Retired emergency planner slams Covid response

Retired emergency planner Lt. Col. David Redman testified at the National Citizens Inquiry that the response to the Covid pandemic in Canada "immediately destroyed our rights and freedoms worse than any terrorist attack ever could have done."

April 28, 2023 - "A retired colonel testified his calls for an emergency management plan in response to COVID-19 were ignored. Lt. Col. David Redman, who spent 27 years’ serving his country, slammed Alberta’s response to the pandemic April 27 at the National Citizens Inquiry in Red Deer.

"Redman outlined the importance of Emergency Management Doctrinal Frameworks at the inquiry, and focused on the province’s response in the early days of COVID-19. He argued the aim of emergency management in a pandemic should be to 'minimize the impact of the disease on society' as a whole, rather than the medical system. Having lived through five pandemics since his birth in 1954, Redman said he hoped to see at least two more, but added \I never want to live through another pandemic managed like this one was'.... 'Public health is supposed to protect the citizens; the citizens aren’t supposed to protect public health,' he told inquisitors. 

"Redman also advocated the use of target-focused protection for a virus where the average age of death was 82, arguing suggestions over an equal risk to all ages were 'completely untrue.' Lockdowns, or non-pharmaceutical interventions, as Redman described them, caused 'massive collateral damage' — an issue known as early as September 2019 thanks to a 60-page report from the World Health Organization prior to the pandemic.

"'There should have been a written plan issued through the mainstream media to every citizen [of] every province saying how the premier was going to lead the response to the pandemic and inviting feedback from the citizens,' Redman explained. 'We discarded emergency management, and it cost us dearly.' 'They [public health] immediately destroyed our rights and freedoms worse than any terrorist attack ever could have done.'"

Colonel says mainstream media acted as 'ministries of propaganda' during COVID | Western Standard - Shay Bottomley: 

Apr 27, 2023 - "The mainstream media acted as 'ministries of propaganda' during the COVID-19 pandemic, a former colonel told an inquiry. Retired Lt. Col. David Redman, who was tasked with writing emergency management plans, specifically called out CBC, CTV and Global News, and said they worked with the federal government 'on the wrong side of the propaganda curve'.'

"Redman made the comments at the National Citizens Inquiry into COVID-19 ... in its second day of hearings in Red Deer. 'From the beginning of this pandemic, the mainstream media became, in my opinion, ministries of propaganda for the government of Canada and the premiers of Canada,' Redman said. 'They stopped becoming, in any way, investigative journalists.'

"In February 2021, Redman appeared on the Western Standard-produced Danielle Smith Show, an appearance which encouraged an unnamed reporter to contact him to arrange a two-hour interview for a documentary. Following the interview at Redman’s home, the reporter 'ghosted' Redman for four months, despite the latter providing further documents to help assist the investigation. It was only when Redman received a handwritten letter delivered to his home that he discovered the reporter had been coerced into halting production. 'Please never mention my name, please never admit I never did this interview,” [sic] read the note. Redman added he could see 'terror in his handwriting and his words that people were shutting him up.'

"'Sixty per cent of our population still believe lockdowns work, and vaccines were the only way out of the pandemic, and that’s because of the mainstream media,' Redman added."
