2022-01-17 Speech to Toronto Board of Health
http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2022.HL33.3
I address these comments particularly to my councillor, Mr Paul Ainslie. Please see my website at https://f2sg.substack.com/p/2022-01-17-speech-to-toronto-board for the extended version of this speech and for references.
1/ My comments are directed to appropriate metrics for public health
As of 0800 Monday January 17th, there was no staff report for this item. These comments are therefore primarily based on the 2021-11-22 Background file and 2021-12-14 Background file that staff published for the December BoH meeting. The background files contained reported COVID-19 cases, ICU capacity and various COVID-19 vaccination statistics. These metrics have not been well adapted to Omicron as Dr de Villa indicated in her presentation this morning.
The 2021-11-22 background file states
Development of a full suite of indicators for public health will require considerable effort, and should be undertaken in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
I strongly recommend every member of the board take 28:37 minutes to watch Chris Martenson’s video “CDC, FDA NIH and Fauci doing more harm than good” dated 2021-11-30 https://odysee.com/@Chris_Martenson:2/cdc,-fda-nih-and-fauci-doing-more-harm:4 linked in my presentation on f2sg.substack.com. Chris discusses the purpose of a public health agency and how to measure it’s success.
All-Cause Mortality
Chris Martenson and many others advocate measuring all cause mortality because it is simple, powerful and readily available. It is not subject to as broad an interpretation as COVID-19 hospitalization rates or cases. It will indicate whether TPH interventions are saving more people than they are killing. TPH needs to start analyzing all cause mortality immediately to get back on track with it’s public health interventions.
All-Cause Morbidity
Neither Chris Martenson nor I can propose a single measure of morbidity with the same power and simplicity as deaths. In addition to consulting with the Ministry of Health to develop metrics I suggest the Board consult with the citizens of Toronto, after all Toronto is a major medical research centre.
According to lawyer James Cooper, https://strongandfreecanada.org/vlog/no-canadian-can-give-informed-consent-to-the-vaccines-interview-with-james-cooper-lawyer/ approx 30:30, the Ontario Ministry of Health has complete data on the vaccine rollout which they are using for vaccine passports, there are death registries and information on hospitalizations.
All sorts of Toronto institutions participated in Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against Omicron or Delta infection corresponding author Jeff Kwong 2021-12-30 with the apparent exception of TPH. This study used Ontario vaccination and testing data.
Appropriate data exists. Has TPH requested the provincial health data that applies to Toronto? has TPH analyzed it at all with respect to mortality? Does TPH have any analytic capability or at least the ability to team up with any of the multiple research organizations in Toronto? If not, is TPH willing to post the anonymized data so others can analyze it for you?
2/ Childhood Vaccinations
As far as I know the pharmaceutical companies have only done small scale, short term studies of the MRNA vaccines in children 5-11 that are insufficient to detect all the side effects.
Britain is not mandating childhood COVID-19 vaccination.
Where is the data on deaths and hospitalizations relative to vaccinations in 5-11 year olds for Toronto?
What data is Dr de Villa relying on to claim that the vaccines are safe and effective for 5-11 year olds and to lobby for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for this entire age group? Especially given the findings of negative vaccine efficacy in certain situations in Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against Omicron or Delta infection
What plans does TPH have to monitor children 5-11 for COVID-19 vaccine side-effects?
3/ Vitamin D
There is overwhelming evidence that vitamin D levels correlate inversely with the severity of COVID-19. Not only that, but instead of negative side effects vitamin D has broad positive effects against other diseases as well.

https://odysee.com/@Chris_Martenson:2/three-ways-government-agencies-are:7 at 12:49 “Three ways government agencies are harming your health” 2022-01-04
What is not to like about Vitamin D from a public health perspective? Where is the mass vitamin D level testing? Where is the lobbying to cover vitamin D testing under OHIP again? Why does TPH not champion vitamin D testing as a public health equity issue, especially since it affects people based on how dark their skin is?
TPH has to start acting on vitamin D for me to take you seriously as a public health agency.
If enough people sign up to speak but don't want to write an original presentation, they could play 5 minute chunks of selected videos so we can be sure the BoH actually watches them.
This would take some logistical co-ordination before the meetings because the speakers list is not published until immediately before the meeting. In my experience the first to sign up are the first to speak which can be difficult to predict. A group would have to sign up for each video and then coordinate their segments in real time before the meeting. This website can set up something similar to https://f2sg.substack.com/p/connect-by-postal-code per video. I personally phone in to the meetings so need help with the technolgy of playing video on Board of Health video calls.
2022-01-17 I'm reviewing the speaker instructions and note that presentations are audio only, at least for this meeting. I guess that doesn't preclude playing audio only, but videos would need to be selected accordingly.
Why is no one addressing the fact that Eileen Devilla's husband has financial ties to pharmaceutical companies? That is a huge conflict of interest.
