  • Dr Schabas Former on CMO Open Letter to Premier Ford Jan 18 2021
    Dr. Richard Schabas, MD, MHSc, FRCPC January 18, 2021 Premier Doug Ford 111 Wellesley Street West Toronto, ON M7A 1A8 Dear Premier Ford: I served as Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health from 1987 to 1997. I helped train many current medical officers, including Dr. Williams and was Chief of Staff at York Central Hospital during the 2003 SARS crisis. On January 15, 2021, MPP Roman Baber sent you a public letter calling on your Government to change course on Covid. MPP Baber made five key points and I believe he was correct on all five items. First, reasonable estimates of the infection fatality rate (IFR) from Covid have been declining as we learn more. Outside of Long Term Care, the risk of dying if you are infected with Covid is probably less than 0.2% overall and deaths are concentrated in the frail elderly. Younger people and healthy people have a much lower risk. Models that predicted hunreds of thousands of deaths from Covid in Canada were badly wrong because they used incorrect, exaggerated inputs. Second, lockdown was never part of our planned pandemic reponse nor is it supported by strong science. Lockdown has been used by almost every developed country and, in the great majority of cases, the lack of response speaks for itself. Two recent studies on the effectiveness of lockdown show that it has, at most, a small Covid mortality benefit compared to more moderate measures. Both studies warn about the excessive cost of lockdown. Third, there are significant costs to lockdowns – lost education, unemployment, social isolation, deteriorating mental health and compromised access to health care.
