Canadian doctors discuss COVID-19's lasting personal impact

Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic began, Canadian doctors reflect on its impact on their lives. Dr. Bonnie Henry from B.C. still requires security due to threats received during her public health role. The pandemic brought fame to health officials, but also backlash from those opposing health measures. Doctors like Henry, Lynora Saxinger, and Robert Strang emphasize the importance of clear communication to build public trust amid misinformation. While many interactions with the public have been positive, all three doctors faced significant online harassment. They continue to advocate for kindness and understanding as they navigate the ongoing effects of the pandemic.
