Dean Allison, of Niagara West, says many people didn't get to speak in September
Niagara West MP Dean Allison will be giving more people a chance to tell their claims of being hurt by COVID-19 vaccines.
In an update last week following his September inquiry, he noted doctors who had patients impacted. "Dr. Charles Hoffe told us that he repeatedly tried to submit reports to BC Public Health, and they were constantly rejected. Could there be thousands more Canadians who's experiences have never been properly documented?"
He repeated people lost jobs and homes from health problems, and many died. "One of the most troubling things we heard at the Allison Inquiry was the frustration of Canadians experiencing when trying to obtain answers, medical support and compensation. Many described feeling abandoned by the institutions they had trusted."
He made comparisons to Canada's tainted blood scandal, in which roughly $2-billion in compensation was paid out. "Compare that to the minuscule amount of $20-million that our vaccine injured have received so far, which raises an important question for today.... have we learned anything from our past mistakes?"
Lawyer Shawn Buckley compared Health Canada with other countries. "Why is it that there is a long list of countries that do not permit the injection of COVID-19 vaccines on their children and teenagers?"
