Cancel the offending expert!

RE: Liberals call for veto of acting medical officer of health in Haldimand-Norfolk The Canadian Press news article published in the Hamilton Spectator 4 Sept. 21.

Ontarians are represented by idiots.  Liberal Health Care critic John Fraser, for example, wants an acting appointee medical officer to be cancelled because the doctor opposes lockdowns!  Fraser calls lockdown a “life-saving public health measure” that the appointee opposes.

Who is the credentialed expert here, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Queen’s University Dr. Matt Strauss, or Mr. John Fraser, MPP for Ottawa South - Dogsnest?  Since lockdowns are, at best, a necessary evil, don’t you want someone in charge who opposes the imposition of an evil?

Being opposed to lockdowns merely proves that Dr. Strauss is following the science, which has been averse to lockdowns since April, 2020.  The definitive study of lockdowns came in January, 2021, when doctors from the Stanford University Medical Center concluded from a study of lockdown measures world-wide that they were ineffective in controlling the spread.  The empirical daily case data from Ontario supports that conclusion.  Lockdowns – mass quarantines -don’t save a life, and prolonged lockdowns may cost lives through the secondary health consequences they have.

The real offense here is the urge to cancel.  Disregard Dr. Strauss’ qualifications and expertise, he’s a threat to the mindset of shut-up and obey the government!  Strauss is as qualified as the people advising Ford, and having time and less pressure, is able to think and draw different conclusions.  Conclusions that must be cancelled in a free and democratic society, apparently.
