Dr. Henry said yesterday that children are "not amplifiers [of COVID] in schools" or the community.

My questions to epidemiologists everywhere: Is it true there's consensus on this issue? Are children and schools amplifying this pandemic or not?

Dr. Henry also claims that BC's school masks policies are broadly similar to the rest of Canada's. This is simply not true. I can't believe she's allowed to misstate her own policies to quite this extent. Or perhaps she has no firm handle on existing school safety measures in BC?

This study seemingly confirms a point that Dr. Henry stubbornly refuses to acknowledge: Young children can and do transmit COVID efficiently, even while asymptomatic.

If Dr. Henry's a scientist, why is she acting more like a politician on this matter? https://twitter.com/DrZoeHyde/status/1360246799324225544?s=19
