Chipiuk Law lawyer Eva Chipiuk said Canadian Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam is going against the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of health. .“I would argue that the picture of Dr. Tam and her recommendations below conflict with the WHO definition of ‘health’ above,” tweeted Chipiuk. .“How much psychological and social harm is caused simply by Dr. Tam‘s picture, being Canada’s top doctor sitting by herself, in front of a camera with a mask?”.The WHO defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”.Tam had encouraged people to get more doses of the new Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and to wear masks during respiratory season even if they were not sick. .Chipiuk asked how much fear was imposed on the public affecting their physical and mental health over the last three years..She questioned why these public health agencies do not talk about the physical aspects of health in a proactive sense with diet and exercise versus the reactive sense with vaccine and mask mandates. .When public health bodies direct their attention to disease control or allow it to be a driving force, the WHO would consider it unhealthy. .Chipiuk acknowledged she expects they promote and improve the health and wellness of the public. .Through their efforts, she said they should be “creating a healthier society and empowering individuals to lead better lives.” They should not make people worse off, fearful and vulnerable. .“I believe #Canada deserves better,” she said. .Health Canada authorized the use of a Moderna Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine targeting the Omicron XBB.1.5. subvariant for people six months of age and older on Tuesday. .READ MORE: UPDATED: Health Canada approves Moderna COVID-19 vaccine targeting Omicron subvariant.Health Canada received Moderna’s submission for its new COVID-19 vaccine in June.
