One Line Summary A Quebec resident describes developing grade six Bell’s palsy after AstraZeneca vaccination and ongoing paralysis with barriers to official recognition and compensation. Synopsis Carole Avoine testified that she received a dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on April 22, 2021, and approximately twenty days later developed facial paralysis diagnosed as Bell’s palsy. An electromyogram confirmed grade six paralysis, indicating severe nerve dysfunction. She reported associated symptoms including hearing loss in her left ear and inability to close her eye for several months. Two years later, her condition stabilized at grade three paralysis, requiring nightly eye taping, limiting speech and eating, and necessitating ongoing Botox injections She stated that when she asked emergency and ENT physicians whether there could be a link between her vaccination and paralysis, both dismissed the possibility without providing detailed reasoning or documenting the concern in her medical file. She further reported a postmenopausal bleeding episode lasting two weeks despite no hormonal medication changes other than vaccination. Avoine attempted to access Quebec’s public vaccine injury compensation program but was unable to proceed because it required a physician’s signature affirming a vaccine link, which doctors declined to provide. She independently submitted an adverse event report through AstraZeneca’s website, which generated a form sent to her physician. She ultimately declined a second vaccine dose and testified to ongoing challenges in obtaining formal recognition of her injury. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Locomotive engineer Sean Howe testified that a federal vaccine mandate placed him on eight months of unpaid leave, costing approximately $80,000 in income and forcing his family into debt before he was reinstated. Synopsis Sean Howe testified that he has worked for a federally regulated Canadian railway since 2011, becoming a locomotive engineer in 2015. When the federal vaccine mandate took effect on November 15, 2021, he declined vaccination and was placed on indefinite unpaid leave. He stated that the mandate applied broadly to federally regulated sectors and was not specific to the railway itself. The leave lasted approximately eight months until the mandate was rescinded in June 2022, after which he was reinstated. Howe testified that his annual income dropped from approximately $160,000 to about one-third of that amount after finding temporary work in construction and renovations. He estimated total losses of roughly $80,000 and reported incurring approximately $40,000 in new debt. He stated that he relied on equity from a recent home sale and personal credit to survive financially. He did not apply for employment insurance but testified that others were reportedly denied benefits because their records listed them as “dismissed with cause.” He further testified that hundreds of employees were similarly placed on leave and that some religious or treaty-based exemptions were granted at other railways. Upon returning to work, he described mostly positive reactions from colleagues, though some workplace division remained. Howe concluded that while his primary hardship was economic, the financial stress had broader mental and emotional impacts on his family. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

Synopsis Josephine Fillier testified that she is a stay-at-home mother of three from St. John’s, Newfoundland, and received one dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on June 18, 2021 in order to travel to visit her partner. She stated she was apprehensive prior to vaccination and reported that risks were not discussed beyond common short-term effects. Shortly after returning home, she developed severe burning pain in her right leg that persisted long-term and progressed to swelling, lumps, internal vibrations, tremors, numbness, and chronic nerve pain. She identified the vaccine lot number as FA9093. Fillier testified that her family physician dismissed her concerns for months despite ongoing physical symptoms. She stated that blood work and D-dimer testing returned normal results, but a neurologist later suggested a possible dysautonomia or autoimmune response and recommended MRI and further testing. She reported escalating mental health symptoms following vaccination, including severe panic attacks, chest pain, chronic fatigue, anger, and worsening anxiety beyond her pre-existing depression and PTSD history. She submitted a report to the Canadian adverse event reporting system herself after alleging her doctor declined to do so. She further testified that after attending the Freedom Convoy in early 2022 and removing her children from school during that period, child protection authorities removed her two sons from her custody on February 8, 2022. She stated that one child has since returned home and the other is in the process of transitioning back. She described loss of trust in pharmaceutical products and healthcare providers following her experience. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Radio journalist Michael Welch testified that after 11 years of award-winning work, his program was suspended and dropped following COVID interviews that challenged official narratives, and he was pressured to align with government messaging. Synopsis Michael Welch testified that for 11 years prior to COVID-19, his nationally syndicated campus radio program, Global Research News Hour, focused on investigative topics often overlooked by mainstream media and had received awards and positive recognition. When the pandemic began, he continued his established approach by interviewing credentialed experts who questioned prevailing narratives, including Sucharit Bhakdi, Meryl Nass, Jane Orient, and Peter McCullough. He testified that efforts to organize balanced debates were unsuccessful because mainstream-aligned experts refused participation, and that dissenting guests were characterized as fringe despite substantial credentials. Welch stated that after broadcasting COVID-critical content, listener complaints increased and a March 2021 article in a Vancouver newspaper labeled his program as linked to “pandemic conspiracy theories.” Following this media attention, CJSF radio in Vancouver temporarily suspended the program, which he testified has effectively become permanent, and additional stations subsequently dropped the show. He described submitting a detailed defense letter to the station arguing for open debate and freedom of dissenting speech but received no response. He further testified that a board representative explicitly told him the station needed to align with the government narrative and that doctors “across the board” supported official policy. Welch described this as unprecedented in his career and indicative of broader pressures within journalism to conform. He concluded that dissenting viewpoints are increasingly labeled as misinformation rather than debated openly and expressed concern that independent journalism in Canada faces growing structural suppression. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Dr. Daniel Nagase testified that he was disciplined after treating COVID-19 patients with ivermectin and alleged systemic ethical violations in pandemic-era medical care. Synopsis Dr. Daniel Nagase, an emergency room physician, testified regarding his treatment of three critically ill elderly patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in September 2021 using ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamins, and supportive therapies. He stated that the patients improved significantly within 18 hours and survived. Following this, he reported being removed from scheduled shifts by Alberta Health Services and subjected to complaints to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta, which imposed restrictions preventing him from treating patients with COVID or suspected COVID. He also described subsequent suspension and disciplinary actions by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, including proceedings related to public statements he made about COVID-19 treatments and mRNA vaccines. Dr. Nagase asserted that regulatory bodies engaged in punitive and retaliatory actions against him despite the survival of his patients. He described difficulties renewing or resigning his licence and detailed a disciplinary process in British Columbia related to a public speech. He characterized these actions as examples of censorship and professional suppression during the pandemic. In addition to his personal experience, Dr. Nagase discussed two cases involving hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Alberta and British Columbia. He alleged inappropriate use of mechanical ventilation, administration of baricitinib, and post-recovery COVID-19 vaccination in critically ill patients, which he linked to adverse outcomes. He expressed concerns about coercive medical practices, transplant eligibility tied to vaccination status, and what he described as ethical failures driven by fear, obedience to policy, and loss of independent clinical judgment. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Virologist presents concerns about mRNA vaccine platform design, regulatory approval processes, and potential long-term biological risks. Synopsis Dr. Jonathan Couey, a biomedical scientist with expertise in virology and molecular genetics, testified regarding concerns about the design and implementation of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. He described the technology as a novel gene-based platform utilizing lipid nanoparticles to deliver genetic instructions encoding the spike protein. He raised questions about biodistribution, persistence of spike protein expression, and potential unintended biological effects, asserting that the technology was deployed under emergency authorization without long-term safety data. He testified that regulatory agencies relied on limited trial data and that post-marketing surveillance systems may not have adequately captured adverse events. He expressed concern about immune imprinting, repeated booster administration, and the impact of widespread vaccination during active viral circulation. He further argued that the vaccines functioned as a form of genetic therapy and should have been regulated under stricter standards traditionally applied to gene-based interventions. Dr. Couey emphasized the precautionary principle, particularly for low-risk populations such as children and young adults. He stated that informed consent requires full disclosure of uncertainties and potential risks, and he criticized what he characterized as censorship of dissenting scientific views. He concluded by advocating for independent investigation, transparent regulatory review, and reconsideration of mass vaccination strategies. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Software developer describes prolonged symptoms after Moderna vaccination and alleges her adverse event report was excluded from surveillance data. Synopsis Madison Lowe testified that she chose to receive two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine after reviewing Government of Canada website data on adverse events and distributed doses. She stated that she relied on the publicly available figures to conduct a personal risk-benefit assessment and assumed that adverse event data were collected rigorously and transparently. She also testified that she did not recall receiving detailed information about risks or unknowns at the time of vaccination. Three days after her second dose, Lowe reported new symptoms including elevated resting heart rate, episodes of tachycardia reaching 130 beats per minute, anxiety, and significant exacerbation of pre-existing gastrointestinal issues. She stated that these symptoms persisted for approximately six months before gradually improving, though she reported not being fully recovered. She consulted her physician, who agreed to submit an adverse event report. Lowe testified that Alberta Health Services later informed her that her report would not be entered into the surveillance database because her symptoms were not considered a known side effect. She stated that this led her to question the integrity of post-marketing surveillance and the completeness of publicly reported data. She recommended that future pharmaceutical oversight include comprehensive data collection, independent statistical analysis, public disclosure of methods and conflicts of interest, and transparent communication of risks and unknowns. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

Synopsis Katrina Burns testified that she worked as a substitute teacher within the Halifax Regional Centre for Education and began a long-term Grade 2/3 position at Sycamore Elementary in September 2021. She described extensive school COVID protocols, including masking, sanitizing, limited movement within schools, and strict illness screening. She testified that masking negatively affected students’ emotional expression, breathing comfort, and social interaction, and that some children exhibited anxiety related to COVID transmission concerns. Burns stated that she declined COVID vaccination due to concerns about rapid rollout and perceived pressure. She described experiencing intense social pressure from community members and family. She further testified about a hospital visit in October 2021 for chest pain, during which she believed her unvaccinated status resulted in differential treatment and dismissal of her cardiac concerns. When Nova Scotia implemented mandatory vaccination for teachers in October 2021, she applied for an exemption, which was denied. She offered to continue masking and undergo regular testing, but this alternative was rejected. She testified that she was placed on unpaid administrative leave effective December 1, 2021, after training her replacement and completing parent-teacher interviews. Multiple parents expressed support for her retention, including a written letter to provincial officials. Burns stated that losing her position led to financial strain, relocation from her community, strained relationships, and significant mental health impact for her and her family. She concluded that the experience fundamentally changed her trust in institutions and her approach to questioning public policy. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary A kindergarten teacher and former medical student describes extensive correspondence with pediatricians, alleging public silence on child vaccination concerns and harmful developmental effects of pandemic measures. Synopsis Marc-André Paquette, a kindergarten teacher and former medical student, testified that he became concerned early in the pandemic about the impact of public health measures on children’s social and emotional development. He described observing that many relational behaviors he fostered in his classroom became restricted after the first lockdown. He took unpaid leave to avoid enforcing measures he considered harmful and organized or participated in parent and educator collectives advocating for children. Paquette detailed extensive email exchanges with pediatricians and public health physicians, including members of the Association des pédiatres du Québec (APQ). He asserted that pediatricians initially supported positions minimizing harm to children but later became publicly silent or altered their stance. He described submitting questions regarding RNA vaccination of children to multiple experts and stated that he received no substantive answers addressing concerns about precautionary principles and informed consent. He also cited an internal APQ notice questioning masking and vaccination policies for primary school children, which he said was not publicly disseminated and that he later circulated independently. He argued that media silence and lack of visible expert dissent contributed to stricter implementation of measures in schools and childhood environments, reinforcing fear and limiting debate. He concluded that the measures imposed on children were disproportionate and harmful, and expressed hope that public examination of these events would encourage greater professional courage and earlier intervention in future public health crises. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary A former French infectious disease professor critiques pandemic measures, vaccine safety, WHO governance, and institutional influence during COVID-19. Synopsis Dr. Christian Perronne, a French professor of infectious and tropical diseases and former advisor to French and WHO vaccination bodies, testified regarding his opposition to COVID-19 public health policies and described professional consequences he experienced, including media exclusion and disciplinary proceedings, which were ultimately dismissed. He stated that he publicly criticized early pandemic measures in France, including mask policy shifts, lockdowns, hospital treatment directives, and the restriction of hydroxychloroquine, which he described as an effective early treatment. He characterized PCR mass testing practices as inappropriate for asymptomatic screening and asserted that epidemic waves were amplified through high cycle thresholds. He further alleged that institutional responses were influenced by pharmaceutical industry funding and private consulting firms, describing what he characterized as systemic corruption affecting public health leadership, media, and international organizations. Drawing on his experience within WHO advisory groups, he expressed concern about pharmaceutical funding influence, the growing role of private foundations in global vaccine policy, and proposed international pandemic treaty mechanisms that could centralize authority. He also described a lack of open scientific debate and media adversarial discourse during the crisis. Regarding COVID-19 vaccines, Dr. Perronne described them as experimental products deployed without adequate long-term evaluation. He raised concerns about potential genomic integration of mRNA, excess mortality trends following vaccination campaigns, reported adverse event increases, declining birth rates, and cancer progression patterns, which he associated with vaccine rollout. He concluded that early outpatient treatment, physician-led care, and targeted isolation of symptomatic individuals would have been preferable to mass vaccination and lockdown strategies. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Dr. Jessica Rose testified that VAERS data shows unprecedented post-rollout safety signals, including myocarditis and clotting events, and raised concerns about spike protein toxicity, lipid nanoparticle distribution, DNA contamination, and failures in pharmacovigilance oversight. Synopsis Dr. Jessica Rose testified that the COVID-19 mRNA products were rushed through truncated clinical trials in which placebo groups were unblinded and long-term safety data were lost. She stated that genuine long-term safety testing was impossible within the compressed timeline and argued that the “safe and effective” claims were not supported by adequate follow-up. She further testified that early VAERS data in January 2021 already demonstrated a strong safety signal, including hundreds of reported deaths, and that the scale of reported adverse events was historically unprecedented compared to prior vaccines. She calculated a 1,300–1,400% increase in VAERS reporting metrics in 2021 and argued that underreporting likely means actual injury counts are significantly higher. Rose testified that the lipid nanoparticle delivery system distributes beyond the injection site, including to the liver and ovaries, and that spike protein production may persist in multiple tissues. She described potential mechanisms for harm involving ACE2 binding, renin–angiotensin system dysregulation, clotting cascade disruption, and persistent spike-mediated inflammation. She further discussed the possibility that amyloidogenic spike fragments could contribute to unusual fibrous clots described by embalmers, and she questioned whether some myocarditis diagnoses in youth may instead represent cardiac amyloidosis. She also raised concerns about reported double-stranded DNA contamination from plasmid templates used in manufacturing. She testified that pharmacovigilance systems such as VAERS are not being properly utilized, alleging that proportional reporting ratio analyses, Bayesian assessments, and causality investigations have not been conducted as historically done. She criticized suppression of adverse event reporting, discouragement within clinical settings, and professional consequences for researchers raising safety concerns. Rose concluded that while definitive genomic integration evidence is not yet established, the theoretical potential exists, and she called for greater transparency, independent oversight, autopsy investigation, and immediate reassessment of ongoing vaccine administration. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.

One Line Summary Alberta constitutional lawyer describes defending churches and religious objectors during COVID and alleges systemic failure of Charter religious protections. Synopsis James Kitchen, an Alberta constitutional lawyer, testified regarding his involvement in multiple COVID-era legal challenges, particularly those involving church closures and arrests of Christian pastors. He described advising Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church prior to his arrest and subsequent 35-day imprisonment for refusing bail conditions that would have restricted him from holding church services. He further detailed the physical seizure of GraceLife Church by authorities and described assisting church leadership in organizing alternative services. He also referenced the arrests of Pastor Tim Stephens and legal proceedings related to Church in the Vine, including a court’s refusal to permit argument under section 2(a) of the Charter. Kitchen testified that, in his view, freedom of religion protections became effectively hollow during the pandemic. He described instances where courts dismissed or declined to hear Charter arguments related to religious freedom and argued that prosecutors routinely characterized religious claims as trivial or insubstantial. He compared Canadian outcomes to certain U.S. cases where churches successfully challenged restrictions. He further criticized the “living tree” constitutional doctrine and stated that judicial interpretation significantly narrows practical Charter protections. He also testified extensively about religious exemption requests related to vaccine mandates. According to his testimony, most Christian clients seeking accommodation were denied, often with standardized responses questioning the sincerity or theological validity of their beliefs. He described what he characterized as arbitrary decision-making processes, including a case where multiple university appeals were granted only after his intervention. He concluded by expressing concern about the limited number of civil liberties lawyers in Canada, the high cost of constitutional litigation, and the broader societal consequences if courts fail to provide effective remedies for alleged rights violations. 🔎 How to Search the Transcript Click the “Read Transcript” button to open the witness testimony in your browser.
