 In January 2022, Studin launched the [[Canada Science & Policy Committee to Exit the Pandemic]], aimed at "guiding the national exit strategy over the coming few months".((Studin, I. (2022, January 13). //The Canada Science & Policy Committee to Exit the Pandemic.// The Institute for 21st Century Questions. https://archive.ph/m08ST))
-The committee's focuses are to "bring together Canada’s medical-scientific and policy communities"; "change the psychology of the national discussion of the Covid-19 pandemic from the descriptive to the practical, and from the chaotic to the hopeful"; "give practical policy advice and briefings to exit the pandemic across all of the systems of state & society" (including "social fabric", "institutional structure", "national unity" and "international dynamics"; and "effectuate" several 'postular shifts' in "Canadian thinking about the pandemic and the exit strategy".

+He co-authored an article in Sri Lanka's [[Daily FT]] discussing the educational crisis caused by [[COVID-19]]-related [[covid-19_public_health_policy:school closures]], describing the situation as "biggest human catastrophe of the pandemic". Studin's stance is that the [[drive:02_-_pandemic_power_and_politics:sorted_research:economics_fallout|economic]] and [[public health]] crises are outweighed by the impacts of "third bucket" children being barred from attending school with as many as "half a billion" such children likely never to have the opportunity to complete their education without intervention.((Studin, I., & de Mel, T. (2022, January 20). //World’s first post-pandemic treaty must agree to never again close schools; South Asia can lead it.// Daily FT. https://archive.ph/CkdXZ))
+Two weeks earlier, the [[Toronto Sun]] published Studin's declaration that Premier [[covid-19_pandemic:politics:Doug Ford]] "has betrayed Ontario’s youth".((Studin, I. (2022, January 4). //STUDIN: Premier Ford has betrayed Ontario’s youth.// Toronto Sun. https://archive.ph/uNOGd)) Studin explains that Ontario alone has "possibly as many as 100,000" children out of schooling altogether. "If the very long, capricious school closures of last April, which Premier Ford scandalously described as 'indefinite,' showed that the premier had no felt understanding of the massive, complex education system he was collapsing, then this week’s new round of school closures — for 'two weeks' — suggest that the premier trades in a general nonchalance about the catastrophic human impacts of education deprivation on the two-million-strong student body of the country’s largest province."

+Interestingly, Premier Ford himself had painted a very different picture of the decision-making process surrounding [[COVID-19]] measures, including school closures. In a candid moment during a televised Q&A in March 2021, Ford had admitted that "There’s no politician in this country who’s gonna disagree with their chief medical officer. They just aren’t gonna do it. They might as well throw a rope around their neck and jump off a bridge. They’re done. I’m telling you the facts. It’s very simple.”((TruthVideos1984. (2021, May 11). //Premier of Ontario Doug Ford: “No Politician in Canada will go Against the Chief Medical Officer.”// BitChute. https://www.bitchute.com/video/fGKCOKFoAFfG/)) Karen Selick of the [[Western Standard]] described the incident by saying "for once, Ford looked like a real person who was actually saying what he believed."((Selick, K.
