TORONTO, Ontario, January 20, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Ontario’s former top doctor told premier Doug Ford in an open letter on Monday that lockdowns are “misguided efforts to control Covid” and are “only compounding the tragedy.”
Dr. Richard Schabas, who served as Ontario’s chief medical officer of health from 1987-97 and who was chief of staff at York Central Hospital during the SARS crisis in 2003, told Ford in a Jan. 18 letter (read full letter below) that lockdowns are not supported by “strong science” and were never part of the province’s “planned pandemic response.”
“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.

The letter was released by Your Ontario Doctors, a group of frontline physicians who advocate for a patient-centered, sustainable, accessible and quality healthcare system.
