Open Letter to Dr. Brent Roussin
Chief Provincial Public Health Officer of Manitoba (5 min read)

Manitoba’s newest public health orders, which came into full effect on December 6, 2021, and again on Dec 21st (just in time to wreck Christmas) are glaring examples of this province’s contempt for the science which should inform their decision-making policies concerning Covid 19.
A study published on October 15th, 2021 by Science Direct, in the journal, Water Research, demonstrates that properly chlorinated swimming pool water effectively inactivates SARS-CoV-2 within 30 seconds: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004313542100912X?dgcid=coauthor 1
In an article on Swim England’s website, https://www.swimming.org/swimengland/swimming-pool-water-inactivates-covid19-virus/ , respiratory virus expert and the study’s lead virologist, Professor Wendy Barclay, reports:
“By mixing the virus with swimming pool water … we could show that the virus does not survive in swimming pool water: it was no longer infectious.
“That, coupled with the huge dilution factor of virus that might find its way into a swimming pool from an infected person, suggests the chance of contracting Covid-19 from swimming pool water is negligible.”
These results are completely unsurprising; it’s the very reason we add chlorine to pool water. Even here in Manitoba …https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/environmentalhealth/protection/pool.html
Nevertheless, Dr. Roussin’s response? PUNISH THE UNVACCINATED by banning them form swimming pools.
Your orders have nothing to do with health or science, Dr. Roussin, but whatever ulterior motives lie at the heart of your decision-making bias, only you can answer what those are.
And now that the tables are turning and the fully vaxxed comprise about 50% of active hospitalizations and over 70% of new cases, are you going to punish them too, particularly since, as per a recent study published in The Lancet, peak viral loads of Covid-infected vaccinated individuals are virtually neck-in-neck with Covid infected unvaccinated individuals?2
Neither you, nor Premier, Heather Stefanson, nor our new Minister of Health, Audrey Gordon are fit to lead this province. If any of you cared one whit about the people here, you would have approved Ivermectin as a treatment for Covid 19 long ago3. As it stands, the blood of everyone who died without it is on this government’s collective hands:

It took me all of 5 minutes to discover the study on chlorinated pool water, Dr. Roussin. What’s your excuse? Perhaps, for the over $400,000/year taxpayers are paying you for your “essential job”, instead of spending your days devising new ways to punish anyone who won’t take a vaccine that is so ineffective, no vaccinated person can take the risk of coming into contact with the virus (despite this being the very reason one takes a vaccine), you could focus on the science? You, who swears, who takes an oath every time you sign a public health order, by which you foist your confirmation bias, aka beliefs, on the rest of us:
I, Dr. Brent Roussin, Chief Provincial Public Health Officer, believe that …
It’s time to come clean, Dr. Roussin. Or are you like Pilate, washing your hands of your orders?
Calling you to account,
Mary Barton
