The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms filed legal action against Seneca College representing four students who are being denied access to campus because of their vaccination status..On Aug. 30, 2021, the Toronto college was instructed by the Ontario government to provide students with three options: show proof of double vaccination, provide a medical exemption to be approved by the school or offer a vaccine education session and testing option..Seneca College is not offering a testing option to students..The Justice Centre outlines that students were not provided with all the known risks of the COVID-19 vaccinations — including Bell’s Palsy, myocarditis, pericarditis, and thrombosis — before being told they would need them to complete their education..Health Canada issued warnings for those conditions for the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson vaccines..“All of the COVID-19 vaccines are experimental, as they are in clinical trials until 2023,” said the Justice Centre in a news release..“As a result, there is no long-term safety data available for these vaccines.”.Evidence is overwhelming that vaccines do not stop transmission..“On Jan. 14, 2022 in Ontario, for example, the Ontario government reported there were 8518 Covid-19 cases in the fully vaccinated, and 1458 cases in the unvaccinated,” said the Justice Centre..“The science and data are clear that both vaccinated and unvaccinated Ontarians spread COVID-19. These mandates serve only to punish the students for their lack of compliance,” said Allison Pejovic, Justice Centre lawyer..All four students represented in the lawsuit were set to graduate in April 2022, but now none of them can complete their programs online..These delays result in struggling to make student loan payments, having to find lower paying employment, and delay in their careers, said the claim.There has been no evidence showing post-secondary education vaccine mandates will prevent the spread of COVID-19..Additionally, the students in this lawsuit and the majority of post-secondary education students are under 49 years old..That age group has a 99.98% chance of recovery of COVID-19, according to the Centre for Disease Control..“Seneca College has no scientific basis upon which to exclude these students who have a vanishingly small risk of death from Covid,”.added Andre Memauri, Justice Centre lawyer..Ewa Sudyk is a reporter for the Western Standard.,.esudyk@westernstandardonline.com
