It's downright naive to think that a provincial medical officer is bound only by the truth and that there are no other interests influencing them. Just look at Fauchi in the US. He started off sane and reasonable, and then gradually did a 180 and started agreeing with the Democrat doomsayers on everything. Did that happen because Fauchi actually changed his medical opinion on masks, transmission rates, and everything else? And that those new opinions all just coincidentally aligned with what the electioneering Democrat fearmongers were pushing? Or is it more likely Fauchi was influenced by those people behind the scenes?

Everything is suspect once it becomes political.
