Fear of Liability

Posted 21 May 2009 - 11:21am

"An important point is the fear of liability (at the legal and moral level) which perpetrates attitudes and actions. The protective psychological mechanism that comes into action when one knows deeply other people have been harmed, because of their negligence, or because they have been hiding behind the presumed lack of science, because they have minimized, belittled the issues, this mechanism which hides behind denial, camouflage, or aggression needs to be uncovered. Consequences need to be brought to the conscious level, for healing to take place, and prevention to take its role. Now people at governmental, industrial and academic level hide behind the oppressive properties of fear, fear of acknowledging what has happened."

Healthy Environments for Canadians

Posted 21 May 2009 - 12:32pm

This report's 244 page annotated bibliography on environmental effects on health includes articles about reactions affecting the central nervous system dating back to 1908. The report and bibliography were written by Bruce Small and Associates for Health and Welfare Canada in 1988.

Mission

The daily unnecessary killing of persons with sensitivities is, in duration, numbers affected, and extent of injury, one of the top five human rights abuses in Canadian history.

The Advocacy Gateway for Environmental Sensitivities was created to document the long mainstream history, and the contribution of various parties to the exclusion, injury and unnecessary killing of Canadians with environmental sensitivities. When complete, it will provide documents collected during more than thirty years.

Scientific, clinical and consumer experience date back centuries. Documents show that a 1985 Ontario Ministry of Health report about these disorders identified an existing, publicly insured method of diagnosis. They also show that various parties have misled the public about the availability of this diagnostic method for more than a quarter century, despite the legal ramifications concerning consequent preventable harm.

Politicians Betray

Posted 22 May 2009 - 2:48pm

Some politicians will quite casually lie in ways that cause thousands of deaths. Most will turn a blind eye to damaging statements from their party if doing otherwise means acknowledging previous liability. When told of harm caused by their colleagues, politicians such as Paul Dewar launch into an ad hominem defence, diverting attention while vulnerable persons continue to be needlessly killed.

Human Rights Officials Sabotage

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:13pm

Agencies of remedy exploit peoples' terror, telling persons with diagnosed sensitivities that they will be shunned unless they they help cover up agency mistakes that are contributing to the ongoing killing of persons with undiagnosed sensitivities. Bureaucrats like Jennifer Lynch occasionally acknowledge and deal with the accommodation of office workers, but they ignore federal government contributions to preventable Section 216 killings in government health facilities and Section 217.1 injuries there and elsewhere. The Canadian Human Rights Commission forwards a revisionist history that, like hate literature, encourages the commission of crimes against the group by disguising the extent of previous government acknowledgement and action on legal responsibilities.

Activists Instrumentalize

Some activists instrumentalizing persons with sensitivities to forward their own personal concerns, twisting the arguments to make their favourite issue the crucial one.

Physicians Equivocate

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:21pm

Some medical associations turn their backs on preventable harm being caused unnecessarily by their members, ignoring lethal attitude problems identified in government reports and by medical educators. The response of professionals, demonstrated by CMA Ethics Chair Bonnie Cham, reminds us that many physician groups vigorously opposed handwashing for decades after the evidence was in!

Even the Best Will Let You Down

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:44pm

In an environment of abuse by authorities, nearly everyone, including people you thought you could trust, survive as best they can, as often as not by betraying others to their deaths. Sometimes they call it "taking the high road." PSIO Ed Keyserlingk summarized a complaint as health officials "not doing enough to help" when in fact the complaint was that health officials were lying about the availability of a publicly-insured, legally-obligating method of diagnosing and thereby protecting patients from being injured or killed by acts of commission in government health facilities.

We have Seen the Enemy and They are Us!

Posted 22 May 2009 - 5:48pm

When human beings gather in groups such as the Environmental Health Associations in various provinces, they adopt ideas that violate people within and outside the group. Such violations are nearly always disguised as statements of concern that invisibilize the people who are being violated. The most seriously affected are betrayed by people with disposable time and income. The dead are betrayed by the living. By subjecting themselves to a reverse onus, by eclipsing their own history, the "cult of environmental medicine" does the same to all persons with sensitivities. Adults pave their way forward over the graves of children they are helping to kill.
