get as many shots as they can. Why else are they building huge mRNA factories.

looks like he crawled outta wastewater!

Holy F tell someone who cares.

Perhaps we should start sending the government some weekly samples!

Because people have a compromised immune system 'all of a sudden'!

Desperate to keep the scam going.

More pseudo science. No historical records of any data-so no baseline for comparison. Just find something then scream -it’s the apocalypse. There’s no method of testing in this scenario that is accurate without years of comparative analysis. Any analytical chemist would concur.

Where can I submit my application to become a crap inspector?

I got some wastewater for them.

I just took a dumpsey in my toilet, please personally come to inspect it Tam CPHO_Canada

upthedowncycle is a plumber by trade, 'apparently' and his toilet must be piped directly to the lab so he could be the first in line for the next great global hoax. Ormo4VillageIdiot

She is an expert in talking shit, after all....

Public Healthcare really is going down the toilet.

Make Tam's voting record at the WHO, public! CPC_HQ

Waste of money.

All they are going to find is alot of corn

What a job. Testing shitty water for *threats*

No thanks no more fear mongering for me.. yet I never fear mongered the entire 2 1/2 years of Covid. Resist

Always thought she was a shit disturber.

Should we place our bets on how long before this is discovered in our wastewater? Seriously....just stop the nonsense.

If you look for problems, you will find things that aren't actually problems and blow them out of proportion.

Public health in Canada is a complete joke. You can’t get a doctor, will spend hours in emergency, but they will put resources into spying on our excrement

Obsessed with our poop.

That's a man🙄

She looks like a Disease! I just can't stand this woman [?] ALMOST as much as the wanna be DickTator SoyBoy Little Justin!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope she taste tests it.

Can't you just go away Tam.

Tam should be fired

They are addicted to instilling fear for control. Scumbags.

Have fun during sweet corn season.

I hope we can find all those using pronouns

It seems like their fishing for evidence that it is out there. Are the not enough symptomatic ppl? monkeypox monkeypoxvaccine Ottawa Canada Tam

arrest that btch

Polio Cases have now freshly emerged in Western nations with traditionally high rates of vaccinated people after being eradicated in Canada in 1993 and US in 1994.

Government should better monitor everything, including private one.

Ah the new way to stay relevant and to scare the crap out of the simpletons.

TamTheSham .. Seriously folks, You all should have woken up at Glory holes.

Hahahahaha. This dude needs to piss off. Unelected official. Always wrong. Opinion is meaningless

On the 'useless scale', Trudeau is easily 1, but Tam and Fauci are currently tied at 2.

Still hunting for the elusive alligators in the sewers.

Complete bullshit, they have no manpower to pull this off, believe what you will, but most had better know this to be complete bullshit.

Fear Porn for the Brain Dead Masses.

Since when is this a thing? Where is the evidence that this is an accurate way to detect outbreaks? Sounds like total BS to me, just like all the 'science' around CV19. 🤡🌎

Gotta find all possible trace of whatever virus to make sure we stay in perpetual emergency

If you look for it. You’ll find it. 🤷‍♂️

The water surveillance is being ecpanded looking for Viruses

Who is this guy?

New threats? Will they find Tam in the wastewater samples? Ha

She's really doing a good job with her recent pay raise, isn't she.

Stop digging through our poop.

Tam and the rest at Health Canada have no credibility anymore. They totally destroyed the Dept by being wrong about everything for the last 2 1/2 years. Incompetence or criminal, either way they should just be ignored.

We should all mail her our samples

Is she still relevant?

Nice, so Polio was eradication but suddenly makes a new appearance and the 'public health' department doesn't understand why FFS
