She’d been asked during a media briefing Monday about a confirmed report of the death of a six-year-old from complications from the flu. Some of the details in Henry’s statement were sobering as well: “The children who died included one who was younger than five years old, three who were between five and nine, and two adolescents who were between 15 and 19. Death associated with influenza in previously healthy children is a tragic, but rare event and is especially rare in school-age children and teens.”Article content
“This is an unusual season with unusual characteristics, including an early and intense surge in cases. With this unusual pattern, enhanced surveillance has been implemented that includes reporting of pediatric influenza-related deaths to public-health officials. As the information is confirmed, updates on pediatric influenza-related deaths will be posted weekly as part of the respiratory surveillance summaries on the BCCDC website.
The three retired public servants who did the review cited numerous concerns about misleading, evasive and incomplete pandemic communications from the Health Ministry and the office of the provincial health officer. “There was strict central control of the messaging, including actively discouraging any questioning or challenging of the provincial health officer.”

Oh that must be right wing conspiracy mumbo jumbo 🙄🙄
Early xmas present for Kevin Falcon?
Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Alex Jadad, physician, epidemiologist “ We must also ensure that those who are responsible for harmful outcome that could have been prevented are held to account”
Fear sells!!
No sht. They lied to everyone.
Bonnie Henry is evil she knows and has known for almost two years that the jab is causing myocarditis and blood clots. She was informed by Dr. Charles Hoffe and choose to ignore and victimize people continually to this day.
Nope. Crazy perma maskers and the media are in fact the ones eroding public trust here. Demanding mask mandates long after the pandemic is over is whats wrong here.
She's a wolf in sheep clothing
public trust ? ... lol ... not much left
Oddly, only recently some took notice
She has single handedly destroyed all trust with the medical profession. The fact that cloth and paper masks in all other medical textbooks states that they will not provide protection against pathogens. Anyone that disagrees with the propaganda is deplatformed. Ridiculous.
Not mine🤷♀️
Funny how karma works…the unvaccinated disliked her from the start, the maskers, the Covid obsessed and her cheerleaders like keithbaldrey and VaughnPalmer loved her but now everyone hates her. Oh well, I’m sure she’ll get a big severance $$$ and a gold plated govt pension
Please support our class action.
Can't stand that fraud Bonnie Henry
That’s usually what happens when you ****ing lie non-stop. Hire a PHO who actually follows the science not the $ grubbers. firebonniehenry
The scary part is the Liberals are no better. Do we have such short memories of their reign of terror.
She lied about super immunity repeatedly but the press decided she was infallible
Late to the party….2 years ago when Supreme Leader Bonnie cried at the podium for a woman who was over 100yrs old that passed away, I knew, not the person who should be making public health decisions.
BC Health is going to 💀British Columbians in order to serve a weird Spanish Inquisition ideology of pseudoscience. Bonnie Henry is a high priestess. Real science requires skepticism and humility. A willingness to sacrifice your pride for the truth.
From hero to zero. They health ministers across Canada are falling like dominos.
nancyvictoria NDP bill 36 from BC needs to stop. Bill36 is an authoritarian abusive law. Want to see why the lack of any trust is well earned? Because the main story was never about Bill36 even once this week.
If they want to regain public trust, they need to be transparent with the C19 vaccination status of those that have died. 'Antigenic sin/ADE' is known possibility along with increase risk of influenza & RSV. They ignored these warnings. Cdns have a right to know.
Palmer offers nothing to journalism or humanity.
nancyvictoria alcoholawareness Yes,and the healthcare system has failed alcohol addiction,and failed to inform and protect the public,from the adverse effects of drinking! Including during COVID19
BC's 'Health Minister' is the only one in Canada who still thinks it's okay for our drugstores to sell cigarettes. The below quote is what he said when he was the health critic. Looking at it that way, it's easy to see why 'Mister Wishy-washy' has no credibility.
Oh please... spare us your 'holier than thou' act, Vaughn. What have you or anyone else in the media ever done to halt 'eroding public trust'? Do you think we haven't noticed that none of you question why B.C. is still the only province with a government employee vaccine mandate?
The greatest source of “misinformation” is politicians, gov’t officials, and the numerous institutions they are inextricably intertwined with. Those that use deceit to manipulate others don’t deserve your trust or respect, let alone deference.
I can’t stand her. So mousy and flip flops on her comments.
That ship has sailed. The trust is long gone.
Maybe if she didn't have to worry about the incessant push for masking mandates and lockdowns she wouldn't have to be so careful managing the message. She knows that one way or another children need to have their immunity restored through exposure.
Time for her to step aside and let someone else try to get people to believe again!
I would say….Henry is not going to be able to win an election for Eby the way she did for Horgan
Eroded? You mean broken.
Who trusts the government anymore?
we need flu vaccine mandate ! at least that one works
