Let's not make the cure worse than the disease, which has kind of been the mantra of this show.
In this episode, Trish Wood interviews Dr. Richard Schabas, a former Medical Officer of Health, who offers a critical analysis of the COVID-19 policy failures in Canada. Dr. Schabas, once a respected expert, was sidelined by media outlets like CBC for his controversial views, which now seem vindicated as he discusses the disastrous impacts of these policies. He highlights how fear and division were used to manipulate public opinion, leading to one of the worst COVID responses globally.
The conversation also turns to the political turmoil in Canada under Prime Minister Trudeau. The government is in disarray, with significant resignations and reshuffling. Many Canadians express dissatisfaction with Trudeau's leadership, calling for an election as his governance appears to be faltering. Dr. Schabas also critiques the global public health approach during the pandemic, emphasizing the need for focus protection as advocated by the Great Barrington Declaration.
He discusses the implications of vaccine mandates and the lack of expertise among many medical professionals who were tasked with guiding public health policy. Trish Wood shares a personal resilience strategy through the Serenity Prayer, a tool from Alcoholics Anonymous that offers peace in challenging times. This piece of wisdom is particularly relevant during the holiday season, providing a means to cope with family dynamics and societal divisions.
Overall, this episode challenges listeners to critically evaluate public health policy, media narratives, and political leadership, urging them to remain informed and resilient in the face of adversity.
