Dr. Eric Payne says he supports vaccinations and he and his family are all caught up on their yearly flu shots, but he is declining the COVID-19 vaccines, believing them to not yet be fully tested..The decision could cost Payne his job as AHS threatens to put him on “unpaid leave of absence to allow for compliance.”.Payne is a doctor in the Pediatric Neurocritical Care & Epilepsy department at the Alberta Children’s Hospital along with being an assistant professor of Pediatrics & Neurology at the University of Calgary..Payne wrote a 19-page letter to the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) on September 14 detailing his position and protesting the possible loss of his job..“Let me please provide the perspective of a physician who loves his job, cares deeply about his patients, and continues to avoid the mRNA vaccines,” Payne wrote..“I am also a father of three young children and remain very much pro-vaccine. While I refuse to take this novel experimental mRNA therapy, my wife, children, and I are completely vaccinated, including yearly flu shots. This is not a contradictory stance as these current mRNA vaccines represent a dramatic departure from using, for instance, live attenuated viruses. Rather, they represent a completely novel and experimental therapy with no long-term data.” .AHS President Dr. Verna Yiu issued a mandatory vaccine order to all staff, physicians and volunteers, and stated workers are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, by Oct.31, 2021..“I am now faced with the impending possibility of an unpaid leave of absence to allow for compliance. I am so disappointed by this extreme AHS coercion and truly hope that the CPSA will steer clear of mandating this as a condition of my license,” Payne wrote, adding that would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms..“The Alberta provincial government is presently circumventing these rights with Bill 10 — the public health emergency powers amendment act. These forced experimental mRNA vaccine mandates also directly violate the internationally accepted Nuremberg code, which was developed in 1947 to protect patients from medical experimentation..“It is because I am informed, that I do not voluntarily consent to these injections.”.Payne argued that even with a 100% vaccination rate, COVID-19 would not be completely eradicated..“Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, shared evidence and publicly acknowledged that we cannot eradicate COVID-19 and are rather transitioning from a COVID-19 pandemic to endemic,” Payne said, adding smallpox is the only human virus successfully eradicated through vaccination..Payne told the college the pandemic has been especially hard on children, having to endure lockdown after lockdown..“I have seen more devastating neurologic conversion disorders and psychiatric disease — including several heart-breaking teenage suicide attempts — than I have my entire career. In contrast, I have not encountered a single child with neurological sequelae from COVID-19 itself,” he wrote..“While I grew to respect and trust long-standing health organizations like the (World Health Organization) and (Centres for Disease Control), financial and political interests have crippled their independence, and during this pandemic, they have egregiously misrepresented facts and helped to censor scientific experts worldwide. .“These organizations that inform Canada health policy are completely compromised by vaccine and big pharma interest money.”.In an interview Monday, Payne told the Western Standard he will keep his position even if it means he gets fired..He said the mandating of the vaccine was his main concern and he didn’t expect the letter to be made public. Payne said he hasn’t heard anything back from the college..“I have a seven-year-old, and fairly soon a vaccine mandate may come down for them — there’s no reason, they’re not at risk,” Payne said, adding research has should to vaccinate a person who has already had COVID-19 may cause them additional damage.”.“It would be nice to have a real conversation about the facts.”.Payne said he expects parents to finally push bach when it comes to forced vaccination and “I’m going to keep talking.”.Payne said some “absolute lies” and “100% censorship” have been used in various COVID-19 arguments..The issue has been growing in Canada since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he was making vaccinations mandatory in the federal public service..Since then airlines, governments, sports stadiums and private businesses have all made vaccines mandatory for their staff..Protests against mandatory vaccinations have happened weekly across the country..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
