Irvin Studin is the President of the 21st Century Questions Institute, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Global Brief magazine, and Chair of the Global Committee for Educating All Children (post-pandemic). His latest book is "Canada Must Think for Itself - 10 Theses for the Survival and Success of Our Country This Century" (globalbrief.ca/canada-must-think-for-itself).

Studin says, "Health officials now think they have brought the vaccine as a great gift to the children they ignored and exploited. Most regional health officials in Ontario should resign by Christmas. The disaster of the province's health systems is very serious, and our children and youth have been betrayed."

The strength of democracy lies in its ability to correct serious mistakes in policy and administration by providing decision-makers with reports on the performance and problems of these health systems. Our medical health officials continue to make one mistake after another without correction or any attention to treatment. I call this pattern of governance 'Tweet and Run'!

The largest province in Canada is subject to one makeshift dictate after another issued by Twitter through 34 separate public health authorities, which are now not accountable under Section 22 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act to anyone or anything but their own social media summaries. The weak political class has lost control, while the population is forced to suffer the nonsense invented by decision-makers from Zoom rooms without seeing the people, understanding the enormous systems they manipulate, or wanting to discover and correct their own mistakes.

While these public health authorities are exclusively obsessed with the pandemic and vaccination, their abstract decisions affect almost every system in the Canadian state and society, such as education, business, the economy, healthcare unrelated to COVID, institutions, and the social fabric that connects tens of millions of Canadians.

But with respect, what does a health official in Toronto, Peel, York, or even Ontario know about education? Zero. What do they know about work? Zero. What do they understand about what is happening to our children whose education system is constantly being disrupted (or completely collapsing), whose sports and music lessons are regularly threatened or canceled, and their ability to dream of a bright future in this wonderful country hindered by medical and scientific authorities who have not cared about their suffering for nearly two years?

These medical scientific authorities now come bearing child vaccination as a great gift to the children they ignored and exploited. None of these modest authorities could provide a complete and intelligent explanation of the rapid vaccination issue, or the risks of such vaccination (let's not pretend or deny), or what tomorrow holds for Canadians.

While vaccination in Canada, as elsewhere, was a critical tool for dealing with the pandemic in specific age groups, we have deployed vaccination madly. Our medical health officials were the main sponsors of this madness, downplaying the rhythm, content, and color of life in the face of COVID and vaccines, and then what? More vaccines! There is nothing else in life except vaccines.

Wherever the provincial or federal government issued guidelines, these regional medical health officials consider themselves wiser or alongside angels where they have gone "beyond" the recommendations of elected bodies. Accordingly, they have ruined education, expelled thousands of ordinary children from all sports and recreational activities (to the streets!), and oversaw the humiliation of businesses and the public whom they never consulted.

The tragedy of Ontario lies in that our health officials are, in fact, accidental people in positions of power during the worst recent emergency in Canadian history—a state of emergency they converted into a deep disaster that will leave a scar in Canada's history.

To get out of this disaster, we must never again listen to their recommendations officially.
