WSIB spokesperson Christine Arnott said the fine imposed is a “drop in the bucket for Amazon” and would not be an effective deterrent.

“We need all companies – especially large ones like Amazon – to protect their employees by properly reporting claims. And if they don’t, they need to know they will be penalized harshly,” she said.

In his October, 2023 decision, Justice of the Peace Mangesh Duggal said he landed on a $30,000 fine for the late-reporting violation because Amazon had improved its internal communication systems in the wake of the case and had been strained by COVID testing and mitigation at the time of the incident. The ruling also said Amazon was typically diligent in its accident reporting procedures.

The maximum penalty for a late-reporting offence is $500,000.

The Carter Center (cited by that BBC piece) is funded by various western governments including the US, as well as CIA-affiliated regime-change orgs like the National Endowment for Democracy. They are not a neutral party.

The "pro-Kremlin" smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

Covid-19 social distancing was not based on scientific data, Fauci admits in c/[email protected]

[–] NightOwl 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This article is literally quoting the official press release of the committee's chairman:

https://oversight.house.gov/release/wenstrup-releases-statement-following-dr-faucis-two-day-testimony/

Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating “it sort of just appeared.”

Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.
