He was appointed Director of the Surgical Humanities Program and Director of Quality and Patient Safety in 2018 and co-founded the Surgical Humanities Program. Dr. Christian is also the Editor of the Journal of The Surgical Humanities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On June 17, Dr. Christian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jccf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/17-June-press-conference-statement-Dr.-Christian.pdf\">released a statement<\/a>\u00a0to over 200 doctors which contained his concerns regarding giving the Covid shots to children. In it he noted that he is pro-vaccine,<\/strong>\u00a0and that he did not represent any group, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, or the University of Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI speak to you directly as a physician, a surgeon, and a fellow human being.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Christian noted that the principle of informed consent was sacrosanct and noted that\u00a0<strong>a patient should always be \u201cfully aware of the risks of the medical intervention, the benefits of the intervention, and if any alternatives exist to the intervention.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis should apply particularly to a new vaccine that has never before been tried in humans\u2026 before the vaccine is rolled out to children, both children and parents must know the risks of m-RNA vaccines,\u201d he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Dr. Christian expressed concern that he had not come across \u201ca single vaccinated child or parent who has been adequately informed\u201d about Covid vaccines for children.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among his points, he stated that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The m-RNA vaccine, is a new, experimental vaccine never used by humans before.<\/li>\n<li>The m-RNA vaccines have not been fully authorized by Health Canada or the US CDC, and are in fact under \u201cinterim authorization\u201d in Canada and \u201cemergency use authorization\u201d in the US. He noted that \u201cfull vaccine approval takes several years and multiple safety considerations \u2013 this has not happened.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>That in order to qualify for \u201cemergency use authorization\u201d there must be an emergency. While he said there is a strong case for vaccinating the elderly, the vulnerable and health care workers, he said, \u201cCovid does not pose a threat to our kids. The risk of them dying of Covid is less than 0.003% \u2013 this is even less than the risk of them dying of the flu. There is no emergency in children.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Children do not readily transmit the Covid virus to adults.<\/li>\n<li>M-RNA vaccines have been \u201cassociated with several thousand deaths\u201d in the Vaccine Adverse Reporting System in the US. \u201cThese appear to be unusual, compared to the total number of vaccines administered.\u201d He called it a \u201cstrong signal that should not be ignored.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>He noted that vaccines have already caused \u201cserious medical problems for kids\u201d worldwide, including \u201ca real and significantly increased risk\u201d of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart. Dr. Christian notes the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/german-panel-gives-limited-approval-covid-19-shot-adolescents-2021-06-10\/\">German national vaccine agency<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/health-57496074\">UK vaccine agency<\/a>\u00a0are not recommending the vaccine for healthy children and teenagers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The Saskatchewan Health Authority\/College of Medicine wrote a letter to Dr. Christian on June 21, 2021, alleging that they had \u201creceived information that you are engaging in activities designed to discourage and prevent children and adolescents from receiving Covid-19 vaccination contrary to the recommendations and pandemic-response efforts of Saskatchewan and Canadian public health authorities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Christian\u2019s concerns regarding underage Covid vaccinations are not isolated to him.\u00a0 The US Centre for Disease Control had an \u201cemergency meeting\u201d today to discuss the growing cases of myocarditis (heart inflammation) in younger males after receiving the Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC released\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/acip\/meetings\/downloads\/slides-2021-06\/03-COVID-Shimabukuro-508.pdf\">new data today<\/a>\u00a0that the risk of myocarditis after the Pfizer vaccine is at least 10 times the expected rate in 12 \u2013 17 year old males and females. The German government has issued\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/german-panel-gives-limited-approval-covid-19-shot-adolescents-2021-06-10\/\">public guidance against vaccinating<\/a>\u00a0those under the age of 18.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization posted an update to its website on Monday, June 21, which contained the statement in respect of advice for Covid-19 vaccination that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jccf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Untitled-11.pdf\"><em>Children should not be vaccinated for the moment<\/em><\/a>.\u201d Within 24 hours, this guidance was withdrawn and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/covid-19-vaccines\/advice\">new guidance was posted<\/a>\u00a0which stated that \u201cCovid vaccines are safe for those over 18 years of age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Christian says there is a large, growing \u201cnetwork of ethical, moral physicians and scientists\u201d who are urging caution in recommending vaccines for all children without informed consent. He said, physicians must \u201calways put their patients and humanity first.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Byram Bridle, a prominent immunologist at the University of Guelph with a sub-speciality in vaccinology, recently participated in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/vUrp5PlnBwQ\">Press Conference<\/a>\u00a0on Parliament Hill on CPAC organized by MP Derek Sloan, where he discussed the censorship of scientists and physicians. Dr. Bridle expressed his safety concerns with vaccinating children with experimental MRNA vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Centre Litigation Director Jay Cameron also has concern over the growing censorship of medical professionals when it comes to questioning the government narrative on Covid.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are seeing a clear pattern of highly competent and skilled medical doctors in very esteemed positions being taken down and censored or even fired, for practicing proper science and medicine,\u201d says Mr. Cameron.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>The Justice Centre\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jccf.ca\/emergency-room-doctor-successfully-defends-right-to-express-opinion-publicly\/\">represented Dr. Chris Milburn<\/a>\u00a0in Nova Scotia, who faced professional disciplinary proceedings last year after a group of activists took exception to an opinion column he wrote in a local paper.<\/strong>\u00a0The Justice Centre provided\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jccf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/03.16.2020-Milburn-Letter-to-College_Redacted.pdf\">submissions<\/a>\u00a0to the College on Dr. Milburn\u2019s behalf, defending the right of physicians to express their opinions on matters of policy in the public square and arguing that everyone is entitled to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, as guaranteed by the\u00a0<em>Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 including doctors. The Justice Centre noted that attempting to have a doctor professionally disciplined for his opinions and commentary on matters of public interest amounts to bullying and intimidation for speaking out against the government.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Dr. Milburn also faced punishment for speaking out with his concerns about public health policies, as he was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/saltwire.pressreader.com\/cape-breton-post\/20210623\/281543703888386\">removed from his position as the Head of Emergency<\/a>\u00a0for the eastern zone with the Nova Scotia Health Authority. In an unusual twist, a petition has been started to have Dr. Milburn replace Dr. Strang as the province\u2019s Chief Medical Officer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cCensoring and punishing scientists and doctors for freely voicing their concerns is arrogant, oppressive and profoundly unscientific\u201d,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>states Mr. Cameron.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBoth the western world and the idea of scientific inquiry itself is built to a large extent on the principles of freedom of thought and speech. Medicine and patient safety can only regress when dogma and an elitist orthodoxy, such as that imposed by the Saskatchewan College of Medicine, punishes doctors for voicing concerns,\u201d Mr. Cameron concludes.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/covid-19\/surgeon-fired-college-medicine-voicing-concerns-about-covid-shots-kids\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/covid-19\/surgeon-fired-college-medicine-voicing-concerns-about-covid-shots-kids<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70858\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
