Is this Murder? Patients are being denied lifesaving treatments if they are not vaccinated

“If physicians are considering not doing it because they think the patient is making a bad decision, we’re rewriting medical ethics and human rights. We cannot be in a position where healthcare workers become judgmental of their patients.” Kerry Bowman (Assistant Professor at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto)

Over the last few months, I have been hearing stories that I hoped were not true, but as the months, and weeks have gone on, I have received messages, emails on news reports that spoke of something unbelievable. Some unvaccinated individuals have reported being denied organ transplant surgeries , and doctors say this is because a patient’s chance of death is higher post-op, if they happen to contract COVID-19.

Other physicians however, are fearful for their own safety, and that of staff and patients.

“These are the types of risks that come with being a healthcare worker,” Kerry Bowman stated in an interview. “If you want no risks, you’d go work in a mall or something I guess.”

Let’s dig into this story a little bit. This couldn’t be justified by our government, could it? In 2022, There appeared to be a growing consensus among Canadian organ transplant specialists about requiring COVID-19 vaccination for patients looking to be placed on the wait-list for an organ donation.

That guidance, issued on January 9th, 2022, followed months of debate among Canadian transplant organizations, who then urged any provincial and regional programs to be transparent if they choose to implement the rule.

Why? It’s all about trying to ensure the “best possible outcome” for the patients receiving a scarce and precious organ, experts say.

“We strongly support transplant program requirements for transplant candidates to receive COVID-19 vaccine prior to transplantation,” the Canadian Society of Transplantation said in updated guidance provided to the provincial organ donation organizations and regional transplant programs.

“After transplant surgery, patients are severely immunocompromised because of the life-long treatment to prevent rejection of the new organ. This means, transplant recipients are at much greater risk of complications and of dying if they get COVID-19,” said Ana Fernandes, spokesperson for the UHN.

“Life-saving organs are scarce, and all transplant programs follow strict criteria to ensure they are offered to patients with the highest need, but also with highest chance of a positive outcome,” Fernandes added.

So, how do we interpret this? Does this mean that individuals who are vaccinated have a higher chance of survival than a person who is unvaccinated. Where are the studies that prove that, especially when discussing the COVID-19 vaccine? I think that before I share some of the disturbing reports I found, I want to re-introduce the Hippocratic Oath.

The Hippocratic Oath is a historic ethical code that is traditionally taken by physicians, especially those in Western medicine. It is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, often referred to as the “father of medicine.” The oath outlines the ethical principles and guidelines that physicians should adhere to in their practice.

The oath emphasizes several key principles, including:

Beneficence: A commitment to act in the best interest of patients and to prioritize their well-being and health.

Non-maleficence: A pledge to do no harm and to avoid actions that could potentially harm patients.

Confidentiality: A promise to keep patients’ personal and medical information confidential, maintaining their privacy and trust.

Integrity: A commitment to honesty and ethical behavior in interactions with patients and colleagues.

Autonomy: Respecting patients’ right to make their own decisions about their medical care and involving them in the decision-making process.

Justice: Treating all patients fairly and without discrimination, and providing care based on need rather than personal bias.

I want you to take special note of: Beneficence, Non-Maleficence, Autonomy, and Justice when analyzing the next few reports, I have to share.

Sheila Annette Lewis tried to take her fight over COVID-19 vaccine requirements for organ transplants all the way to the Supreme Court . Sheila was diagnosed with a terminal disease in 2018 and was told she would not survive unless she received an organ transplant. She was placed on a transplant wait list in 2020 but was informed a year later she would need to get the COVID-19 vaccine first.

Sheila said taking the vaccine would offend her conscience and argued the requirement violated her Charter rights. The case was dismissed by an Alberta court, which said the Charter has no application to clinical treatment decisions. The Supreme Court also turned down her application for a hearing. Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Paul Belzil dismissed Sheila’s argument that her charter rights had been violated. He ruled the charter has no application to clinical treatment decisions and, in particular, has no application to doctors establishing criteria for organ transplantation. There is a publication ban on identifying the specific organ.

The former lawyer for Sheila Annette Lewis confirmed her death Friday.

“Ms. Lewis was a true believer in fighting for personal rights and freedoms,” said Allison Pejovic, who was in touch with her former client’s son.

Let’s move to our next story…

After being denied an organ transplant due to his COVID unvaccinated status, an Ontario man passed away — but not before healthcare professionals asked if they could harvest his organs. Garnet Harper, 35, died in May 2023, after being diagnosed with stage five kidney disease in February 2022. He died of a bleeding stroke during his sleep.

A twist to the story; two of Harper’s brothers were willing to donate their kidneys, but hospitals wouldn’t even consider it given the fact Harper wouldn’t reveal his vaccination status to them.

During Harper’s last moments alive, while on life support, his wife Meghan Harper was told by nurses at the hospital to expect a call from Trillium Gift of Life Network (TGLN) — an organ donation agency. Apparently, healthcare professionals are advised to contact Trillium when they believe a dying patient is a suitable candidate.

“They call you while you’re sitting next to your dying loved one and they ask you if they can have his organs,” Harper’s wife shared in an interview. “Meanwhile, he wasn’t good enough to receive organs from them… I can’t describe the feeling.”

Probably the most heartbreaking case is the one that I found in Sydney, Australia. The parents of a Sydney teenager claimed that she was being denied lifesaving cancer treatment because she has not been vaccinated against COVID-19. Dazelle Peters, 16, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2020 and needs a lung transplant.

Her father Josh Peters said he was told by a surgeon at St Vincent’s Hospital that if his daughter did not get the vaccine she would be a “Major threat to everyone (in the hospital) who had done the right thing.”

The hospital spokesperson confirmed their “Policies and guidelines wouldn’t support transplantation” of an unvaccinated person. “Vaccination status against various infections is a critical part of this assessment in order to ensure optimal prospects of survival post-transplant,” a hospital spokesperson said.

The team at Global News asked every provincial and territorial college or medical council whether they’ve received complaints about doctors denying care to unvaccinated patients. Here are the responses:

  • New Brunswick: “Less than 5.”
  • Nova Scotia: “1 or 2.”
  • British Columbia: Zero formal complaints but have heard concerns from patients.
  • Alberta: Does not track this data.
  • Quebec: Cannot disclose.
  • Manitoba: Cannot disclose.
  • Saskatchewan: Cannot disclose.
  • Prince Edward Island: Cannot disclose.
  • Ontario: 68 complaints and concerns in the last 3 months (includes complaints about unavailability of in-person care, not necessarily due to vaccination status.)
  • Newfoundland and Labrador: No comment.
  • Northwest Territories: Zero complaints
  • Yukon Medical Council: Zero complaints.

The provincial and territorial medical regulatory authorities have provided guidance to physicians that, using appropriate protection measures, they have an ethical obligation, and therefore cannot refuse to see patients who are not vaccinated, so what exactly is going on here. Is the death of these individuals considered murder? Is neglect of treatment that causes death not something we should be asking more questions about. What if this was your loved one; do they not have the right to live regardless of their decision regarding a vaccination that has been proven to cause more harm than good?

Something to think about community!

Hidden Agendas – Bill C-293: The silent Bill being passed right under our noses

Published

BY SIMONE J. SMITH

Greetings everyone.

It is always fascinating, isn’t it? How some things dominate the news, get talked about endlessly on our social media feeds, debated over dinner tables, and dissected in countless articles and op-eds, but what about the things that do not make headlines? What about the decisions that happen quietly, in the background, while we are busy discussing everything else?

This edition, I want to shed light on something that has been happening right under our noses. A bill, being crafted, debated, and—unless we take action—soon to be passed by the Canadian government, without most of us even knowing it exists. By the time it hits the public radar, it might just be too late.

Now, I know some of you may be thinking, “What bill? I haven’t heard about any major legislation.” That is exactly the point. While we are kept busy with all the newsworthy controversies, this bill is being shaped in the shadows.

Why hasn’t this bill gotten the same attention? Why isn’t it making headlines? Is it not important enough, or is there something else at play? What this bill will do is undermine Canadian sovereignty by shifting power to unelected, non-Canadian organizations like the WHO and WEF.

You see, it is always the quiet ones, the bills that fly under the radar, that often carry the biggest consequences. The laws that: reshuffle power dynamics, alter rights, or change the very fabric of our society without any of us having a say. By the time we are aware, the decisions have been made, the ink has dried, and we’re left wondering, “How did this happen?”

So today, as I share the details of this bill, I want you to think critically. Ask yourselves why it has not been brought to our attention sooner. Why has it been kept quiet? Most importantly, what can we do as a community to ensure that we are no longer kept in the dark?

It is a move that willfully hands over control of your food, your privacy, and your rights to globalist agendas. You have likely heard of the hard work Citizengo is doing around the world to stop the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic Treaty.  A treaty that would have countries sign away their national sovereignty and become servantent states under unelected globalist rule, whenever and however the next “pandemic” is called. If this goes through we will see the World Health Organization’s “One Health Initiative” rolled out in Canada. This has dire consequences and will essentially usher in a technocratic surveillance state under the guise of safety and preparedness.

What if I told you that Canada, thanks to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and Jagmeet Singh’s New Democratic Party, have already hatched a plan to surrender our national sovereignty to their authoritarian globalist friends. Let me introduce you to Bill C-293, the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, introduced by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. Currently, the bill is awaiting its 2nd Reading in The Senate, under the very noses of every-single Canadian, and this is news for some of our readers right now.

I only just learned about this Pandemic Treaty Bill myself when the team at CitizenGo reached out to me. Shortly thereafter, LifeSiteNews released their article, and I was truly shocked by what I read. “Included in Bill C-293 are provisions to ‘regulate commercial activities that can contribute to pandemic risk, including industrial animal agriculture,’ produce ‘alternative proteins,’ and ‘enable contact tracing of persons.”

In other words, if Bill C-293 passes, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), The World Health Organization (WHO), The World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and other unelected globalist international bodies will have unprecedented control over Canada’s sovereignty.

If this bill is allowed to ascend into Canadian law, the federal government would have to listen to these globalist agencies “guidelines” in regulating our agriculture industry all under the guise of something called “pandemic prevention.”

Guess what else falls under this vague label? Promoting alternative proteins like insects while phasing out traditional meat production. Even more alarming, the bill allows for contact tracing, raising serious privacy concerns and enabling government overreach. How many more digital applications are you going to have to pay for, like ArriveCAN, if you decide to travel abroad, or even throughout Canada?

Here’s how Canadian sovereignty will be lost:

  • Global Regulation of Industrial Agriculture will target meat production and give international bodies influence over what Canadians can produce and consume.
  • Promoting Alternative Proteins through the pushing of lab-grown meats and insect farms designed to devastate local farmers and meat producers.
  • Implementing Contact Tracing to intrude upon every aspect of your life. Without privacy, digital IDs and contact tracing tools grant significant power to the government to control individuals’ behaviour, including where you can go through the usage of mandatory lockdowns and “social distancing” style policies.
  • Ceding Control to Global Institutions were Canada’s pandemic response and industries would be 100% subjected to international oversight, ending our national autonomy as a democratic nation that values individuals’ Human Rights and Freedoms.

The Senate was set to resume its business on September 17th, 2024, but here is the reality: this is not an accident. Certain policies are designed to be kept quiet, tucked away, and only brought to light when there is no turning back. Whether it is the complexity of the bill, or the deliberate silence around it, it is clear—the less we know, the less we can protest.

It is not just this one bill. It is a pattern. While we are being distracted by the flashy stories, we miss the subtler, yet often more impactful, moves happening right beneath the surface. What is the strategy behind this? Silence. Secrecy. Control. Before we know it, we are living with the consequences of decisions we never had a chance to discuss, let alone oppose.

Now, I am not here to incite fear. I’m here to inspire awareness, because we still have a say. We still have time. We must start paying attention to these quieter moves by our government. We need to ask the hard questions, demand transparency, and hold those in power accountable for the decisions they make in the shadows.

If we don’t, we’ll continue to wake up to laws that we had no idea were even in the works. We’ll continue to have: rights, freedoms, and choices taken away without our consent. And that, my friends, is a dangerous place to be.

Democracy doesn’t just live in the loud, public moments—it thrives when we shine a light on the quiet ones too.

The drug manufacturer and pusher man: Off with their heads

BY STEVEN KASZAB

Victims of the opioid epidemic have been shouting aloud to the: authorities, addiction/mental health emergency providers, and local governments for help. Asking, pleading, and when action does not happen quick enough protesting the apparent inaction of those who are supposed to be protecting society. There will always be excuses as to why those who manufacture and sell these drugs are not in prison right now. Their legal rights, the police’s inability to soundly find proof necessary to have them arrested, the federal government cannot stop the importation of these illegal drugs illegally, nor the domestic manufacturing of this poison. Aboriginal Rights, personal and privacy rights, international domains, lack of response from India and China’s Security Apparatus in stopping those in their country.

It comes down to the question, if you are addicted to drugs, are you of sound mind and body? Can you think for yourself, or must a public judicator force the addict into rehabilitative care? Often war does not have rules, and the war on drugs has been one sided for a very long time. Those nations that allow illicit drugs to be made in their territory, or transported from should feel the effects of powerful embargos. Let the Foreign Affairs Office do something useful by placing: Mexico, China, Columbia, Burma, and others on an embargo list not allowing them to ship or sell their products to Canada.

Long ago sanitariums were set aside, considered politically incorrect. Now, these same institutions of medical rehabilitation are necessary to hold involuntarily addicts for a three-to-six-month period, where their healthcare, mental health, and addiction therapy can be carried out. Inviting the church organizations to assist with their historical experience can be an asset.

Our society must take the war seriously, or hundreds of thousands of our citizens will perish. Take no prisoners, as those who manufacture and sell this poison know exactly: what they are doing, who they are harming, and what the end game truly will be.

For all those who have not seen someone dying of addiction, being poisoned long term, or it was their very first try…wake up. Decide whose side you are on, the victims and their families, the society you live in that is possibly the best that can exist, or you’re on the side of evil, people who make a living by poisoning and killing others.

Choose, and choose well.
