How does one even begin to describe the massive deception and human rights violation that was the Covid-19 vaccine mandate?

I took up Dean Allison's invitation to attend his Inquiry proceedings on Covid vaccine injuries. He had made the invitation during the course of a C3RF "In Hot" video interview in late August 2026 and promised a big surprise for the first day of the proceedings. He would not divulge exactly what it was and so I was surprised when I entered the parliamentary committee room in the Wellington Building to see Senator Ron Johnson sitting in the witness chair. I later found out that this is the first time that a U.S. Senator has testified, under oath, in a parliamentary hearing. This was going to be an historic event.

Editor's note: How does one even begin to describe the massive deception and human rights violation that was the Covid-19 vaccine mandate? This was a "vaccine", more aptly called a gene therapy injection, that was insufficiently tested and based on a technology that had never previously been used in "vaccines". It had also triggered major safety signals in the inadequate animal studies available even as its use among the vaccinated human population was declared "safe and effective" by the powers that be who then mandated its use. Medical exemptions were almost impossible to obtain. Those who refused to take the vaccine could lose their jobs and many did. The unvaccinated were barred from restaurants, theatres, recreational and sports facilities, and most other public venues. There were even suggestions to bar them from grocery stores. Despite a mounting toll of serious injuries and deaths, the vaccine mandate stood. Doctors who raised questions lost their licences. Those who attributed the sudden onset of severe symptoms or illness to the vaccine they had recently received were often disbelieved and mocked.

But finally, some questions are being raised. In May 2025, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) initiated hearings on how health authorities downplayed and hid the adverse effects of the vaccine and additional hearings have been held since. And here in Canada, the vaccine-injured and those who lost a loved one to the vaccine were finally able to tell their stories at hearings organized by Conservative MP Dean Allison, held September 8-11. To their discredit, the mainstream (government-funded) media were absent, but independent media were well-represented. Here Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) reports on the first day of the hearings. Watch for more about those hearings in this space!
