Open Letter to the Government of Canada and the Honourable Members of Parliament
Re: Urgent Action Required – Federal Accountability for COVID-19 Vaccine Injured Canadians
To Our Honourable Members of Parliament,
Canada must do better.
We are failing the injured—and in doing so, failing the very principles that define us as a nation.
Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every Canadian is guaranteed the right to life, liberty, and security of the person (Section 7), equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination (Section 15), and access to fundamental justice. Additionally, under Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every Canadian is guaranteed freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. Yet many Canadians who speak publicly about their vaccine injuries are marginalized, discredited, or censored—whether by social media platforms, government messaging, or regulatory bodies. Medical professionals attempting to support these individuals have also faced professional sanctions, threatening their ability to practice. This silencing of both patients and practitioners stands in direct opposition to the Charter's protections and undermines informed public discourse in a democratic society. These rights extend to every Canadian—vaccinated, unvaccinated, injured or healthy. Yet, those of us injured by the COVID-19 vaccines are routinely denied equitable access to medical care, support, and even acknowledgement. Importantly, under Section 2(b), this right is not limited to popular or government-sanctioned viewpoints. It exists specifically to protect minority, dissenting, and controversial opinions, especially in matters of public importance such as health policy, science, and personal medical experiences.
The Supreme Court of Canada has repeatedly affirmed that freedom of expression is essential to democratic discourse, truth-seeking, and individual autonomy.
However, in recent years, Canadians who have publicly shared experiences of vaccine injury—or professionals who have expressed medical opinions that diverge from government-endorsed narratives—have faced deplatforming, professional censure, regulatory threats, and public vilification. These actions risk infringing on Section 2(b) rights and set a troubling precedent where important public discourse is chilled, rather than encouraged.
When expression about vaccine injury is silenced, and when healthcare providers are disciplined for speaking honestly or treating patients compassionately, this constitutes more than just professional overreach—it strikes at the core of Canadians’ Charter rights. Open, evidence-based dialogue—even when difficult or uncomfortable—is a hallmark of a healthy democracy and a requirement of a just society.
The Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), a federal initiative launched with the promise of compassion and support, is not functioning as intended. Its complex bureaucracy, slow processing, lack of transparency, and narrow eligibility criteria have left many injured without any meaningful assistance. For those already enduring immense physical and psychological suffering, this added burden is both cruel and inhumane.
Meanwhile, the Government of Canada has recently renewed multi-million-dollar vaccine procurement contracts with pharmaceutical companies—demonstrating that the political will and financial resources exist when there is a perceived public health need. If our government can continue to invest in future vaccine supply, it must equally invest in the lives damaged by prior mandates. That is a matter of integrity, justice, and humanity.
This call to action is even more urgent today, as global shifts in vaccine policy illustrate both the power and fragility of public trust.
We respectfully urge all Members of Parliament and federal health officials to lead with urgency, empathy, and scientific integrity. We demand the following:
Reform of the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP): Immediate review and restructuring of VISP to ensure fair, timely, and transparent access to support for all injured Canadians.
Push for a federal review of VISP to ensure transparency, efficiency, and equity.
Demand proper vetting and oversight of the VISP medical review panel.
Insist on full disclosure of qualifications, conflict-of-interest policies, and clear accountability mechanisms.
Official Acknowledgment of Vaccine Injury Within the Medical Community: Recognition and clinical education are essential to reduce harm, eliminate gaslighting, and improve treatment.
Allocation of Federal Research Funding: Dedicated funding for research into the disease processes behind vaccine injuries, diagnosis, and the development of effective treatments.
Unrestricted Access to Medical Care: Eliminate regulatory and professional barriers that prevent healthcare professionals from treating vaccine-injured patients without fear of reprisal.
Investigation Into MAID Being Offered to the Injured / Guard Against MAID Misuse: It is unacceptable that those suffering from vaccine injuries are being steered toward assisted death due to lack of care.
Call for an investigation into cases where MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) may be suggested as a substitute for adequate care for the injured—a gross travesty of our healthcare principles.
Oversight of Regulatory Body Overreach / Unfettered Medical Access: Ensure healthcare providers can offer care to the injured without fear of disciplinary action.
Examine why doctors are being censored or stripped of their licenses for attempting to provide alternative, compassionate care.
Public Acknowledgment and Professional Training: Advocate for official recognition of vaccine injuries within the medical community.
Encourage training for clinicians to treat and support injured patients compassionately.
Defend Evidence-Based Innovation: Reaffirm support for scientifically sound vaccine technologies while tirelessly advocating for the injured—because abandonment and advancement are not mutually exclusive.
This is a pivotal moment. Global shifts in health policy should not dictate abandonment of the vulnerable—they must compel us to act with courage, care, and clear purpose.
Please stand with us across Canada’s legislative and provincial platforms. Let Canada be a beacon of integrity, justice, and hope.
Do not allow this suffering to continue in silence.
