Week of June 14, 2024
1. Calgary Lougheed UCP MLA Eric Bouchard and CA President Darrell Komick have brought together an all-star line-up of specialized medical educators and speakers including Dr. David J. (Speaker) Speicher, Dr. Eric Payne, Dr. Chris Shoemaker, Dr. Byram Bridle, Dr. Jessica Rose, Dr. William Makis, Dr. Mark Trozzi, MLA Shane Getson, host Shaun Newman and guests, to deliver a hard-hitting Town Hall with relevant data, research and victim statements.
The Injection of Truth event scheduled for Monday, June 17th, however, has drawn the ire of some health professionals in Alberta even before the event has taken place. 129 individuals signed a letter to the Alberta Premier requesting that “the Premier and Minister of Health permit Alberta’s public health leaders to make publicly available the evidence on COVID-19 mRNA vaccine safety and effectiveness in children, and address any concerns the public has raised.” The letter was endorsed by the Board of the Alberta Public Health Association and the Community Health Nurses of Canada – Alberta Branch.
The request seems disingenuous in that while it asks for evidence on the vaccines safety and effectiveness, it declares that those professionals scheduled to present at the Injection of Truth event on Monday are: “discredited and unlicensed doctors and spokespersons who cater to an anti-science agenda” and “The upcoming UCP-sponsored event is an example of the fear-mongering by anti-vaccination proponents transmitting fringe opinions informed by hearsay and innuendo” without the benefit of having heard their testimony.
The author of the substack – following the covid science responded with: “The sad reality appears to be that those who are trying to hold fast in support of the “safe and effective” narrative appear not to have received the memo yet that the gig is up. We need to follow where the evidence leads us, even if that means letting go of some of the pillars that have long grounded our perceptions of illness prevention.”
The event is sold out and virtual screening are being organized. The substack author also heavily reference the recent NCI hearings in Regina in his rebuttal to the 129 health professionals.

2. In a victory for health freedom advocates, New York lawmakers failed to pass a bill that would have required healthcare providers to report the immunizations of adults ages 19 and up to the New York City Department of Health vaccine registry, unless the patients opted out. Under existing law, those over age 19 can consent to opt into the database, otherwise healthcare providers are not allowed to report the immunizations. The proposed legislation would have replaced the “opt-in” system with an “opt-out” system, meaning a patient would have to intentionally opt-out of the reporting of their immunization status. The proposed bill died just weeks after lawmakers withdrew a bill that would have allowed children to receive vaccines, drugs and surgical procedures without parental consent, as it was deemed that such bills were politically risky in an election year.

3. In response to an order paper question from Conservative MP Colin Carrie, Canada’s parliamentary secretary to the health admitted they were never certain COVID-19 vaccines prevented transmission. The health agency also affirmed that despite being informed of a lack of evidence suggesting that vaccine mandates would reduce transmissibility, the government nonetheless implemented its vaccine mandate policies. This is clear evidence that the Health Minister imposed vaccine mandates under the justification it prevented infection and transmission, all the while knowing he did not have evidence to support this claim.

4. French President Emmanuel Macron has dissolved the French National Assembly and called for a snap election as the right-wing National Rally party heads to a sweeping victory in European Union (EU) parliamentary elections. The decision comes as the National Rally Party—the party of Mr. Macron’s two-time presidential rival, Marine Le Pen—looks to be on track for a stunning rout of Mr. Macron’s Renaissance Party in the European Parliament. Macron was a strong proponent of vaccine mandates.
5. In a ground breaking decision, the Ninth Circuit Court in the US has cracked open the door to government officials, school districts, local governments, and other public entities being held liable for the injuries caused by their COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The court’s ruling in Health Freedom Defense Fund, Inc. v. Carvalho suggests that if the COVID-19 vaccines are shown not to prevent transmission, only reduce symptoms for the recipient, then officials who forced them on individuals as a condition of keeping their jobs, staying in school, etc., may find themselves in the legal crosshairs.
The plaintiffs contended that the COVID-19 vaccine should not be classified as a vaccine given it doesn’t prevent disease transmission or provides immunity. Instead, they argued that the COVID-19 vaccine merely mitigates symptoms, making it a medical treatment rather than a preventive measure. This distinction, they claimed, meant that the mandate interfered with their fundamental right to refuse medical treatment. If the plaintiffs’ allegations are substantiated, it could call into question the legal justification for such mandates and potentially expose these entities to liability.

6. An appeals court last week ruled in favor of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), finding that the federal government’s now-defunct Disinformation Governance Board coordinated with several medical boards to stifle doctors’ free speech on social media platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ruling stems from a lawsuit the AAPS brought in July 2022, alleging the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology and the American Board of Family Medicine, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), censored and chilled the speech of physicians who expressed views critical of the government’s stance on issues such as COVID-19, lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccines and abortion.
The AAPS also claimed the medical certification boards, which hold monopolies in their respective specialties, threatened to strip physicians of their licenses for expressing dissenting opinions, making it difficult for them to practice medicine.
In May 2023, the District Court dismissed the case, ruling the AAPS lacked standing to bring its claims against the medical boards and that the claims against DHS were moot due to the suspension and final dissolution of its controversial Disinformation Governance Board in 2022.
But the 5th Circuit said the AAPS properly claimed an injury through the alleged silencing of “willing speakers” who may have been intimidated by the medical boards’ threats and that the AAPS therefore has the right to pursue its First Amendment claims.
7. A Huge new Oxford study (30,000+ child) finds no benefit from Covid injections for children, but vaccinated children were more likely to need hospitalization. “The only conclusion from this study is that for children, the Covid vaccines were UNSAFE, INEFFECTIVE & unnecessary – and caused harm. On the results this study, the vaccines should have never been approved for children.”

8. ‘The Dam Has Broken’: Mainstream Media Reports on Study Showing COVID Vaccines Likely Fueled Rise in Excess Deaths. Data from 47 countries in the Western world showed excess mortality has remained high for the last three consecutive years, according to a study published Monday in BMJ Public Health. The authors called for a thorough investigation.
