Reflecting on leaving the Ford government, Dr. Fullerton writes, "During my time in politics I learned what it meant to have my professional voice silenced. It seemed my medical background and experience at times was considered unhelpful. Politics trumped medicine."
Reflecting on leaving the Ford government, Dr. Fullerton writes, "During my time in politics I learned what it meant to have my professional voice silenced. It seemed my medical background and experience at times was considered unhelpful. Politics trumped medicine."
“I also had a better understanding that the decision-making circles within government and its agencies have too many health administrators, officials, and industry lobbyists and too few doctors and front-line medical professionals,” Dr. Fullerton writes.
@CharliePinkerto Bottom line … Fullerton stayed. And technically oversaw the deaths of >4K seniors who died of covid while in ON LTC. This book is an attempt to soften history’s view of her role. Not having it. Doubt many will.
@CharliePinkerto She had a voice at the table and she allowed herself to be silenced by her political masters. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. She should have resigned if she felt constrained. She should have made this conflict public, especially if it pertained to PH.
@CharliePinkerto Her voice was not silenced, she chose to allow people to suffer and die rather than use it. If she's looking for a pity party it won't be in this world. She and the whole Progressive Conservatives Caucus of the day should be rotting in jail. Merrilee Fullerton has no shame.
@CharliePinkerto Oh puhleeeaase. This is Dr. Death’s attempt at whitewashing her legacy. She could’ve advocated harder, blew the whistle, helped improve conditions for those seniors and she did nothing. Well, except now try to monetize her story, at the expense of the dead. Absolutely shameless.
@CharliePinkerto Waiting until after you're out of office to talk about interference isn't displaying integrity, it's CYA to avoid going down with everyone else. Amanda Simard set a standard cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… especially if you know it will lead to harm
@CharliePinkerto Too late too late, she could cross the floor and supported the science table. She can’t rewrite history now.
@CharliePinkerto How many of your friends or relatives died of COVID during those dark days? Let's start posting their names for Merrilee Fullerton. A woman with no heart, feelings or compassion who chose to let people die rather than stand up to Ford. Does she still have a Medical licence?
