Witness Testimony

Dr. Michel Chossudovsky, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Ottawa, testified that the COVID-19 crisis was constructed through what he described as four interconnected pillars: pandemic declaration, economic collapse, vaccination campaigns, and debt expansion. He challenged the validity of PCR testing as a diagnostic tool, asserting that early WHO emergency declarations were based on minimal case counts and that mortality figures were administratively inflated through health ministry directives. He cited a Quebec directive identifying COVID-19 as a probable cause of death without mandatory testing or autopsy and argued that such policies created artificially elevated mortality statisti
From an economic perspective, Chossudovsky maintained that lockdowns were not public health responses but engineered measures that triggered global financial collapse, small business bankruptcies, unemployment, famine in vulnerable regions, and concentration of wealth among financial elites. He alleged that prior knowledge of WHO announcements enabled speculative gains in financial markets and referenced institutional actors in global finance. He characterized the simultaneous implementation of lockdowns across approximately 190 countries as evidence of coordinated policy action rather than organic national decision-making.
Regarding vaccination, he cited Pfizer’s internal pharmacovigilance report covering December 2020 to February 2021, which catalogued adverse events, and argued that mass deployment continued despite safety data. He described the vaccine as inherently dangerous and framed continued distribution as transitioning from regulatory negligence to criminal liability. He concluded that the broader crisis reflects consolidation of economic power, expansion of public debt, erosion of democratic legitimacy, and the need for civil society to question institutional authority.
