Black-Eyed Evil Witch From The Get Go. Theresa Tam is the Head of Canada's Public Health Agency

Theresa Tam is the head of Canada's Public Health Agency. In a 2010 documentary, she talks about a future outbreak scenario where people refusing vaccinations will be round up and placed in detention centres. The dystopian fiction from back then is today's reality.

GAVI, the vaccine alliance

In May 2019, Seth Berkley, CEO of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance stated that "doubts about vaccines have spread across social media like a disease and false information that “kills people” should be taken down by the companies running digital platforms". Stating that there was a "strong scientific consensus about the safety of vaccines", he said skepticism should be though of as a disease. "This is a disease,” Berkley said. “This spreads at the speed of light, literally.” Misinformation about vaccines, which the WHO says save two million lives annually, was not a freedom of speech issue and social media firms need to take it offline, Berkley said.

At the same conference, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam said health authorities needeed to “up our game”, adding that she was working with Twitter, Facebook, Google and other tech companies.
