Medical doctors and scientists continue to speak out against the harm being caused by current COVID-19 mandates including thousands worldwide who have recently signed the “Rome Declaration” at the recent “Rome Covid Summit”; their aim is to restore the physician-patient relationship, by removing political censorship and interference and allowing physicians to put the health of their patients first and foremost.

Closer to home, just like the recent open letter to British Columbia Health officials that was sent out by a group of Okanagan medical doctors and UBC faculty, more Canadian doctors and scientists continue to speak out against the mandates.

A pro-vaccine pediatric neurologist and researcher from Alberta Children’s Hospital wrote an open letter to the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) Council explaining that it is precisely because he is informed, that he does not voluntarily consent to the experimental COVID-19 injections.

He goes on to explain his rationale, including the scientific evidence that is showing that these experimental injections do not stop the transmission of disease, are creating more variants, have a high risk-to-benefit ratio especially in children and young people, growing evidence of Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) that leads to more severe outcomes as now being seen in highly vaccinated countries such as Israel, and the censorship being done to silence those in the medical and science community who are voicing their concerns.

Last week, a large group in Alberta of over 3,500 healthcare practitioners, including physicians, nurses, and paramedics sent an open letter to Alberta Health Services with their medical, scientific, legal, and ethical concerns regarding the COVID-19 vaccine mandate that they believe will create a critical staff shortage as thousands of workers are prepared to leave the healthcare system rather than participate in the experimental injections.

Below is their entire open letter.

HEALTH PROFESSIONALS UNITED
Standing Together Against Mandatory Vaccines

Dear Dr. Verna Yiu:

This open letter is in response to your announcement of mandatory full vaccination for all AHS staff by Oct 31, 2021. We represent a wide range of vaccinated and unvaccinated health care professionals from multiple disciplines, who are deeply concerned about these mandatory vaccinations.

There are many reasons why we stand against mandatory vaccination and highlight some of them below. These concerns are supported by peer reviewed publications and statements by established organizations:

• These mRNA vaccines have NOT been proven to prevent disease uptake nor disease transmission supported by the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report August 6, 2021 / 70(31);1059-1062 (among other reports) where it is stated “Real-time RT-PCR Ct values in specimens from 127 fully vaccinated patients (median = 22.77) were similar to those among 84 patients who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown (median = 21.54)”. Asymptomatic unvaccinated people have never been proven to be more infectious or transmit more disease than vaccinated individuals.
• The overall survival rate from covid is approximately 99.7% and varies by age and underlying health status.
• The vaccine is showing weakened efficacy after only a few months. AHS’s own data shows currently approximately 25% of all new cases are in fully vaccinated patients and over 18% of hospitalizations are also fully vaccinated with percentages increasing as weeks go by.
• The United Kingdom and Israel – two highly vaccinated countries have extremely high percentages of hospitalized patients being fully vaccinated. Indeed, the Israeli Public Health Department recently estimated the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine had fallen to 39% against the Delta variant and another recent study from the Mayo clinic had similar numbers at 42%.
• Historically, scientific consensus has been that natural immunity is superior to vaccine immunity. Many health care workers are already Covid recovered and immune. What evidence does AHS have for mandatory vaccines in those individuals?
• As front-line health care workers, we have witnessed serious adverse events, including deaths, that were temporally, closely associated from the administration of these vaccines.
• As per VAERS data (US vaccine injury database), Aug 27, 2021, at least 650,077 people in the US have been injured and 13,911 people have died soon after the administration of the Covid vaccine. These numbers could actually be 10-100x higher as a Harvard study showed only 1-10% of all adverse events are actually recorded. The Harvard study’s findings are corroborated by our experience that the vast majority of temporally related adverse events are not being correlated and reported by healthcare workers. If we don’t correlate these temporally related events and report them, the data will never be there to accurately assess causality and truly ensure safety, which is the bedrock to obtaining proper informed consent.
• We believe that the proposed vaccine mandate is contrary to section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms “freedom of conscience and religion” as well as section 7, “the right to life, liberty and the security of the person and the right to not be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.”

Based on our experience, the above arguments (plus others not listed in this letter) and our evaluation of the current literature, we decisively conclude that we are in strong opposition to mandatory vaccination. As of Nov 1, 2021, or earlier, AHS’s decision to implement such a mandate will prevent many dedicated health care workers and other AHS staff from performing the jobs they have done valiantly over the past eighteen months. This will put our currently severely strained health care system under further undue and needless pressure and put more Albertans at risk due to our inability to provide care for our patients. We respectfully request that the vaccine mandate be rescinded immediately so that AHS Health care workers can continue to provide care for Albertans.
