# Facebook post 1FwKXUxttX / B.C. FOI HTH-2021-13807 — claim table

Updated: 2026-08-16

| Facebook claim | Evidence label | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| “Jan. 17, 2021: Henry is made aware of the first death in B.C. from the COVID mRNA injections.” | Real email, overstated framing | The FOI package contains a Jan. 17, 2021 “HEADS UP: CSC death” email thread. Henry says she is sad to hear of the death and copies AEFI/coroner contacts for coordinated reporting of deaths “temporally associated with vaccination.” The visible page does **not** establish this was “the first death in B.C.” or that the death was caused by vaccination; the underlying email says CSC did not consider the death linked to the vaccine at that time. |
| “Mar. 15, 2021: Henry saw the list of adverse events and injuries.” | Real AEFI count list, causation not proven | The FOI package contains a March 15, 2021 forwarded AEFI report to Henry with cumulative counts: Total AEFI 469, Serious AEFI 124, Anaphylaxis 79, Brighton anaphylaxis levels 1/2/3 46, Other allergic 189. AEFI means adverse event following immunization, not automatic proof the vaccine caused the event. |
| “Apr. 18, 2021: Henry speaks of trying to mitigate the damage of Hoffe’s letter; ‘We will work to mitigate the damage.’” | Date/quote mismatch | The FOI pages found are from April 8, not April 18. Henry’s visible reply says: “Talk to him first and then let us know whether this is something we should bring to the attention of the College.” The “mitigate” wording in the package is from Interior Health MHO Carol Fenton: “crafting a response with our communications department to try and mitigate the harm.” The exact Facebook quote “We will work to mitigate the damage” was not found in the OCR pass. |
| “May 4, 2021: Henry tells the public COVID mRNA injections are safe for pregnant women.” | Separate public-health guidance context; not located in cited FOI package | The FOI package text did not contain May 4/pregnancy wording. Canadian obstetric guidance later/reaffirmed that COVID-19 vaccination is recommended during pregnancy and that mRNA vaccines were preferred because more safety/effectiveness data existed; that is safety-context evidence, not proof that the Facebook post’s exact May 4 statement is in HTH-2021-13807. |
| Comment-thread claims that vaccines were “never safe/effective,” officials committed crimes, or all reports were censored | Not established by this post | The FOI package supports public-interest questions about AEFI awareness, reporting and communications. It does not by itself prove criminal conduct, broad vaccine causation for every event, or censorship of every report. |
