Me thinks it's (long past) time to stop calling them "public health" agencies. Maybe "pharma death" agencies would be more fitting, less Orwellian.

"Pharma death" is accurate. I'm with you!

yup, 100% accurate. They don't deserve to be called public health agencies. Public death maybe.

My aged mother's doctor renews prescriptions for her ill-health and takes her blood pressure.

That's the extent of his "practice".

I take care of her actual health, and ensure he doesn't make any more mistakes with the medications he has already prescribed, or "recommends".

He has overdosed her. Twice. Serious errors.

Other family members in charge didn't notice when I was out of town.

Ask no questions and don't research. Doctors are GODS. Infallible.

That's the situation, here in our over-medicated socialized medicine "covered" country.

God forbid if the elderly in Canada have no health CARE advocate.

They're hooped.

Public health is anti personal rights.

Our local PH person—not sure of her qualifications—loved basking in the limelight of Vid restrictions/mandates. She was often quoted, while quoting the equally unqualified state PH official, in our local rag. So much BS.
