NEWS RELEASE
Vaccine
Choice Canada (VCC), along with five individual mothers of children in
the school system, have launched an action, in the Superior Court of
Ontario, against the government of Ontario, challenging the
Constitutional Validity of the Immunization of School Pupils Act
and Ontario’s compulsory vaccine regime, and the mandatory
“education/information sessions”, and sworn Statement required, to
obtain an exemption from a vaccine, failing which a child will be
suspended, expelled, and/or not registered.
The Plaintiffs state that this regime:
- Violates their right to freedom of conscience, belief, religion and thought under s.2(a) and (b) of the Charter.
- Violates
the rights to life, liberty and security of the person in depriving
them of the recognised constitutional right to make decisions over their
physical and psychological integrity and autonomy under s.7 of the Charter.
- Violates the right against compelled speech, under s.2(b) of the Charter
in being forced to sign, under oath, a Statement with which they
disagree, and for which there is no conclusive proof, in being forced to
acknowledge that to not vaccinate places their children at risk of
physical injury or death.
- Violates
their constitutional right to informed medical consent in that the
“education sessions” mention nothing of the risk of severe injury and
death, from vaccines, which is recognised and undisputed in all G-7
countries, except Canada, in the establishment of compensation funds for
vaccine-injured and killed. Quebec is the only Canadian jurisdiction to
have such a compensation fund.
- Violates and interferes with the parent-child relationship which is constitutionally protected under s.7 of the Charter as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada.
- Violates the child’s right to Education which has been recognised as a constitutional right in Canada, under s.7 of the Charter, as well as in international law, which binds Canada.
The
Plaintiffs state that the vaccine regime in Ontario is draconian, and
violates a person’s rights to informed medical consent and choice, over
matters of if, when, and what vaccines a child is to receive. This
decision is not the state’s to make, on a blitz basis, but on a
case-by-case basis with respect to the health, circumstances and
propensities and predisposition of the child, by the parent with medical
consultation. This is particularly so, when the inserts (warnings) of
the vaccines, provided by the vaccine manufacturers themselves,
specifically
warn of dire and severe injury and side effects, up to and including
death, which vaccine manufacturers’ warnings the government, its health
officials, and school officials, ignore, supress, and deny without
basis.
A protest and press conference are being held, at Queen’s Park, Tuesday, October 29th,
at 10:30 am, to remind the government to conduct itself in accordance
with the dictates of the Constitution and not just be a peddler for the
corporate interests of the $60 billion vaccine industry, predicted to
reach $100 billion by 2020, without regard to the particular health and
needs of the individual child.

may be directed at legal counsel on the action: Rocco Galati, Rocco
Galati Law Firm Professional Corp, at 416-530-9684.
