A small movement is calling for the ouster of Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer — an echo of FireFauci demands in the U.S.
Unlike most civil servants, public health officers are meant to speak directly to Canadians as credible, objective sources of scientific evidence and health advice, Fafard said. “By and large, it works. But Covid is different because… it’s lasting for a long period of time and [Tam] is in front of the camera every day, and most importantly, the science she’s relying on is now contested,” he said. “She’s become sort of the lightning rod for that.
Tam responded briefly to Sloan’s comments on Thursday, only to say that she hadn’t paid them much attention. “My singular focus is to work with all of my colleagues to get this epidemic wave under control,” she said. “I don’t let noise detract me from doing that.”
