- Elston ditched Thomson Report. Caplan ignored provincially appointed Judge and physicians who deemed that the Ministry of Health’s position was “clearly untenable” and “causing preventable harm”.
- Gigantes, Lankin and Grier ignored “duty of care” responsibilities identified by Thomson, Health and Welfare (HWC), Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) and others. NDP eclipsed mainstream knowledge behind a legitimate but separate debate about fringe ideas.
- Diane Marleau tossed protections encouraged under Epp, Beatty and Bouchard and by others. Health Canada started invisibilizing work done prior to 1993. Attorney General Allan Rock ignored representation by Deputy Attorney General. Health Minister Allan Rock ignored consumer representations, duty of care issues.
- Harper elected: criminalization of dissent, denigration of science and ethics, general ignorance and abusiveness of political staff.
*These are conservative estimates, based on:
1. The FDA quotes figures which, when proportioned for Canada, suggest that 11,000 Canadians are killed by adverse drug events every year, roughly half as inpatients. That’s 30 per day.
2. The AAAAI says that 5-10% of ADR’s result from allergies.
3. Allergies constitute only a portion of sensitivities.
4. Caress and Steinemann and others, including the US National Academy of Science say that 10-15% of the population has sensitivities to the extent that they cause disability.
5. These figures to not take into account that persons who experience ADR’s are at increased risk of having sensitivities. Health Canada and others decided in the 1980’s that, in part due to the negative reaction of the rest of medicine to some of the flakier ideas of “clinical ecology”, sensitivities are hugely under diagnosed.
6. At least a half-dozen (6) adverse drug reaction deaths per day are Canadians whose sensitivities are undiagnosed but could have been, an important portion of perhaps 30 daily Canadian adverse drug event deaths. Whatever the exact totals, undiagnosed sensitivities are an obvious factor in adverse reactions.
7. These figures do not include the deaths of persons in other high risk groups, such as women in eating disorder clinics, or the suicides of persons whose central nervous system problems are caused or exacerbated by sensitivities who have been ploughed under by hateful attitudes in health care. For that figure, add a few more Canadian deaths per day.
