About 100 people gathered outdoors at the University of Saskatchewan to support Dr. Francis Christian following his dismissal as professor of surgery over his outspoken opposition to the lack of true informed consent for minors vaccinated for COVID-19..RB Wintringham emceed the Tuesday event and offered commentary..“Thanks for all you showing up to support Dr. Christian and the other very strong and courageous doctors throughout this land and across the world (who) are standing up and speaking truth to power, because we need more and more of it. And we have to show them we have their backs,” said Wintringham, who has received seven fines for breaking public health orders.. Citizens rally to support U of S professor sacked over commentsDr. Francis Christian .“I was a product of my schooling, right? I believed a lot of what I was told, because I was indoctrinated. A lot of us are. A lot of doctors have been ‘indoctornated’, if you know what I mean.”.Mei Ling Wong, wife of Dr. Chong Wong – who has also said children need to be more informed about vaccinations – encouraged those present to engage with people who may think differently..“What weighs heavily on my heart is that over the last 15 months, I have found, just as Dr. Christian and many other truth seekers have found, there are many highly reputable and eminent physicians, experts in their fields of microbiology, immunology, and other fields of expertise, who are calling for the immediate cessation of these COVID-19 vaccines. The question is, why are their voices not being heard by the ordinary person in the street?” Wong asked..Steve Flippin, Pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church, which has been fined for defying public health orders, read from Proverbs 1:,“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction,” then said, “We are being led by a bunch of fools.”.Flippin prayed that society’s leaders would get their eyes opened and have wisdom, that the truth would be made known, and for “more men like Francis Christian, men of integrity, men willing to stand and do the right thing, even at the cost of their own reputation, at the cost of their own comfort, simply because it’s the right thing.”.In light of Bill C-10 and Bill C-36 – seeking to regulate Internet content – online broadcaster Mark Friesen said every cherished freedom relies on the freedom to speak..“Eight months ago, 10 months ago, 15 months ago, I was getting e-mailed by doctors in Saskatchewan that were screaming, ‘This is wrong, what we’re doing is wrong,” but they couldn’t come forward for fear of losing their job. That’s not the country I grew up believing I lived in where you can stifle respectable, educated, intelligent doctors. Were in a bad, bad place. And it is now up to us to defend not only our personal rights, but the rights of every individual,” Friesen said..“Freedoms that thousands of soldiers, Canadian soldiers, gave their lives defending are under attack right now. So it’s our responsibility to take on the job of defending freedom of speech and our ability to speak truth to power. Without that we have nothing.”.Harding is a Western Standard correspondent based in Saskatchewan
