At a press conference on the lawn of a Saskatoon high school, University of Saskatchewan Professors Dr. Francis Christian and family physician Dr. Chong Wong said students needed informed consent prior to COVID-19 vaccinations..“The principle of informed consent is being consistently violated in this province for the m-RNA vaccine for our kids. I have not met a single vaccinated child or parent who has been adequately informed and who then understands the risks of this vaccine or its benefits,” said Christian, a clinical professor of general surgery..Christian presented eight points he believed are required for informed consent. He said m-RNA vaccines were an experimental design never used on people before, and have never received full approval. In Canada, they have “interim authorization,” and in the U.S. it is “emergency use authorization.”.He questioned the emergency, given the average age of Canadian COVID-19 deaths was 83.8 years and the chances of a child dying of covid was under 0.003%..“Children do not readily transmit the covid virus to adults,” Christian said..“In many countries teachers had significantly lower rates of COVID-19 than the general population.”.Christian, who is also a Director of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety for the Saskatchewan Health Authority, said the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System maintained by the US government revealed 5,888 deaths from the jab as of June 4..Christian said the number was “unusual” and “in any other drug or vaccine they would have been sufficient to stop the whole program – a pause, a regrouping and certainly a big signal to not give it to our kids.”.Germany does not recommend the vaccine to healthy children and adolescents, and the U.K. is not authorizing it for children..Christian said the jab’s “serious medical problems for kids all over the world” included a potentially fatal inflammation of the heart called myocarditis. Meanwhile, the absolute risk reduction of the jab preventing COVID-19 for children was less than 2%..Christian recommended a pause on vaccinating student, and presented Ivermectin as an alternative for all ages, but lamented that this “common, cheap, and very safe drug is being blocked in many Western countries.”.“Without informed consent, the Nuremberg code is being violated – and many physicians across Canada and around the world are rising up to honor their pledge to always put their patients and humanity first,” he said..Family physician Dr. Chong Wong thanked Premier Scott Moe and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab for their best efforts..“They always are comfortable pushing, encouraging people to get the vaccine and I understand that they are sold on that. But what they are missing is that we do not have true informed consent,” Wong said..“In the name of humanity, in the name of respect for other people, we must have knowledge. [If] we do not have knowledge, we do not have true informed consent. And this is the foundation of our society.”.The U of S clinical lecturer at the Centre for Integrative Medicine has been a family physician since 1986. He presents the facts and lets patients decide..“Any drug that I prescribe, even for my patients, I always tell them the good things about it and also the bad things about it. Then they decide themselves what they want at risk of them saying I don’t want it. That’s a risk I take to tell them the truth,” Wong said..“The letters that we received, sent out on June 11 by Saskatchewan Health Authority reminds us that this is a voluntary vaccine…They recommend that the child speaks to the parents or the guardian. That’s what we call informed consent…but we do need information to do that.”.The Thursday press conference was organized by Concerned Parents Saskatchewan and held at Walter Murray Collegiate on the second day of a vaccination campaign. High schools across Regina and Saskatoon have provided vaccination onsite, but public schools in Moose Jaw have not..Harding is a Western Standard correspondent based in Saskatchewan
