Timeline

2022

In June 2022, Schabas participated as a speaker in a retrospective seminar titled A Citizens' Hearing in Toronto, Ontario, evaluating the public health and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.

2021

In January 2021, Schabas criticized Ontario's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the COVID-19 lockdowns the province has put in place. He called Ontario's lockdown response to COVID-19 "misguided", claiming that "Lockdown was never part of our planned pandemic response nor is it supported by strong science". Schabas also voiced his support for Ontario Member of Provincial Parliament Roman Baber, who sent a letter to Premier of Ontario Doug Ford calling for the end of COVID-19 lockdowns.

2020

In a March 2020 article in The Globe and Mail, Schabas opined that based on the number of cases and deaths, COVID-19 "does not register as a dire global crisis".

In a May 2020 interview with TVOntario, Schabas argued that schools should be open during the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that "the opening of the schools or keeping the schools open shouldn’t be a negotiable thing. It is absolutely fundamental, and that’s a starting point."

2016

On October 5, 2016, in a meeting at the Board of Health, Medical Officer of Health (MOH), Schabas announced that he would retire in December 2016, including him retiring from clinically practising Internal Medicine at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. He decided to retire due to being healthy, having the finances to retire, wanting to spend more time with his grandchildren, and due to him feeling that public health had lost "some of the sense of purpose and direction" Schabas felt it once had. Schabas also claimed that public health was "losing its independence from the political system."

2015

In January 2015, Schabas argued that Ontario needed to change its approach on how to handle Influenza, recommending the province focus on immunizing high risk patients, better surveillance of the flu to better prepare for flu seasons, and being more transparent on the efficacy of the Influenza vaccine. He also suggested that the flu vaccine is not as effective as it was once thought to be.

2006

In August 2006, Schabas argued that the threat of H5N1 avian flu becoming a pandemic was being over-exaggerated by both experts and the media. Additionally, Schabas argued that "The real lesson of SARS is that it disappeared like the morning dew, not because of draconian measures like quarantine" and that SARS "is a zoonotic disease, which is not very infective between humans, and is easy to control."

1990

An editorial from the Toronto Star published on February 9, 1990 implied that if the proposal were to be developed further into legislation and enacted into law, it would end up being used much more broadly than its original intent, with the potential to quarantine any HIV positive individual or individuals with HIV engaging in consensual sex. Schabas corrected this characterization in a letter to the editor on February 14, 1990, in which he states

1987

Schabas served as the Chief Medical Officer of Health for the province of Ontario from 1987 to 1997, the longest serving individual in that position before or since. During Schabas' tenure, Charles Ssenyonga, who was living in London, Ontario, was accused of negligently infecting up to 10 women with HIV across southern Ontario from the late 1980s to the early 1990s through sexual intercourse without their knowledge of his HIV positive status. Ssenyonga was charged with aggravated assault and criminal negligence, one of the first AIDS related charges in Canada, but died before the completion of his trial.

1970

In the 1970s, Schabas earned his medical license and entered public health training.

1951

Richard Schabas, M.D. (born December 1951) is a retired public health physician who served as the Chief Medical Officer of Health in Ontario from 1987 to 1997. Schabas also served as the Head of Preventive Oncology at Cancer Care Ontario from 1997 to 2001 and served as chief of staff at York Central Hospital from 2002 to 2005 during the 2002-2004 SARS outbreak. In 2005, he became the public health officer of Hastings, Ontario and Prince Edward, Ontario and remained in this position until his retirement in 2016. In 2021, Schabas criticized the Ontario government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
