The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), is gearing up for National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week 2023 to be held March 20-26.
81,230 drug overdose deaths occurred during the 12 months from May 2019 to May 2020, the largest number of drug overdoses for a 12-month interval ever recorded for the U.S.
Fentanyl is now the number one cause of overdose deaths in the country, surpassing heroin by a large margin.

Secretive data, strangely given to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) by the Australian Government confirms the first 38 weeks of the year 2021 saw a shocking 1,452% increase in excess deaths following the rollout of the Covid-19 injections compared to the same period in 2020.
Unfortunately, as the months passed, the situation only worsened.
By 2022, the nation was hit by a devastating blow, with a shocking 5,162% increase in excess deaths in the first 38 weeks of the year following the repeat rollout of the Covid-19 injections compared to the first 38 weeks of 2020, at the alleged height of the pandemic.
But instead of the people of Australia being in shock and disbelief at this devastating increase in excess deaths, they are carrying on with their lives, none the wiser as to what has happened.
Why?
Because their Government and their Mainstream Media refuse to tell them the truth and instead fill their heads with propaganda and lies on a daily basis.
Australia suffered 11,068 excess deaths in 2021 and then a shocking 22,730 excess deaths by week 38 of 2022. This is in stark contrast to 2020, when only 1,306 excess deaths were recorded during the alleged height of the Covid pandemic and prior to the rollout of the Covid injections.
This means Australia suffered a shocking 1,640% increase in excess deaths in just 38 weeks throughout 2022 compared to 53 weeks throughout 2020.
But if we compare the data available on excess deaths in 2022 against the first 38 weeks of 2020 and the first 38 weeks of 2021, we are able to reveal the true severity of the situation in Australia.
As we know, Australia suffered a shocking 22,730 excess deaths by week 38 of 2022.
But according to the same data provided by the Australian Bureau of Statistics to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), Australia suffered 6,706 excess deaths by week 38 of 2021, and only 432 excess deaths by week 38 of 2020.
This means Australia suffered a shocking 1,452% increase in excess deaths in the first 38 weeks of 2021 following the rollout of the Covid-19 injections compared to the first 38 weeks of 2020, at the alleged height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and prior to the rollout of a single Covid-19 injection.
But the above numbers pale in comparison to the tragic situation that unfolded throughout 2022.
Australia suffered a shocking 5,162% increase in excess deaths in the first 38 weeks of 2022 following the repeat rollout of the Covid-19 injections compared to the first 38 weeks of 2020, at the alleged height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and prior to the rollout of a single Covid-19 injection.
These aren’t independent estimates. They are official Government of Australia authorized figures. And further figures published by the UK Government strongly suggest Covid-19 vaccination is the biggest contributing factor to this huge rise in excess deaths across Australia.
The very thing that you were told would end the alleged pandemic and put a stop to the alleged huge rise in deaths across the world in 2020, has ended up having the opposite effect.
Instead of reducing deaths, COVID vaccination has increased deaths exponentially.
Table 2 of the report contains the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status by age group for deaths per 100,000 person-years in England up to May 2022.
And that table reveals that mortality rates per 100,000 are lowest among the unvaccinated in every single age group.
The following two charts show the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status for non-Covid-19 deaths in England between January and May 2022 for each age group –
(You can read a full investigation of the above figures broken down by age group here.)
These figures prove that the Covid-19 vaccines are not effective and are causing side effects so severe that they are resulting in increased mortality.
This should be of serious concern to everyone, especially those who have been vaccinated.
And it should be on the front page of every newspaper, and the main topic of discussion on every news channel.
The science is definitive, and authorities and Governments should withdraw the Covid-19 vaccines from future use with immediate effect.
If they do not do this then they are proving to the public that they have an ulterior motive to reduce the world’s population.
Because this is precisely what will happen if the repeat rollout of these experimental and dangerous injections is allowed to continue.
(Natural News) Official numbers published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a government-run institution in the United Kingdom, show that by the time June 1, 2022, arrived, one in every 73 people in England who got “vaccinated” for the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) had perished – this compared to just one in every 172 unvaccinated Brits.
In every single age group, the data shows that the mortality rate is highest among those who took the jab(s) and lowest among those who just said no to the experimental drugs and instead relied on their own natural immunity for protection.
Keep in mind that for many months prior to the data release, the UK government denied even calculating it, let alone possessing it. Now, suddenly, the truth is finally coming out, thanks to a Freedom of Information request, that the death jabs are, in fact, taking lives at an astoundingly high rate.
(Related: In 2021 at the height of covid, an America’s Frontline Doctors attorney filed a lawsuit against the United States government over 45,000 covid “vaccine” deaths that had been identified at that time.)
Nearly six times as many vaccinated people died in England compared to unvaccinated
The largest independent producer of official statistics and the premier recognized national statistical institute of the UK, the ONS published a dataset last July containing a host of deeply disturbing data on deaths by vaccination status through England between Jan. 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022. This data shows that following covid injection, 41,117 people died “with covid” after having been jabbed for it. Another 565,420 people died “without covid,” also after having gotten jabbed for the alleged virus.
All in all, some 606,537 people died after getting injected for covid, which is far more than the 109,891 unvaccinated people in England who died during the same timeframe.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) published its own data on overall vaccine uptake in England, revealing that 18.9 million Brits just said no to covid shots while 63.4 million others, sadly for them, just said yes. Based on this, we can calculate the rate of death among the two groups, which is starkly contrasting.
“The official figures unfortunately confirm that mortality rates per 100,000 are the lowest among the unvaccinated population in every single age group in England,” reported The Exposé. “And the data reveals the gap between the unvaccinated and vaccinated populations in terms of mortality rates is widening by the month.”
“There is no other conclusion that can be found for the fact mortality rates per 100,000 are the lowest among the unvaccinated other than that the Covid-19 injections are killing people … This is precisely why, according to the figures that the Government has made available, 1 in every 73 vaccinated people was dead by the beginning of June 2022 compared to just 1 in every 172 unvaccinated people.”
In the comments, someone pointed out that the deaths assigned as “covid” deaths in the official figures are “impossible to believe,” seeing as how they are “based on a fraudulent test and thus the ratio in favour of non vaccinated people in reality is far better” than even the data that we do have.
Another wrote that he basically gave up on trying to tell people who inherently trust the medical profession about any of this because they are already too deeply propagandized to listen to the truth.
“I just let them move ahead since by now they are fully vaxxed,” this person added. “One of my Air Force buddies who read me the riot act about the vaxs is now dying of 3 kinds of cancer no doubt brought on by his taking the vac’s and the boosters – I don’t mention it but I know that is what is happening.”

Massive study finds that vitamin D is helpful in protecting against covid infections and death.
Do you remember when years ago at the beginning of the pandemic, some people said it would be a good idea to take vitamin D and that it could possibly help against covid?
Of course, they were called conspiracy theorists and vilified. Especially those who talked about a certain “horse paste” were very much attacked by the media. No, only crazy people would take something like that. The science had spoken!
We would have to wait for some official new medicine from Pfizer to safely treat covid they said, a treatment that also happened to be very expensive and would make a lot of money…
As you probably know, more or less the only treatment we have been offered for covid is the mRNA vaccines, a technology that hasn’t been widely used before. Take the vaccine and you would not get covid they said.
It turns out there is in fact a very cheap, safe and effective thing that protects against covid – That thing is called vitamin D!
By the way, this article is so important that I will not be putting any kind of paywall on it even though it took me a long time to write, as the information here can help save lives. So please take a few seconds to make sure you follow me (it’s free) here on Substack, and share this article everywhere you can! Or if you want to support my work and help me write more important articles like this, please consider becoming a paid subscriber 🙂
A new study published in the prestigious Nature magazine has indeed found that vitamin D not only reduced your risk of getting infected with covid but also lowers the risk of death.
This study is no small study either. Over 600 000 U.S veterans took part in the study, so we are getting good reliable data here. And they used different versions of vitamin D, one called vitamin D2 and the other vitamin D3 and they both produced different results.
So what does the study show?
For the participants who got vitamin D3, there was a nice 20% reduction in getting infected with covid. For those who got vitamin D2, there was a large 28% reduction in covid infections.
Meaning that if you took vitamin D2, you would be almost 30% less likely to be infected by covid to begin with. That is huge.
But for those who took a very high-level dose of vitamin D, the reduction in covid infections was even higher. At an average daily dosage of 50 000 IU of vitamin D in people who had low levels to begin with, there was a 49% reduction in covid infections.
It turns out that the higher the vitamin D dosage, the lower the risk of infection. Interesting.
What about covid deaths?
Here is where things get very interesting indeed. Let’s begin by saying that among the untreated group, only 0.35% died from covid. So the death rate is pretty low to begin with. But there is a way to lower this death rate significantly…with vitamin D
For those who took vitamin D3, there was a massive 33% REDUCTION in deaths within 30 days after a covid infection.
Not only that but there was actually another study done in Andalusia which saw the exact same 33% reduction in deaths. Two different studies done in different places giving the same result? I think that is what we call real science!
So you reduce the risk of getting covid. You reduce the risk of dying after covid by taking vitamin D, a safe, effective and very cheap treatment. Why isn’t this all over the news? HELLO!?!?!
And it turns out that the effectiveness is dose-dependent, meaning that those who received higher doses had greater benefits than those who got smaller doses. But the group that saw the largest decrease in infection and mortality, was those who got a low dose of vitamin D compared with those who got no vitamin D at all. Now that might sound a little confusing, so let me explain. It means that taking even just a low dose of vitamin D gives you protection compared with not taking any at all. But taking even higher doses gives you even more benefits.
And get this, the people who had the most benefit from taking this were black people. The reason being is that dark-colored skin means it takes longer time to produce vitamin D from the sunlight compared with pale skin, so people with darker skin are more likely to be deficient in vitamin D. So it is especially important for black people to take vitamin D supplements.
So how many deaths could have been avoided if everyone took vitamin D?
It turns out that in the USA in just the year 2020 alone, there would have been 4 million fewer infections with covid, and a whopping 116 000 deaths could have been avoided – If only the politicians and the media had told us to take vitamin D to begin with.
Imagine how many deaths could have been avoided worldwide!
But no, those who talked about such things was called crazy conspiracy theorists and science deniers.
Not only does vitamin D work against covid, but it seems like it helps protect against other infections and viruses as well.
Read here what the authors of this study had to say in their conclusion.
“As a widely available, inexpensive, and safe treatment, vitamin D3 could be a helpful tool for reducing the spread of COVID-19 infection and related mortality”
Why aren’t doctors prescribing this stuff?
In Norway where I live, the doctors are pretty good and almost at every visit they have wanted to take blood tests for vitamin D levels. And they even prescribed me vitamin D! But elsewhere, it does not seem like doctors have been very interested in doing this. Now I wonder why…
In Britain, doctors got paid £15 (almost $18) from the government for each covid vaccine they give patients, and it only takes a few minutes to give a jab. That kind of money for a few minutes work, why would they prescribe vitamin D instead? Follow the money.
And this is nothing new!
In fact, we have known for a long time that vitamin D has been effective against covid, yet nobody in the media has been talking about it. Also, vitamin D has long been KNOWN to improve the immune system, so it makes perfect sense that it would protect against covid.
Yet nobody in the media told us this. No politician went out and informed us of this. Doctors didn’t tell us this. It was the so-called conspiracy theorists that first started talking about this. Only now, years later has the scientists finally admitted to what we knew from the beginning.
Instead, they have been pushing us all to take a new mRNA technology that hasn’t been in widespread use before, of course making billions in profit for Big Pharma. Not only that, but they pushed other treatments like Remdivisir. Meanwhile, the very cheap vitamin D has been completely overlooked.
I have been taking vitamin D in the winter ever since covid came and I’m doing fine. And I think it would be wise for everyone to get their vitamin levels checked in a blood test, the thing is, many people are deficient in vitamin D so it is likely that it would be smart to take some.
And please make sure to share this article everywhere you can, you never know. It might save someone’s life!
In unrelated news… A cruise ship in Australia just had 800 people onboard get infected with covid. What the media isn’t telling you is that everyone onboard had to be fully vaccinated AND tested. Very effective!
While the whole world went mad, closing schools, issuing mask orders and mandatory lockdowns, Sweden refused to listen to Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum and kept their society open. Fast forward to the end of 2022 and the data shows that Sweden made the right call.
Sweden was the only country in the world to have faith in the immune systems and common sense of their population. Now they are being rewarded with the lowest pandemic excess mortality rate in the world.
Sweden was the only developed country to keep their head, to paraphrase Rudyard Kipling, while all around them were losing theirs. It’s also worth noting the statistics from Africa. Only 6% of people are vaccinated, yet the virus is nowhere to be seen and, unlike in the Western world, excess deaths are not climbing.
Back in April 2020, Stuff reported on how Sweden was resisting ferocious pressure to lockdown from the international community, Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum.
Professor Johan Giesecke, who first recruited Tegnell during his own time as state epidemiologist, used a rare interview last week to argue that the Swedish people would respond better to more sensible measures. He blasted the sort of lockdowns imposed in Britain and Australia and warned a second wave would be inevitable once the measures are eased.
“The Swedish Government decided early in January that the measures we should take against the pandemic should be evidence based. And when you start looking around at the measures being taken by different countries, you find very few of them have a shred of evidence-base,” he said.
Giesecke, who has served as the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Control and has been advising the Swedish Government during the pandemic, told the UnHerd website there was “almost no science” behind border closures and school closures and social distancing and said he looked forward to reviewing the course of the disease in a year’s time.
“I think that the difference between countries will be quite small in the end,” he said. “I don’t think you can stop it. It’s spreading. It will roll over Europe no matter what you do.”
Giesecke was almost correct. But, the difference between the countries, in the end, was not quite small. Sweden did much, much better – ten times better than Chile, in fact, notorious for having the strictest lockdowns ‘despite’ also having one of the most ‘successful’ vaccination campaigns.
Joel Smalley reports: As of reporting date of June 19th 2022, of all the countries analysed by the OECD, Sweden has the lowest overall cumulative excess deaths tally.
The somewhat less meaningful Covid death tally (per million population) does not have the same relative magnitude since different countries use different methods for recording what is and what isn’t a Covid death, on top of the fact, of course, that it’s a Pyrrhic victory to mitigate Covid deaths at the expense of higher excess non-Covid deaths. Take a look at Canada and Israel as prime examples of this – remarkably low Covid deaths relative to the rest of the world but very much in the worst half of the dataset in terms of overall excess mortality.
So, Sweden even beat neighbour Norway in the end. And, as you can see in the charts below, Norway is still heading in the wrong direction. So too are early successes, in Australia and New Zealand. Their cumulative excess death tally has less Covid in it than other countries but they are getting their Covid add-ons now.
Here are the charts, plotting cumulative excess deaths vs Covid deaths. (Find the full set here.)
My analysis of each country leads me to three main conclusions.
First, Covid exists and is deadly for some. This is evident given the very strong and consistent correlations between weekly excess deaths and weekly reported Covid deaths. I think it is also important to accept this fact given that there is very little resistance now to the assertion that Covid was manufactured in a biolab. Those responsible for making it are responsible for the millions of deaths it has caused.
Secondly, experimental attempts at mitigating the spread of the virus through various ‘social distancing’ measures, including school and business closures, imprisoning healthy people in their homes, forced wearing of masks, etc. show very little evidence of benefit. Any specious evidence from prison islands (Australia and New Zealand) is ultimately proven futile as predicted by the world’s two best epidemiologists (Giesecke and Tegnell). The harms of these interventions are also apparent in the ultimate excess death numbers. Those responsible for implementing them should be held accountable for the deaths they have caused.
Thirdly, the only thing that could have made Covid worse was to put the same people responsible for making it in charge of making the antidote. It’s a bit like putting the arsonists in charge of fire policy after they have burnt down the city. But that’s what happened with Covid. It is abundantly clear that there is no reduction in Covid deaths as a result of the mass administration of the experimental ‘vaccine’. Moreover, as we should logically expect deficits in periods after excess mortality such as occurred in the nine months prior to the medical experiment, and greater protection from herd immunity, and the natural selection of less virulent variants, it is difficult to argue against the allegation that the experiment has somehow contributed to the perpetuation of Covid rather than its demise. This is further supported by the fact that Covid and excess deaths both taper off in line with society’s final realisation that they should take no further part in the experiment.
Perhaps next time, we should all be a bit more like Sweden? You know, like our lives depended on it? Not the bit about hurried medical experimentation though, we can leave that bit out.
Just the bit about letting people decide for themselves what actions they should take when faced with life.
It might just be me but I don’t think stupid politicians, greedy pharmaceutical companies and academics whose careers depend on pharma funding are the best people for the job.

CBC finally admitting rates of hospitalization and death are higher per capita for the “protected” as opposed to the “unprotected” and yet still they are concerned about vaccine hesitancy. They would rather you die or be hospitalized than get a cold/flu. pic.twitter.com/3x4M2stmQq
Across the population, Ed Dowd explains in the interview, excess mortality is running at about 32%. Around 7,700 Americans routinely die each day, and 32% of that comes to 2,400+ deaths per day. That’s only counting America. Global deaths are, of course, far higher.
Credible estimates of global deaths from covid-19 vaccines have been compiled by other analysts and experts, and they claim that at least 20 million people have already been killed worldwide from covid-19 vaccines, making the scale of this “vaccine holocaust” more than triple the size of the historical Holocaust atrocity.
Today we feature an interview with Ed Dowd, author of Unknown Causes: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022. Ed Dowd, along with his team of analysts, has assembled the most comprehensive and compelling data revealing excess mortality following the introduction of covid vaccines. His website where some of these results are presented is TheyLiedPeopleDied.com.
Today he joins me in an interview to discuss his findings, warning that sooner or later, the medical and scientific community will be unable to ignore the fact that over 2,400 Americans are dying each day — almost certainly from vaccines — which comes to about 900,000 Americans killed in a year.
Here’s just one chart from Ed Dowd that shows excess deaths following the introduction of covid-19 “vaccines” (experimental mRNA injections):

As govt and public health officials continue to dismiss, silence and attack doctors who speak about Covid-19 vaccine dangers, the number of sudden or unexpected deaths of Canadian doctors spikes to a new high of 90.
After 32 months, Sweden – the country that famously rejected lockdowns and school closures in spring 2020 – has the lowest cumulative excess mortality in the world, in a damning indictment of lockdown orthodoxy. https://t.co/DQuI3uX3p2
This is a heartbreaking watch. Yesterday the British Heart Foundation announced 30k excess cardiac deaths in England. Multi factorial for sure but we now have mechanistic,RCT & associational data linking the mRNA product to cardiovascular events. It’s likely a primary driver. https://t.co/Ei0KPBY2P8
The lockdown abusers and their enablers now call for an AMNESTY, but without confessing the damage they've done and asking for forgiveness. I don't want revenge, just justice at the fullest extent of the law!
Do not vote into public offices any Freedom deniers and their parties!

“Efficient? Currently, the authorities cannot explain certain official statistics including the many deaths by COVID in doubly or triply vaccinated people, sudden deaths in athletes as well as excess mortality statistics; this raises legitimate questions. Has the effectiveness of “vaccines” in healthy people really been demonstrated?
It is important to mention that novel, experimental, and mRNA vaccines, whose risk/benefit profile is unfavorable for young people and children in good health, benefit from a marketing authorization under a decree of emergency, even though there has never been an emergency in the pediatric population.”
The open letter is specifically addressed to Dr. Luc Boileau (public health director), Dr. Mauril Gaudreault (President of the Quebec college of physicians), and Dr. Marie-Claude Roy (President of the Quebec association of pediatricians) and was signed by 19 medical doctors, researchers, and pharmacists.
The letter was produced in collaboration with Réinfo Covid Québec, an arm of an international collective of 4,000 doctors and 80,000 members.
The group describes itself as a collective of caregivers, doctors and citizens gathered around an idea: the need for a fair and proportionate health policy in Quebec and elsewhere in the world.
In short, the Quebec chapter of the collective aims to provide a unified voice for doctors, health care professionals, and citizens to express their concerns and views regarding the Covid-19 pandemic health measures adopted in the province and its consequences – many of which they feel aren’t being equally shared and honestly discussed by traditional media and health authorities.
Though the open letter is quite lengthy and detailed, here are some of the principal contentions held therein [Google translated from French]:
“The physician’s personal and unavoidable duty, enshrined in his code of ethics, and from which he cannot escape, requires him to ensure that free and informed consent is obtained from the patient.”
“Free means without threat or constraint and, in the case of an investigational pharmaceutical product, without any promotion.”
“Informed means that the patient receives truthful, factual, complete and clearly expressed information.”
“An experimental product of gene manipulation was presented as a “vaccine like any other”. This product has been presented as a “safe and effective vaccine”.
“If we seek the support of the institutions that are the Public Health Department and the College of Physicians of Quebec (CMQ), it is in order to allow parents in Quebec to make free and informed decisions; decisions which, it should be mentioned, are irreversible.”
“Complete information, which includes all the dangers of a pharmaceutical product, is an unavoidable ethical obligation. What we have found as information communicated to parents in the context of anti-covid vaccines is ethically and scientifically insufficient, hence this text, which aims to better inform them.”
“Censorship that deprives parents of information essential to informed decision-making is unacceptable.”
“This text will also be sent to the media. Journalists or “decryptors” may want to comment on this information. They are free to do so. However, we ask them to disclose their sources and their possible conflicts of interest and to demand the same from all specialists they call to speak publicly as required by the journalistic code of ethics. Nothing less than the lives and health of children in Quebec are at stake.”
“Obligation to inform, Informed consent: Before prescribing or giving a treatment or a drug, the doctor, the government, or Public Health, in this case, has an ethical and legal obligation to provide the person with all the information relating to the product concerned. This is an unavoidable duty of physicians and it is also a legal obligation enshrined in the Civil Code of Quebec, articles 10 to 25. This obligation is inspired by the principle of “inviolability of the person” and his “right to the truth”.
“Freedom of choice: The person must have complete freedom to accept or refuse any pharmaceutical product without being rewarded or penalized for their choice. This is true for both adults and children.[1] As the gene vaccine against COVID-19 is an unlicensed experimental product authorized under the guise of public health emergency and which, moreover, has not been adequately tested in animals, there should be no promotion of this product, and, above all, there should be no adverse consequences for anyone who refuses. No pressure should be exerted on the person.[2] (See section 9).”
“Informed choice: no information should be hidden: For the choice to be informed, all available information (potential advantages and disadvantages, risks, uncertainties) must be provided and transmitted in understandable language. However, the highest authorities (Dr. Rochelle Walensky, CDC) have affirmed that the information on the gene vaccine cannot all be disclosed. In addition, the manufacturers of mRNA injections still refuse, even if their products are deployed on a global scale, to reveal the exact composition alleging that it is a trade secret. The authorities concerned, the World Health Organization, Public Health of Quebec, Health Canada, the College of Physicians of Quebec (CMQ), our governments (federal and provincial) have not required pharmaceutical companies to disclose the exact composition of their products. Consequently, it is impossible to obtain truly informed consent, which contravenes the fundamental principles of the CMQ.”
“Parent Consent and Responsibilities: Never has an experimental product been administered to human beings without full animal testing since the tragic drugs thalidomide[3] and DES[4] administered to pregnant women.”
“Children are not able to understand the information transmitted for consent to be considered truly “informed”. Thus, the parent who gives his authorization on behalf of his child must understand
1. that it is an irreversible intervention whose short and medium-term consequences are unknown and often underestimated, and whose long-term repercussions (including the risk of infertility) are unknown due to the absence of hindsight;
2. that he makes a decision on behalf of his child, considered incapable of deciding for himself, and that this is a long-term responsibility;
3. that this mRNA injection is a product that has never been used on a large scale in humans and is totally different from all the vaccines we have been used to. It is false to claim that this injection is a “vaccine like the others”.
“Risk/benefit balance: One must always ask whether the product has more advantages or more disadvantages (risks). We must also take into account the age and particularities of the child concerned. The studies carried out on children by the manufacturers did not meet the minimum criteria of validity (necessity, efficacy, and safety). These studies are scientifically insufficient and unsatisfactory. They have nevertheless been accepted by the FDA and by Health Canada. First of all, you have to know that the vast majority of children have already acquired a natural immunity against COVID-19 and then that children are very rarely seriously affected by the disease. In addition, it is now recognized by the CDC, since August 6, 2021, that this vaccination does not prevent either contracting the disease or transmitting it.”
“The benefits of this product for our children have not been satisfactorily explained, let alone demonstrated, by Public Health or the Government of Quebec. There are therefore unproven benefits, but the risks are indisputable and sometimes irremediable, thus subjecting children to unnecessary and unjustified danger.”
“Product not tested on animals? For a drug product to be approved, it must first have been tested in animals (mice, rats, and rabbits of both sexes and pregnant animals). In the climate of urgency surrounding this pandemic and in the rush to manufacture a “vaccine”, the manufacturer considerably shortened the crucial stage of animal testing, which would have taken several years for all phases to be completed. Complete studies of bio-distribution and toxicity normally required have also been neglected. The disastrous examples above of Thalidomide and DES causing fetal malformations, infertility, and vaginal cancers should have prompted us to be more cautious. It is important to mention that novel, experimental, and mRNA vaccines, whose risk/benefit profile is unfavorable for young people and children in good health, benefit from a marketing authorization under a decree of emergency, even though there has never been an emergency in the pediatric population.”
“Efficient? Currently, the authorities cannot explain certain official statistics including the many deaths by COVID in doubly or triply vaccinated people, sudden deaths in athletes as well as excess mortality statistics; this raises legitimate questions. Has the effectiveness of “vaccines” in healthy people really been demonstrated? [8]”
“Ethics: vaccinating children to protect adults??? The INSPQ affirms in its report intended for the Quebec government that it can be ethical to vaccinate children to protect the elderly and vulnerable. This logic of the INSPQ is all the more questionable as:
(1) It is not children who transmit COVID to the elderly, but adults who transmit it to children.
(2) “Vaccination” does not prevent either contracting the disease or transmitting it, and does so with the same intensity.”
“As a conclusion: We have attached ourselves to the obligation of truth and to the nature and extent of the information which must be transmitted to parents and which is essential for an informed decision-making concerning the inoculation of their child with an experimental product based on messenger RNA.”
“On the other hand, we believe that the Collège des médecins du Québec and the Direction de la santé publique could facilitate more informed decision-making by producing a document that is neither promotional nor propagandistic and which would include the information contained in the current.”
“In short, we, the signatories, are asking our indispensable regulatory institutions, the Direction de la santé publique and the Collège des médecins du Québec, to put science back on the agenda regarding the vaccination of children.”
“This also constitutes a formal notice in compliance with article 39 of the code of ethics of physicians concerning the reporting of a situation that endangers the population, in this case, the children of Quebec. If the above is consistent, a complete and immediate ban on the vaccination of children in Quebec against COVID-19 is necessary, if only by virtue of the precautionary principle (“First, do no harm” ).”
Verifying some claims made by the group
While it would be too lengthy to verify all of the claims found in the contentions enumerated above, some are worth checking.
Firstly, the group claims that vaccines should not be promoted since they were not fully tested on animals.
If we look at the information on the Quebec Health website, we can notice the following in the section Safety of the vaccines:
Previous versions (such as that of Oct. 29, 2021) somewhat varied and used to include a hyperlink pointing to the page that describes all the steps in the vaccine development process, including conducting preclinical studies in animals.
While it remains unclear why Quebec Health removed the link to the Vaccine development process page, the current page does state that they “have gone through all the necessary steps prior to approval” which remains disputable, given insufficient testing on animals.
As for the legality in promoting the vaccines, the group cited Section 9 of the Canadian Food and Drugs Act which states:
“9 (1) No person shall label, package, treat, process, sell or advertise any drug in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character, value, quantity, composition, merit or safety.”
Advertising the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine in a manner that suggests it has met “the same quality and safety standards as any other vaccine used in Canada” is highly questionable since it was not fully tested on animals, it was hurriedly released and administered under an emergency directive and was as an experimental product of gene manipulation very different from conventional vaccines.
One of the other key contentions of the group was that the health authorities do not meet required ethical standards specifically with regards to the completeness of information communicated to parents, that they fail in their obligation to provide informed consent, and that the public health authority, the INSPQ, had asserted it an ethical justification to vaccinate children in order to protect the elderly and vulnerable.
Moreover, they stress that complete information should include the dangers and risks of the vaccine, but parents are not informed of all of these due to censorship. And consequently, it deprives them of making an informed decision.
Informed consent is a complex concept with many norms and standards to follow as well as relevant laws which are well beyond the scope of this article. Notwithstanding, the claim that the health authority advocated to the Quebec government the advantages of vaccinating children to protect more vulnerable groups is easily verifiable.
Vaccination of children raises certain questions of ethics that have been discussed in detail in the notice for vaccination against COVID-19 of children aged 5 to 11 years(6).
Specifically for young children, remember the issues related to non-maleficence: given that the anticipated benefits of youth vaccination children are less than for other groups age, the individual risks must be low and the vaccination must have an excellent safety profile.
The possible negative impacts of vaccination against COVID-19 on the offer and acceptability of other routine vaccines should also be minimized, in order to respect the principle of non-maleficence.
Moreover, from a utilitarian point of view, the principle of solidarity can make it possible to ethically justify the vaccination of young children in the context of an uncertain benefit/risk ratio at the individual level, especially if the vaccination of young children offers societal benefits (for example, if vaccination protects other people more vulnerable). It could also allow parents who identify their child at risk of developing complications as a result of an infection to SARS-CoV-2 to benefit from this strategy preventative, should it become offered or recommended.”
The key passage here is
“Moreover, from a utilitarian point of view, the principle of solidarity can make it possible to ethically justify the vaccination of young children in the context of an uncertain benefit/risk ratio at the individual level, especially if the vaccination of young children offers societal benefits (for example, if vaccination protects other people more vulnerable)”.
It is clearly stated that the health authority, the INSPQ, is indeed suggesting vaccinating children in order to protect more vulnerable groups of society.
While the group has raised many important questions surrounding the numerous and contentious issues raised in their open letter, it remains to be seen if any of the targeted health authorities will reply, as they seldom do.
The author of this article has contacted Réinfo Covid Québec to inquire as to whether they have received any response from any of the three health authorities to whom they have addressed the letter but has not received a reply as of publication time. Should they respond, a note will be added in the comments section for this article.
At the very least, the group of doctors and healthcare professionals who penned this open letter have provided the public in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada with a lot to contemplate.
