Dr. David Fisman has resigned from the Ontario Government’s advisory body known as the Science Table alleging political interference in the kind of information the board is making public. He also says there is a “grim” forecast circulating among Science Table doctors. Others deny that and Dr. Fisman doesn’t say just what he means by grim. Most laymen will find political interest in what the doctors are doing to be understandable. It’s an enormous issue of public importance. And very few people like the shutdown, even those who understand why it’s necessary. The most critical issue is Dr. Fisman’s “grim” alarm bell. What’s it mean? CBC
