Sorry for the inconvenience.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Open Letter to Dr. Bonnie Henry, Adrian Dix, and Premier John Horgan\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We are a group of extremely concerned health professionals in the Okanagan Valley, B.C. We have some critical questions\u00a0 regarding COVID-19, specifically about the current reporting of case numbers, statistics, and testing, and the restrictions\u00a0 imposed by your health orders. While discussion of adjunctive and alternative safe and effective treatments is being stifled, the\u00a0 policies of mandatory experimental vaccines and vaccine passports are being forced upon our province, our country, and many\u00a0 other countries worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Dr. Henry, Mr. Dix and Mr. Horgan: We\u2014as healthcare practitioners and citizens\u2014expect and deserve answers that\u00a0 address these concerns directly. Proclaiming that vaccine therapies are \u201csafe and effective\u201d is misleading and sloganistic. The\u00a0 reports of vaccine injuries are increasing every day, yet are being ignored. We are witnessing an increase in Covid illness\u00a0 occurring in fully vaccinated individuals and, irrationally, that is being followed by a promise of mandated boosters.1\u00a0The lack\u00a0 of answers and the vague information being provided over the past 18+ months do not instill confidence in British Columbians.<\/p>\n<p>This lack of transparency has resulted in unprecedented divisiveness amongst citizens, families and friends. There are individuals\u00a0 who are angry that some concerned citizens are not complying and are comparing our current circumstances to the Holocaust.\u00a0 While this may seem extreme, the Holocaust also began with the small removal of freedoms2, just as we are seeing today. This\u00a0 historical atrocity started out as a slow and seemingly innocent removal of rights by the government, but quickly morphed into\u00a0 media control, divisiveness between groups of people, and limitations to what one select section of society could do. In this way,\u00a0 the ordinary citizen easily became an enemy of the state. Today a one-sided, politically-driven narrative, which is being fuelled\u00a0 by politicians and the media, is causing a similar divisiveness. When only one side of the story is made available to the public, it\u00a0 is easy to understand how individuals can become disgruntled toward other citizens who are fighting to maintain their freedom\u00a0 and bodily autonomy. A political agenda is clearly being pushed here, and the refusal to address questions and concerns of\u00a0 healthcare practitioners and citizens of B.C. speaks volumes. We hope all of B.C. and Canada will carefully consider the\u00a0 information included in this document and join us in demanding clear, direct and truthful answers.<\/p>\n<p>You must recognize and acknowledge the problems our country faces with our media and with our supposed leaders. We are on\u00a0 a dangerous trajectory and we must STOP \u2014NOW! The media\u2019s control of information and the censorship of knowledgeable\u00a0 and experienced physicians, scientists, and lawyers are preventing access to the two sides of the story. The introduction of \u201cFact\u00a0 checkers\u201d\u2014who are wholly owned by Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Media \u2014 being paid to censor anyone who does not\u00a0 support the government narrative. The tools of intimidation, coercion, and bribery are being used to divide our society, and all of\u00a0 this is happening right in front of us. Obviously, this type of behaviour is not a reflection of good people with good ideas; to the\u00a0 contrary, it is criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p>Groups of doctors are forming international networks to investigate public health measures and to raise questions and concerns.3\u00a0\u00a0We call on all Canadians to join the rapidly growing movement of ordinary citizens who are standing up against tyranny and\u00a0 violation of our human rights and freedoms!<\/p>\n<p>Please answer the 12 questions below directly, clearly and truthfully, with references to the data from the scientific research on\u00a0 which you are basing your decisions and policies:<\/p>\n<p><b>1.)

As of August 21, 2021, there have been a total of 1,804 deaths due to\u2014or\u00a0 related to\u2014COVID-19. These deaths occurred over the span of 18+ months dealing with COVID-19 in our province.\u00a0 Further calculation demonstrates that this represents a 0.023% COVID-19 yearly mortality rate for our entire B.C.\u00a0 population. Does an annual 0.023% risk of death, heavily skewed towards the elderly with comorbidities, justify a mandatory vaccine policy and a vaccine passport?<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in the age range of 0 to 59, there have been 127 deaths related to or from COVID-19 in the entirety of B.C\u00a0 across an 18+ month duration. Why is this information not being openly shared? Does this data not represent a very\u00a0 different reality than we are being led to believe in the media and in your press conferences?<\/p>\n<p>The total number of people that the Government of Canada says died WITH COVID-19 (not necessarily FROM Covid 19) since the beginning of the pandemic, is 26,873 as of September 3, 2021. You can view these numbers directly on\u00a0 the Government of Canada InfoBase website5, using the link in the footnote (find Figure 7, and change the drop down\u00a0 to \u201cdeceased\u201d). There you will find the breakdown of the 26,873 of total COVID-19 deaths by age group in Canada. To see these numbers here, we show both the BC and CANADA total deaths, said to be WITH Covid-19, broken down\u00a0 by age, and the percentage of those deaths by age, over the past 18+ months:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Age 0-19 = 2 (0%) BC 12 (0%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 20-29 = 0 (0%) BC 68 (0.3%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 30-39 = 2 (0%) BC 152 (0.6%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 40-49 = 16 (0.8%) BC 354 (1.3%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 50-59 = 30 (0.16%)BC 1,033 (3.8%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 60-69 = 77 (0.4%) BC 2,620 (9.7%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 70-79 = 178 (9.8%) BC 5,747 (20.5%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Age 80+ = 1,117 (62%) BC 17,160 (63.9%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>\u00a0Total Deaths = 1,804 (100%) BC 26,872 (100%) Canada\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><b>Total Population\u00a0<\/b><b>= 5,145,851 BC 38,067,903 Canada\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It should surprise all Canadians that there has been\u00a0<b>a total of 12 children between the ages of 0 and 19 across the\u00a0 entire nation that have died WITH (not necessarily FROM) COVID-19 in 18+ months<\/b>. Co-morbidities have not\u00a0 been made public. With this data, it is reasonable to ask why the government seeks to vaccinate all children to \u201cprotect\u201d\u00a0 them? It is obvious that they do not need protection.<\/p>\n<p>If we compare this to the number of 0-19 year olds in Canada who typically die from influenza (the flu) each year, the public health pressure on children to get vaccinated becomes even more troubling. The only breakdown shown for\u00a0 pediatrics (assuming age 0-16) in Canada showed that 10 children died of the flu in 2018 over a 12 month period.6\u00a0\u00a0Data for deaths of children from the flu between the ages of 0 and 19 was not shown, which makes it difficult to\u00a0 precisely compare, but the figures are still telling. According to the Government of Canada, ten children 0-16 years old\u00a0 died from the flu in 12 months versus 12 children who died with COVID-19 over the last 18+ months (proportionately\u00a0 8 children per 12 months). This means that COVID-19 is less dangerous than the flu for this age group. Why then is the\u00a0 Government pressuring children to get vaccinated?<\/p>\n<p>Given 84.3% of all people who are said to have died\u00a0<i>with\u00a0<\/i>COVID-19 are age 70 and over, and 94% of all people who\u00a0 are said to have died\u00a0<i>with\u00a0<\/i>COVID-19 are age 60 and over, how do you justify applying public health restrictions on the\u00a0 rest of the population?<\/p>\n<p>4.<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bccdc.ca\/Health-Info-Site\/Documents\/COVID_sitrep\/Week_33_2021_BC_COVID-19_Situation_Report.pdf\">http:\/\/www.bccdc.ca\/Health-Info-Site\/Documents\/COVID_sitrep\/Week_33_2021_BC_COVID-19_Situation_Report.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>2.) PCR TESTING \u2013 Invalid test used to create fear based on 90%+ false positives\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Question:\u00a0<\/b>Why are we still using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to detect COVID-19 cases in B.C.?\u00a0\u00a0<b>Background:\u00a0<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization (WHO) originally stated that PCR tests were the \u201cgold standard\u201d for COVID-19 testing,\u00a0 recommending it as the universal test (as of March 21, 2020 laboratory testing strategy recommendations for COVID-19\u00a0 interim guidance). Now the WHO admits what scientists have been saying since the beginning of the pandemic, that the<\/p>\n<p>PCR test is not an accurate diagnostic tool, and is in fact recommending a completely different testing protocol7. Also,\u00a0 the U.S. Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has said that it will ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to\u00a0 withdraw its emergency use authorization (EUA) of the PCR test as of December 31, 20218.<\/p>\n<p>The entire pandemic and associated restrictions are based upon the number of \u201ccases\u201d; however, the number of \u201ccases\u201d is based upon a positive PCR test result. These PCR tests are falsely inflating the \u201ccase\u201d numbers of people who are sick\u00a0 with COVID-19. This creates fear and misleading statistics.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, stated many times that \u201cPCR tests cannot be used\u00a0 to detect viruses\u201d9. It is now admitted that the PCR cannot tell the difference between a common cold, the flu, or any\u00a0 virus or variant. Also, the PCR cannot differentiate between live and dead matter meaning whether something is\u00a0 infectious or not.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Science Officer, Dr. Michael Yeadon announced \u201c\u2026this is\u00a0 nothing but fear-mongering based on junk science and fraud.\u201d10\u00a0He too claims that \u201calmost all\u201d of the tests being\u00a0 conducted for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) are \u201cfalse positives\u201d, a phenomenon that has been observed in\u00a0 Florida and around the world. Yet, we still continue to use PCR tests to manufacture fear and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Since speaking out, Dr. Yeadon has been censored and smeared in order to prevent the distribution of, and to discredit,\u00a0 the critical information he is sharing. He has risked his reputation, career, and his life to share this information.

Bridle (Professor of Viral Immunology at University of Guelph) explains that similarly to antibiotic\u00a0 resistance, COVID-19 variants are caused by not fully killing the virus, allowing for mutation.19\u00a0Therefore, only\u00a0 individuals who are vaccinated can be creating the variants. As with any variant, as the CDC and WHO also state,\u00a0 mutations lead to a weaker and more transmittable viral strain. That is why the Delta will not have the same potential\u00a0 for causing deaths as the original COVID-19 strain. As evidenced by Dr. Bridle, the continual application of COVID 19 vaccinations, and furthermore boosters, will exacerbate the development of more variants.

This is not true.<\/p>\n<p>To explain how RRR and ARR works in layman\u2019s terms requires much detail. Simplifying this information, RRR\u00a0 signifies the risk of a health event occurring in a group of vaccinated individuals versus a group of unvaccinated\u00a0 individuals. This number is incorrectly interpreted to represent that 94 out of every 100 people vaccinated will be\u00a0 protected from COVID-19. Although this number is compelling, this is an incorrect statement regarding what that 94%\u00a0 means. This number does not tell you what your chances are of becoming sick if you get vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>The more valuable and accurate value that needs to be used is that of the\u00a0ARR. The ARR represents the ACTUAL\u00a0 likelihood of disease risk between the placebo (non-vaccinated individuals) and treatment (vaccinated individuals)\u00a0 groups.<\/p>\n<p>The ARR data directly from Pfizer and Moderna was calculated as 0.7% and 1.1% respectively. In contrast, the RRR\u00a0 calculated as 95.0% and 94.0% for Pfizer and Moderna, respectively. See the Abstract in this NIH document that\u00a0 presents the vaccine RRR\/ARR data direct from Pfizer and Moderna.23<\/p>\n<p>If individuals knew that the current vaccinations only confer a 0.7% to 1.1% reduction in chances of getting ill with\u00a0 COVID-19, would they have still have taken the vaccine given its risks?<\/p>\n<p>It is imperative to clarify that the COVID-19 vaccines do NOT prevent COVID-19, nor do they stop the transmission\u00a0 of COVID-19. The vaccines have only been designed to reduce severity of symptoms in the individual who receives\u00a0 the vaccine. As previously discussed, the virus is still transmissible by both vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals.\u00a0 Breakthrough cases are occurring regularly in fully vaccinated individuals at an increasing rate, which is pushing the\u00a0 requirement for booster vaccinations. The push by Government to require booster vaccinations at this early stage only\u00a0 serves to confirm that the original vaccine program being pushed is failing.24<\/p>\n<p><b>7.)

These statements being made about Ivermectin are malicious and false as it has been\u00a0 safely and effectively used for years in humans.37\u00a0In 2015 William C. Campbell, emeritus research fellow at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and Satoshi Omura, professor emeritus at Kitasato University in Japan, jointly\u00a0 received one half of the Nobel Prize for their work with Ivermectin that was discovered in 1975 and approved for safe\u00a0 use in humans in 1987. In delivering his Nobel Prize lecture on December 7, 2015, Dr. Campbell confirmed the safety\u00a0 and effectiveness of using Ivermectin in humans, and noted that part of the ground breaking research was done in\u00a0 partnership with the WHO, the World Bank, and others.38\u00a0It was noted that because of its excellent safety profile and\u00a0 broad spectrum of activity, Ivermectin was catalogued by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine and is\u00a0 regarded by many as a \u201cmagic bullet\u201d for global health.\u00a039<\/p>\n<p>On February 9, 2021, the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Haruo Ozaki, announced that Ivermectin seemed\u00a0 to be effective at stopping Covid 19 and publicly recommended that all doctors in Japan immediately begin using\u00a0 Ivermectin to treat Covid 19.40<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that only since the covid-19 pandemic began has the WHO changed its stance on the\u00a0 effectiveness of Ivermectin. While the WHO still admits that Ivermectin is on its essential medicines list (and therefore\u00a0 safe), the WHO now simply says that the evidence to support using Ivermectin as an effective treatment for Covid 19 is\u00a0 inconclusive, and that the guideline development group that they convened did not look at the use of Ivermectin to\u00a0 prevent Covid 19. One can only speculate as to why this group was not asked to look at that essential question. The\u00a0 WHO only says that this question was outside the scope of the current guidelines.41\u00a0It would seem that these much more\u00a0 expensive, experimental vaccines that were rushed to market under an emergency use authorization only, without proper\u00a0 testing and scrutiny, would be at least as inconclusive as the safe, tried and tested Ivermectin.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Hydroxychloroquine is an approved and well-known treatment. Medical professionals have been coerced\u00a0 and forced to prescribe less efficacious, and even harmful, drugs. Deaths associated with adverse drug events (i.e.\u00a0 related to the use of Remdesivir42) should be considered as a separate count from COVID-19 deaths, as those deaths\u00a0 could have been avoided if these effective pharmaceuticals were implemented in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<p>Simple home remedies such as zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, N-acetylcysteine, and quercetin are also well known and\u00a0 effective at helping COVID-19 patients to recover43. Dr. Vladimir Zev Zelenko has led the way with these treatments.\u00a0 In contrast, many doctors are still sending patients with COVID-19 home without any of these treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>Why have you not promoted other effective treatment apart from the experimental vaccines, or even healthy lifestyle\u00a0 choices and vitamin D, since it is clear that obesity, high blood pressure and inactivity were largely responsible for\u00a0 COVID-19 related deaths? The opposite has happened with your policies of lockdowns, closures of parks, gyms, and\u00a0 sports programs, and the creation of fear and anxiety through constant media messaging. These all lower the function of\u00a0 the immune system and increase blood pressure, which are undesirable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><b>10.) DEFINITION AND COUNTS OF THE VACCINATED VS.

The issue in that arbitration was that the hospital required healthcare workers to wear surgical\/procedure\u00a0 masks each year throughout the 5 to 6 month flu season if they had not received the vaccination for influenza. The\u00a0 Nurses Union alleged that the policy was an unreasonable exercise of management rights and a breach of employee\u00a0 privacy rights. At the time that Dr. Henry advocated in favor of the policy, she was the Deputy Provincial Health\u00a0 Officer for British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Henry\u2019s testimony in that arbitration hearing is eerily similar to the narrative she has been telling British\u00a0 Columbians about the Covid 19 virus. Dr. Henry was a strong proponent that there was asymptomatic spread, that\u00a0 unvaccinated nurses and healthcare workers should wear masks, and supported mandating forcing employees to wear\u00a0 masks as a consequence of choosing not to get the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>On cross-examination Dr. Henry reluctantly admitted (at paragraph 161 of the arbitration decision) that there was not a\u00a0 lot of evidence to support the suggestion that asymptomatic shedding actually leads to effective transmission of the\u00a0 virus.<\/p>\n<p>At paragraph 178 of the arbitration decision, the arbitrator notes that Dr. Henry concluded after admitting that \u201cI am\u00a0 not a huge fan of the masking piece\u201d, that \u201cthere is not a lot of evidence to support mask use\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Paragraph 219 Dr. Henry\u2019s evidence is summarized in part as follows:<\/p>\n<p>It is a challenging issue and we have wrestled with it. I am not a huge fan of the masking piece. I think it was\u00a0 felt to be a reasonable alternative where there was a need to do-to feel that we were doing the best we can to try\u00a0 and reduce risk. I tried to be quite clear in my report that the evidence to support masking is not as great and it\u00a0 is certainly not as good a measure.<\/p>\n<p>In the arbitration, the Nurses Union submitted that Dr. Henry was instrumental in the introduction of the \u201cvaccinate or\u00a0 mask\u201d policy in British Columbia (paragraph 256) and therefore Dr. Henry\u2019s objectivity was suspect. The arbitrator\u00a0 preferred the evidence of other experts over Dr. Henry and her colleagues\u2019 evidence.<\/p>\n<p>The arbitrator noted that Dr. Henry defended the vaccine or mask policies as a way of preventing transmission from\u00a0 unvaccinated healthcare workers to their patients before symptom onset, or in cases of asymptomatic infection\u00a0 (paragraph 287). However, the arbitrator also noted (at paragraph 294) that while Dr. Henry stated there was \u201csome\u00a0 evidence that people shed prior to being symptomatic and some evidence of transmission\u201d but \u201cthere is not a lot of\u00a0 evidence around these pieces\u201d. Two other experts who testified on behalf of the hospital, one of whom Dr. Henry\u00a0 acknowledged her expertise, both admitted that the evidence of asymptomatic spread was \u201cscant\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The arbitrator held (at paragraph 297), while \u201cbearing in mind the concessions made about the quality of the evidence\u00a0 by Dr. McGeer and Dr. Henry\u201d, that the following opinion of another expert was more accurate:<\/p>\n<p>Although asymptomatic individuals may shed influenza virus, studies have not determined if such people\u00a0 effectively transmit influenza\u2026 Based on the available literature, we found that there is scant, if any, evidence\u00a0 that asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals play an important role in transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The arbitrator held that the patient safety purpose and effect of masking was not established on the evidence and that\u00a0 the \u201cvaccine or mask\u201d requirement was reduced to a \u201ccoercive tool\u201d, a situation that would be troubling if made out. The arbitrator also noted (at paragraph 326) Dr. Henry\u2019s recognition that the wearing of a mass could be reasonably\u00a0 regarded as a \u201cconsequence\u201d for failure to consent to vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>The arbitrator concluded (paragraph 327) that the vaccine or mask policy did not provide a legitimate accommodative\u00a0 purpose for healthcare workers who conscientiously object to immunization, but rather more closely resembled an\u00a0 unacceptable Hobson\u2019s choice (free choice). The arbitrator did not accept the argument that requiring unvaccinated\u00a0 staff to wear a mask may encourage truly voluntary immunization, nor did the arbitrator accept that the continuance of\u00a0 the minority employee group who choose to mask disproves the effectively coercive aspect of a vaccine or mask\u00a0 policy. The arbitrator noted that one of the nurses told her managers that \u201cI felt I was being publicly put on display for\u00a0 choosing not to get the flu shot. I told her I felt I was being bullied into it and harassed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>49\u00a0https:\/\/www.canlii.org\/en\/on\/onla\/doc\/2015\/2015canlii62106\/2015canlii62106.pdf<\/p>\n<p>The arbitrator concluded that the vaccine or mask policy was unreasonable and contravened KVP principles. Similar\u00a0 findings were made by another arbitrator in 2018 involving the St. Michael\u2019s Hospital and the Ontario Hospital\u00a0 Association v. The Ontario Nurses Association.50 51<\/p>\n<p>The vaccine or mask policy in issue in the Ontario Nurses arbitrations is very similar to what is going on in British\u00a0 Columbia with covid-19. Just as the arbitrator found that a masking policy amounted to a coercive tool that was\u00a0 troubling, your policies requiring rapid antigen testing, PCR testing, and masking as a condition of employment, is\u00a0 nothing more than a coercive tool to pressure people to accept the experimental vaccine. As the arbitrator held in 2015,\u00a0 a policy with this purpose is \u201ctroubling\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You stated numerous times in your television briefings in 2020 that masks were not effective at preventing the spread\u00a0 of the Covid 19 virus.52\u00a0Now you claim that masks do work and that you never said they did not. There is a glaring\u00a0 discrepancy between the statements that you made under oath in 2015, and in your television briefings in 2020, compared to what you are saying now in your current health orders in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Please refer to the additional published studies confirming masks are not effective.53 54\u00a0Also, Dr. Byram Bridle\u2019s video\u00a0 also demonstrates that wearing 5 masks do not stop droplets from escaping and certainly do not prevent the Covid-19\u00a0 virus from passing through a non-medical mask or tightly woven clothing.55<\/p>\n<p>Requiring people to wear masks harms the user by reducing availability of oxygen, increasing bacterial growth within\u00a0 the fabric of the masks, leads to social issues for individuals that cannot mask for medical reasons, creates waste of\u00a0 materials and money, and contributes to further pollution and negative environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Please provide the evidence you are relying upon that prove masks work.<\/p>\n<p><b>Call To Action:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Henry, Mr. Dix and Mr. Horgan, the citizens of this province call on you to answer to these questions, directly and truthfully.\u00a0 British Columbians will no longer tolerate the trampling of our rights, segregation, and division amongst neighbors and families.\u00a0 We respect different perspectives and opinions; however, everyone deserves to see the scientific evidence you are relying upon\u00a0 to justify your public health orders.

We have some critical questions\u00a0 regarding COVID-19, specifically about the current reporting of case numbers, statistics, and testing, and the restrictions\u00a0 imposed by your health orders. While discussion of adjunctive and alternative safe and effective treatments is being stifled, the\u00a0 policies of mandatory experimental vaccines and vaccine passports are being forced upon our province, our country, and many\u00a0 other countries worldwide.\r\n\r\nAddressing Dr. Henry, Mr. Dix and Mr. Horgan: We\u2014as healthcare practitioners and citizens\u2014expect and deserve answers that\u00a0 address these concerns directly. Proclaiming that vaccine therapies are \u201csafe and effective\u201d is misleading and sloganistic. The\u00a0 reports of vaccine injuries are increasing every day, yet are being ignored. We are witnessing an increase in Covid illness\u00a0 occurring in fully vaccinated individuals and, irrationally, that is being followed by a promise of mandated boosters. 1 The lack\u00a0 of answers and the vague information being provided over the past 18+ months do not instill confidence in British Columbians.\r\n\r\nThis lack of transparency has resulted in unprecedented divisiveness amongst citizens, families and friends. There are individuals\u00a0 who are angry that some concerned citizens are not complying and are comparing our current circumstances to the Holocaust.\u00a0 While this may seem extreme, the Holocaust also began with the small removal of freedoms 2, just as we are seeing today. This\u00a0 historical atrocity started out as a slow and seemingly innocent removal of rights by the government, but quickly morphed into\u00a0 media control, divisiveness between groups of people, and limitations to what one select section of society could do. In this way,\u00a0 the ordinary citizen easily became an enemy of the state. Today a one-sided, politically-driven narrative, which is being fuelled\u00a0 by politicians and the media, is causing a similar divisiveness. When only one side of the story is made available to the public, it\u00a0 is easy to understand how individuals can become disgruntled toward other citizens who are fighting to maintain their freedom\u00a0 and bodily autonomy. A political agenda is clearly being pushed here, and the refusal to address questions and concerns of\u00a0 healthcare practitioners and citizens of B.C. speaks volumes. We hope all of B.C. and Canada will carefully consider the\u00a0 information included in this document and join us in demanding clear, direct and truthful answers.\r\n\r\nYou must recognize and acknowledge the problems our country faces with our media and with our supposed leaders. We are on\u00a0 a dangerous trajectory and we must STOP \u2014NOW! The media\u2019s control of information and the censorship of knowledgeable\u00a0 and experienced physicians, scientists, and lawyers are preventing access to the two sides of the story. The introduction of \u201cFact\u00a0 checkers\u201d\u2014who are wholly owned by Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Media \u2014 being paid to censor anyone who does not\u00a0 support the government narrative. The tools of intimidation, coercion, and bribery are being used to divide our society, and all of\u00a0 this is happening right in front of us. Obviously, this type of behaviour is not a reflection of good people with good ideas; to the\u00a0 contrary, it is criminal activity.\r\n\r\nGroups of doctors are forming international networks to investigate public health measures and to raise questions and concerns. 3\u00a0 We call on all Canadians to join the rapidly growing movement of ordinary citizens who are standing up against tyranny and\u00a0 violation of our human rights and freedoms!\r\n\r\nPlease answer the 12 questions below directly, clearly and truthfully, with references to the data from the scientific research on\u00a0 which you are basing your decisions and policies:\r\n\r\n<b>1.)

In these childhood deaths, the influence of comorbidities\u00a0 was not revealed.\r\n\r\nOn the BCCDC website4, in the Situation Report listed below in the footnotes, these statistics can be viewed on page 9.\r\n\r\nWith only 2 deaths occurring in the 1 million children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 that reside in B.C., why are we\u00a0 even considering mandating vaccinations, masks, isolation, and restrictions at school?\r\n\r\nB.C. has a population of 5.17M people. As of August 21, 2021, there have been a total of 1,804 deaths due to\u2014or\u00a0 related to\u2014COVID-19. These deaths occurred over the span of 18+ months dealing with COVID-19 in our province.\u00a0 Further calculation demonstrates that this represents a 0.023% COVID-19 yearly mortality rate for our entire B.C.\u00a0 population. Does an annual 0.023% risk of death, heavily skewed towards the elderly with comorbidities, justify a mandatory vaccine policy and a vaccine passport?\r\n\r\nMoreover, in the age range of 0 to 59, there have been 127 deaths related to or from COVID-19 in the entirety of B.C\u00a0 across an 18+ month duration. Why is this information not being openly shared? Does this data not represent a very\u00a0 different reality than we are being led to believe in the media and in your press conferences?\r\n\r\nThe total number of people that the Government of Canada says died WITH COVID-19 (not necessarily FROM Covid 19) since the beginning of the pandemic, is 26,873 as of September 3, 2021. You can view these numbers directly on\u00a0 the Government of Canada InfoBase website5, using the link in the footnote (find Figure 7, and change the drop down\u00a0 to \u201cdeceased\u201d). There you will find the breakdown of the 26,873 of total COVID-19 deaths by age group in Canada. To see these numbers here, we show both the BC and CANADA total deaths, said to be WITH Covid-19, broken down\u00a0 by age, and the percentage of those deaths by age, over the past 18+ months:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 0-19 = 2 (0%) BC 12 (0%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 20-29 = 0 (0%) BC 68 (0.3%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 30-39 = 2 (0%) BC 152 (0.6%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 40-49 = 16 (0.8%) BC 354 (1.3%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 50-59 = 30 (0.16%)BC 1,033 (3.8%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 60-69 = 77 (0.4%) BC 2,620 (9.7%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 70-79 = 178 (9.8%) BC 5,747 (20.5%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>Age 80+ = 1,117 (62%) BC 17,160 (63.9%) Canada\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>\u00a0Total Deaths = 1,804 (100%) BC 26,872 (100%) Canada\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>\u00a0<\/b><b>Total Population <\/b><b>= 5,145,851 BC 38,067,903 Canada\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nIt should surprise all Canadians that there has been <b>a total of 12 children between the ages of 0 and 19 across the\u00a0 entire nation that have died WITH (not necessarily FROM) COVID-19 in 18+ months<\/b>. Co-morbidities have not\u00a0 been made public. With this data, it is reasonable to ask why the government seeks to vaccinate all children to \u201cprotect\u201d\u00a0 them? It is obvious that they do not need protection.\r\n\r\nIf we compare this to the number of 0-19 year olds in Canada who typically die from influenza (the flu) each year, the public health pressure on children to get vaccinated becomes even more troubling. The only breakdown shown for\u00a0 pediatrics (assuming age 0-16) in Canada showed that 10 children died of the flu in 2018 over a 12 month period.6 \u00a0Data for deaths of children from the flu between the ages of 0 and 19 was not shown, which makes it difficult to\u00a0 precisely compare, but the figures are still telling. According to the Government of Canada, ten children 0-16 years old\u00a0 died from the flu in 12 months versus 12 children who died with COVID-19 over the last 18+ months (proportionately\u00a0 8 children per 12 months).

PCR TESTING \u2013 Invalid test used to create fear based on 90%+ false positives\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>Why are we still using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests to detect COVID-19 cases in B.C.?\u00a0 <b>Background: <\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) originally stated that PCR tests were the \u201cgold standard\u201d for COVID-19 testing,\u00a0 recommending it as the universal test (as of March 21, 2020 laboratory testing strategy recommendations for COVID-19\u00a0 interim guidance). Now the WHO admits what scientists have been saying since the beginning of the pandemic, that the\r\n\r\nPCR test is not an accurate diagnostic tool, and is in fact recommending a completely different testing protocol7. Also,\u00a0 the U.S. Centre for Disease Control (CDC) has said that it will ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to\u00a0 withdraw its emergency use authorization (EUA) of the PCR test as of December 31, 20218.\r\n\r\nThe entire pandemic and associated restrictions are based upon the number of \u201ccases\u201d; however, the number of \u201ccases\u201d is based upon a positive PCR test result. These PCR tests are falsely inflating the \u201ccase\u201d numbers of people who are sick\u00a0 with COVID-19. This creates fear and misleading statistics.\r\n\r\nIt is important to note that the inventor of the PCR test, Kary Mullis, stated many times that \u201cPCR tests cannot be used\u00a0 to detect viruses\u201d9. It is now admitted that the PCR cannot tell the difference between a common cold, the flu, or any\u00a0 virus or variant. Also, the PCR cannot differentiate between live and dead matter meaning whether something is\u00a0 infectious or not.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Science Officer, Dr. Michael Yeadon announced \u201c\u2026this is\u00a0 nothing but fear-mongering based on junk science and fraud.\u201d10 He too claims that \u201calmost all\u201d of the tests being\u00a0 conducted for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) are \u201cfalse positives\u201d, a phenomenon that has been observed in\u00a0 Florida and around the world. Yet, we still continue to use PCR tests to manufacture fear and compliance.\r\n\r\nSince speaking out, Dr. Yeadon has been censored and smeared in order to prevent the distribution of, and to discredit,\u00a0 the critical information he is sharing. He has risked his reputation, career, and his life to share this information. Dr. Yeadon has joined forces with a group of 160 doctors, who are in agreement with issues of regarding the COVID-19\u00a0 narrative. 11 Why would these highly credentialed professionals willingly put themselves in this position, where there is\u00a0 so much to lose, and nothing to gain, other than trying to save people from harm?\r\n\r\nDr. Yeadon\u2019s credentials are impressive and include: BSc (Joint Honours in Biochemistry and Toxicology) PhD\u00a0 (Pharmacology), Formerly Vice President & Chief Scientific Officer Allergy & Respiratory, Pfizer Global R&D; Co founder & CEO, Ziarco Pharma Ltd.; Independent Consultant (Scientist) (United Kingdom).\r\n\r\nIt is prohibited under the <b><i>Genetic Non-Discrimination Act of Canada<\/i><\/b>12 to require someone to take a genetic test such as\u00a0 the PCR test as a condition of their employment or as condition of providing goods or services to that individual.

With the knowledge of these inflated false positives, we absolutely\u00a0 should not be counting these as \u201ccases\u201d.13\r\n\r\n<b>4.) SPREAD \u2013 Vaccinated individuals spread COVID-19 just as much\u2014or more\u2014than unvaccinated individuals\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>What science or information are you relying upon when you say in your health orders that unvaccinated\u00a0 individuals are at higher risk than vaccinated persons of being infected with and transmitting COVID-19, or that the\u00a0 presence of an unvaccinated staff member constitutes a health hazard under the Public Health Act?\r\n\r\n<b>Background:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nSeveral studies as well as CDC data demonstrate evidence that vaccinated persons have high potential to spread the\u00a0 COVID-19 Delta variant 14. It has been well documented that vaccinated people can\u2014and do\u2014spread the virus.15\r\n\r\nA recently published medical study found that infection from COVID-19 confers considerably longer lasting and\u00a0 stronger protection against the delta variant than the current vaccines do.16 Vaccinated individuals were found to be 27\u00a0 times more likely to experience a symptomatic COVID-19 infection than those with natural immunity from COVID 19.17 Why are we discriminating against unvaccinated people, when the spread is clearly happening also amongst\u00a0 vaccinated individuals. Furthermore, those that have had a natural COVID-19 infection have been proven to have\u00a0 longer-term and more robust protection compared to those with the vaccine.18\r\n\r\n<b>5.) VARIANTS \u2013 Vaccines are causing the variants, and the vaccinated are more affected by variant strains than\u00a0 those with naturally conferred immunity\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>What source are you looking at when you declare that the variant(s) are being caused by unvaccinated\u00a0 individuals?\r\n\r\n<b>Background:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nDr. Byram W. Bridle (Professor of Viral Immunology at University of Guelph) explains that similarly to antibiotic\u00a0 resistance, COVID-19 variants are caused by not fully killing the virus, allowing for mutation.19 Therefore, only\u00a0 individuals who are vaccinated can be creating the variants. As with any variant, as the CDC and WHO also state,\u00a0 mutations lead to a weaker and more transmittable viral strain. That is why the Delta will not have the same potential\u00a0 for causing deaths as the original COVID-19 strain. As evidenced by Dr. Bridle, the continual application of COVID 19 vaccinations, and furthermore boosters, will exacerbate the development of more variants. Finally, there is no\u00a0 current evidence that suggests that unvaccinated individuals are causing a rise in cases. 20\r\n\r\n<b>6.) VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS \u2013 Exposing the true effectiveness rate of vaccines and approval concerns\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>Why is the inflated Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) of 94.0% utilized in reporting of vaccine effectiveness\u00a0 instead of the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) of less than 1.0%? What information are you relying upon when you say\u00a0 vaccines prevent or reduce the risk of infection with covid-19?\r\n\r\n<b>Background:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nPromoting the RRR instead of the ARR misleads the general population, exacerbating the non-factual concept that\u00a0 these vaccines prevent getting and spreading COVID-19.

This is not true.\r\n\r\nTo explain how RRR and ARR works in layman\u2019s terms requires much detail. Simplifying this information, RRR\u00a0 signifies the risk of a health event occurring in a group of vaccinated individuals versus a group of unvaccinated\u00a0 individuals. This number is incorrectly interpreted to represent that 94 out of every 100 people vaccinated will be\u00a0 protected from COVID-19. Although this number is compelling, this is an incorrect statement regarding what that 94%\u00a0 means. This number does not tell you what your chances are of becoming sick if you get vaccinated.\r\n\r\nThe more valuable and accurate value that needs to be used is that of the ARR. The ARR represents the ACTUAL\u00a0 likelihood of disease risk between the placebo (non-vaccinated individuals) and treatment (vaccinated individuals)\u00a0 groups.\r\n\r\nThe ARR data directly from Pfizer and Moderna was calculated as 0.7% and 1.1% respectively. In contrast, the RRR\u00a0 calculated as 95.0% and 94.0% for Pfizer and Moderna, respectively. See the Abstract in this NIH document that\u00a0 presents the vaccine RRR\/ARR data direct from Pfizer and Moderna.23\r\n\r\nIf individuals knew that the current vaccinations only confer a 0.7% to 1.1% reduction in chances of getting ill with\u00a0 COVID-19, would they have still have taken the vaccine given its risks?\r\n\r\nIt is imperative to clarify that the COVID-19 vaccines do NOT prevent COVID-19, nor do they stop the transmission\u00a0 of COVID-19. The vaccines have only been designed to reduce severity of symptoms in the individual who receives\u00a0 the vaccine. As previously discussed, the virus is still transmissible by both vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals.\u00a0 Breakthrough cases are occurring regularly in fully vaccinated individuals at an increasing rate, which is pushing the\u00a0 requirement for booster vaccinations. The push by Government to require booster vaccinations at this early stage only\u00a0 serves to confirm that the original vaccine program being pushed is failing.24\r\n\r\n<b>7.) VACCINE SAFETY\/INJURY STATS \u2013 Missing full details of the magnitude of Vaccine injuries and deaths\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>Where is the transparency for the current statistics and details regarding counts of B.C. vaccine-related\u00a0 injuries and deaths?\r\n\r\n<b>Background:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nAdverse reaction statistics and data is imperative to ensure that British Columbians can exercise their constitutional\u00a0 right to free and voluntary informed consent.

Of those 14,101 reports of adverse reactions there are currently 3,768 reported as serious. \u201cSerious\u201d\u00a0 adverse reactions include death; however, death counts are not separately recorded on this database. 25 Why is there this\u00a0 lack of transparency?\r\n\r\nSpecifically, on Sept 3rd, a report quietly released by Public Health Ontario reported 106 youth, under the age of 25,\u00a0 were hospitalized with heart inflammation following mRNA vaccination. 26\r\n\r\nThese vaccine injuries and deaths are not just in Canada, but all over the world:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>(EU Vaccine injury:1.9 Million, Vaccine deaths: 20,595)27<\/li>\r\n \t<li>(US Vaccine injury reported in VAERS: 650,075, Vaccine deaths: 13,911)28<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n21 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7996517\/\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7996517\/\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n22 <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/vm026d-ex-pfizer-employee-tells-us-the-horrifying-truth-about-the-covid-19-vaccine.html%2023%20https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7996517\/\">https:\/\/rumble.com\/vm026d-ex-pfizer-employee-tells-us-the-horrifying-truth-about-the-covid-19-vaccine.html 23 https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7996517\/\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n24 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/virus-czar-calls-to-begin-readying-for-eventual-4th-vaccine-dose\/\">https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/virus-czar-calls-to-begin-readying-for-eventual-4th-vaccine-dose\/\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n25 <a href=\"https:\/\/health-infobase.canada.ca\/covid-19\/vaccine-safety\/summary.html\">https:\/\/health-infobase.canada.ca\/covid-19\/vaccine-safety\/summary.html\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n26 <a href=\"https:\/\/theprovince.com\/news\/provincial\/over-100-ontario-youth-have-been-sent-to-hospital-for-vaccine-related-heart%20problems\/wcm\/d3720dc4-1435-4c7e-9573-b7d658b075b1\">https:\/\/theprovince.com\/news\/provincial\/over-100-ontario-youth-have-been-sent-to-hospital-for-vaccine-related-heart problems\/wcm\/d3720dc4-1435-4c7e-9573-b7d658b075b1\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n27 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/20595-dead-1-9-million-injured-50-serious-reported-european-union-database-adverse-drug-reactions-covid%2019-shots\/5751904\">https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/20595-dead-1-9-million-injured-50-serious-reported-european-union-database-adverse-drug-reactions-covid 19-shots\/5751904\u00a0<\/a>\r\n\r\n28 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openvaers.com\/covid-data\">https:\/\/www.openvaers.com\/covid-data<\/a>\r\n\r\nyet the true numbers are not being disclosed accurately\u2014if at all. Investigations show that very few vaccine injuries and\u00a0 deaths are actually approved and reported to government reporting agencies.29 An article from Harvard states\u00a0 \u201cmanufacturers of vaccines must comply with the more expansive requirements of \u00a7600.80 of the C.F.R. Because\u00a0 VAERS is a passive reporting system, many adverse reactions to vaccines may not be reported.\u201d 30\r\n\r\nLastly, the Harvard Pilgrim Study31 states \u201cLikewise, fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low\u00a0 reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of \u201cproblem\u201d drugs and vaccines that endanger public health.\u201d\r\n\r\nDr. Patrick Phillips, an emergency room physician in Ontario stated that the forms are not easy to fill out, and that they\u00a0 are very cumbersome. Dr. Phillips also had a few reports returned to him marked as \u2018invalid\u2019.32 It is critical to properly\u00a0 compare the risk of COVID-19 to the risk of vaccine injury knowing they are not fully disclosed. This is even more\u00a0 important when we see the pharmacies including more warnings on the Vaccines.33\r\n\r\nA true clinical trial of this vaccine would include transparency where health officers would clearly provide vaccine\u00a0 injury details and fully track these occurrences without hesitation. Without this information and data, proper free and\u00a0 full informed consent cannot occur. The above included links are just some of the reporting systems, but the numbers\u00a0 are still very high and show much more injury than should be acceptable to any PHO or Government.\r\n\r\n<b>8.) PASSPORTS <\/b>\u2013<b>Will NOT be temporary and soon the 2 shots will NOT be sufficient to obtain a valid passport\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>You have recently stated that vaccine passports will be temporary, expiring at the end of January 2022.\u00a0 However, with 1 billion dollars being offered as an incentive by the Government of Canada34 for provinces who\u00a0 implement this system, it is hard to imagine this system will be scrapped by January 31, 2022, after only 5 months of\u00a0 use. It is difficult to rely on your statement given what you said on May 25, 2021on television (see 2:52 into the video):\r\n\r\n\u2026there is no way that we will recommend inequities be increased by use of things like vaccine passports for\u00a0 services, for public access here in British Columbia, and that\u2019s my advice and I\u2019ve got support from the\u00a0 Premier and I have talked about this Minister Dix and others.\u201d 35\r\n\r\nPrime Minister Trudeau made a similar commitment to Canadians on January 14, 2021 (see 3:30 into the same video).\r\n\r\nCurrent studies (footnoted earlier) show that vaccinated individuals spread COVID-19 as well. This begs the question,\u00a0 if all people spread the virus why are we segregating people?\r\n\r\nWhile it is understandable that fully vaccinated individuals are looking forward to getting their passport so life \u201ccan go\u00a0 back to normal\u201d or so they \u201ccan travel\u201d, they should be made aware that once a booster is mandated, their passport will\u00a0 no longer be considered valid until they are post 7 days after receiving a booster. Countries around that world that are\r\n\r\nimplementing booster programs are already indicating that boosters will be needed to maintain a valid and up-to-date\u00a0 vaccine passport. 36 The booster system will ensure that this vicious cycle never ends and one will need regular boosters\u00a0 of the vaccine to keep their passport valid.\r\n\r\n<b>9.)

Campbell, emeritus research fellow at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey and Satoshi Omura, professor emeritus at Kitasato University in Japan, jointly\u00a0 received one half of the Nobel Prize for their work with Ivermectin that was discovered in 1975 and approved for safe\u00a0 use in humans in 1987. In delivering his Nobel Prize lecture on December 7, 2015, Dr. Campbell confirmed the safety\u00a0 and effectiveness of using Ivermectin in humans, and noted that part of the ground breaking research was done in\u00a0 partnership with the WHO, the World Bank, and others.38 It was noted that because of its excellent safety profile and\u00a0 broad spectrum of activity, Ivermectin was catalogued by the World Health Organization as an essential medicine and is\u00a0 regarded by many as a \u201cmagic bullet\u201d for global health. 39\r\n\r\nOn February 9, 2021, the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, Haruo Ozaki, announced that Ivermectin seemed\u00a0 to be effective at stopping Covid 19 and publicly recommended that all doctors in Japan immediately begin using\u00a0 Ivermectin to treat Covid 19.40\r\n\r\nIt is interesting to note that only since the covid-19 pandemic began has the WHO changed its stance on the\u00a0 effectiveness of Ivermectin. While the WHO still admits that Ivermectin is on its essential medicines list (and therefore\u00a0 safe), the WHO now simply says that the evidence to support using Ivermectin as an effective treatment for Covid 19 is\u00a0 inconclusive, and that the guideline development group that they convened did not look at the use of Ivermectin to\u00a0 prevent Covid 19. One can only speculate as to why this group was not asked to look at that essential question. The\u00a0 WHO only says that this question was outside the scope of the current guidelines.41 It would seem that these much more\u00a0 expensive, experimental vaccines that were rushed to market under an emergency use authorization only, without proper\u00a0 testing and scrutiny, would be at least as inconclusive as the safe, tried and tested Ivermectin.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, Hydroxychloroquine is an approved and well-known treatment. Medical professionals have been coerced\u00a0 and forced to prescribe less efficacious, and even harmful, drugs. Deaths associated with adverse drug events (i.e.\u00a0 related to the use of Remdesivir42) should be considered as a separate count from COVID-19 deaths, as those deaths\u00a0 could have been avoided if these effective pharmaceuticals were implemented in a timely manner.\r\n\r\nSimple home remedies such as zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C, N-acetylcysteine, and quercetin are also well known and\u00a0 effective at helping COVID-19 patients to recover43. Dr. Vladimir Zev Zelenko has led the way with these treatments.\u00a0 In contrast, many doctors are still sending patients with COVID-19 home without any of these treatment options.\r\n\r\nWhy have you not promoted other effective treatment apart from the experimental vaccines, or even healthy lifestyle\u00a0 choices and vitamin D, since it is clear that obesity, high blood pressure and inactivity were largely responsible for\u00a0 COVID-19 related deaths? The opposite has happened with your policies of lockdowns, closures of parks, gyms, and\u00a0 sports programs, and the creation of fear and anxiety through constant media messaging. These all lower the function of\u00a0 the immune system and increase blood pressure, which are undesirable outcomes.\r\n\r\n<b>10.) DEFINITION AND COUNTS OF THE VACCINATED VS. UNVACCINATED\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Question: <\/b>Why have you made the definition of vaccinated and unvaccinated in your public health orders so misleading\u00a0 and contrary to common understanding?

These definitions are very misleading and help promote the false narrative that the\u00a0 unvaccinated are driving the upward trend of \u201ccases\u201d.\r\n\r\nYou alluded to the fact that boosters are likely to be required in B.C., at least for certain populations. As we are\u00a0 witnessing the rollout in other countries, we predict that the plan will be to require everyone to have a booster, or\u00a0 several boosters, eventually. Once 2 shots are no longer what is recommended as a full series of COVID-19 vaccines\u00a0 approved by the WHO, then no British Columbian will be considered \u201cvaccinated\u201d until a booster vaccine is taken.\r\n\r\nAlso, it has been noted that the WHO does not approve of mixing and matching vaccines. This is contrary to your\u00a0 definition of \u201cvaccinated\u201d in your current health order wherein you do approve of this practice. The WHO says this\u00a0 should not be done unless supportive evidence is available. What evidence are you relying upon to tell British\u00a0 Columbians that mixing and matching of COVID-19 vaccines is acceptable or safe? The WHO recommends that if\u00a0 someone has mixed and matched 2 different vaccines, no additional doses of either vaccine should be administered to\u00a0 that person.44 Why are you ignoring this advice? What science are you relying upon?\r\n\r\nFinally, Dr. Bonnie Henry, you quietly issued an additional health order on August 31, 2021 45, replacing the August 20,\u00a0 2021 health order. The new order issued on August 31, 2021 removed some terms and added others which included\u00a0 changing the definition of \u201cvaccinated\u201d from 14 days post a full series of vaccination approved by the WHO, down to 7\u00a0 days post-vaccination of an approved full series of WHO approved vaccines. Your September 2, 2021 Residential Care\u00a0 Staff Covid-19 Preventative Measures health order46 uses the same 7 day period. What science are you relying on to\u00a0 justify this change, as you have previously stated that it requires 14 days for the vaccines to work?\r\n\r\n<b>11.)

In light of the evidence\u00a0 and scientific research showing that vaccinated individuals are significantly more likely to contract the Delta variant\u00a0 than unvaccinated individuals47. You also say in your September 2, 2021 health order that you will not allow any staff\u00a0 member to be hired after October 11, 2021 unless they meet your definition of \u201cvaccinated\u201d.

The issue in that arbitration was that the hospital required healthcare workers to wear surgical\/procedure\u00a0 masks each year throughout the 5 to 6 month flu season if they had not received the vaccination for influenza. The\u00a0 Nurses Union alleged that the policy was an unreasonable exercise of management rights and a breach of employee\u00a0 privacy rights. At the time that Dr. Henry advocated in favor of the policy, she was the Deputy Provincial Health\u00a0 Officer for British Columbia.\r\n\r\nDr. Henry\u2019s testimony in that arbitration hearing is eerily similar to the narrative she has been telling British\u00a0 Columbians about the Covid 19 virus. Dr. Henry was a strong proponent that there was asymptomatic spread, that\u00a0 unvaccinated nurses and healthcare workers should wear masks, and supported mandating forcing employees to wear\u00a0 masks as a consequence of choosing not to get the vaccine.\r\n\r\nOn cross-examination Dr. Henry reluctantly admitted (at paragraph 161 of the arbitration decision) that there was not a\u00a0 lot of evidence to support the suggestion that asymptomatic shedding actually leads to effective transmission of the\u00a0 virus.\r\n\r\nAt paragraph 178 of the arbitration decision, the arbitrator notes that Dr. Henry concluded after admitting that \u201cI am\u00a0 not a huge fan of the masking piece\u201d, that \u201cthere is not a lot of evidence to support mask use\u2026\u201d\r\n\r\nAt Paragraph 219 Dr. Henry\u2019s evidence is summarized in part as follows:\r\n\r\nIt is a challenging issue and we have wrestled with it. I am not a huge fan of the masking piece. I think it was\u00a0 felt to be a reasonable alternative where there was a need to do-to feel that we were doing the best we can to try\u00a0 and reduce risk. I tried to be quite clear in my report that the evidence to support masking is not as great and it\u00a0 is certainly not as good a measure.\r\n\r\nIn the arbitration, the Nurses Union submitted that Dr. Henry was instrumental in the introduction of the \u201cvaccinate or\u00a0 mask\u201d policy in British Columbia (paragraph 256) and therefore Dr. Henry\u2019s objectivity was suspect. The arbitrator\u00a0 preferred the evidence of other experts over Dr. Henry and her colleagues\u2019 evidence.\r\n\r\nThe arbitrator noted that Dr. Henry defended the vaccine or mask policies as a way of preventing transmission from\u00a0 unvaccinated healthcare workers to their patients before symptom onset, or in cases of asymptomatic infection\u00a0 (paragraph 287). However, the arbitrator also noted (at paragraph 294) that while Dr. Henry stated there was \u201csome\u00a0 evidence that people shed prior to being symptomatic and some evidence of transmission\u201d but \u201cthere is not a lot of\u00a0 evidence around these pieces\u201d. Two other experts who testified on behalf of the hospital, one of whom Dr. Henry\u00a0 acknowledged her expertise, both admitted that the evidence of asymptomatic spread was \u201cscant\u201d.\r\n\r\nThe arbitrator held (at paragraph 297), while \u201cbearing in mind the concessions made about the quality of the evidence\u00a0 by Dr. McGeer and Dr. Henry\u201d, that the following opinion of another expert was more accurate:\r\n\r\nAlthough asymptomatic individuals may shed influenza virus, studies have not determined if such people\u00a0 effectively transmit influenza\u2026 Based on the available literature, we found that there is scant, if any, evidence\u00a0 that asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals play an important role in transmission.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe arbitrator held that the patient safety purpose and effect of masking was not established on the evidence and that\u00a0 the \u201cvaccine or mask\u201d requirement was reduced to a \u201ccoercive tool\u201d, a situation that would be troubling if made out. The arbitrator also noted (at paragraph 326) Dr. Henry\u2019s recognition that the wearing of a mass could be reasonably\u00a0 regarded as a \u201cconsequence\u201d for failure to consent to vaccination.\r\n\r\nThe arbitrator concluded (paragraph 327) that the vaccine or mask policy did not provide a legitimate accommodative\u00a0 purpose for healthcare workers who conscientiously object to immunization, but rather more closely resembled an\u00a0 unacceptable Hobson\u2019s choice (free choice). The arbitrator did not accept the argument that requiring unvaccinated\u00a0 staff to wear a mask may encourage truly voluntary immunization, nor did the arbitrator accept that the continuance of\u00a0 the minority employee group who choose to mask disproves the effectively coercive aspect of a vaccine or mask\u00a0 policy. The arbitrator noted that one of the nurses told her managers that \u201cI felt I was being publicly put on display for\u00a0 choosing not to get the flu shot. I told her I felt I was being bullied into it and harassed.\u201d\r\n\r\n49 https:\/\/www.canlii.org\/en\/on\/onla\/doc\/2015\/2015canlii62106\/2015canlii62106.pdf\r\n\r\nThe arbitrator concluded that the vaccine or mask policy was unreasonable and contravened KVP principles. Similar\u00a0 findings were made by another arbitrator in 2018 involving the St. Michael\u2019s Hospital and the Ontario Hospital\u00a0 Association v. The Ontario Nurses Association.50 51\r\n\r\nThe vaccine or mask policy in issue in the Ontario Nurses arbitrations is very similar to what is going on in British\u00a0 Columbia with covid-19. Just as the arbitrator found that a masking policy amounted to a coercive tool that was\u00a0 troubling, your policies requiring rapid antigen testing, PCR testing, and masking as a condition of employment, is\u00a0 nothing more than a coercive tool to pressure people to accept the experimental vaccine. As the arbitrator held in 2015,\u00a0 a policy with this purpose is \u201ctroubling\u201d.\r\n\r\nYou stated numerous times in your television briefings in 2020 that masks were not effective at preventing the spread\u00a0 of the Covid 19 virus.52 Now you claim that masks do work and that you never said they did not. There is a glaring\u00a0 discrepancy between the statements that you made under oath in 2015, and in your television briefings in 2020, compared to what you are saying now in your current health orders in 2021.\r\n\r\nPlease refer to the additional published studies confirming masks are not effective.53 54 Also, Dr. Byram Bridle\u2019s video\u00a0 also demonstrates that wearing 5 masks do not stop droplets from escaping and certainly do not prevent the Covid-19\u00a0 virus from passing through a non-medical mask or tightly woven clothing.55\r\n\r\nRequiring people to wear masks harms the user by reducing availability of oxygen, increasing bacterial growth within\u00a0 the fabric of the masks, leads to social issues for individuals that cannot mask for medical reasons, creates waste of\u00a0 materials and money, and contributes to further pollution and negative environmental impact.\r\n\r\nPlease provide the evidence you are relying upon that prove masks work.\r\n\r\n<b>Call To Action:<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b>\r\n\r\nDr. Henry, Mr. Dix and Mr. Horgan, the citizens of this province call on you to answer to these questions, directly and truthfully.\u00a0 British Columbians will no longer tolerate the trampling of our rights, segregation, and division amongst neighbors and families.\u00a0 We respect different perspectives and opinions; however, everyone deserves to see the scientific evidence you are relying upon\u00a0 to justify your public health orders.
