” the CKHA Policy, which remains in effect at the hospital. The Policy mandates the original 2-dose series of injections. Boosters have not been required.

Dr. Ian DePass, whose hospital privileges were suspended by the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) for failing to comply with its vaccination policy, is heading to a hearing this week before the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB).

DePass’s hospital privileges were suspended by the CKHA on November 1, 2021, after he failed to obtain a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and his request for accommodation was rejected. As a surgical assistant, DePass cannot earn a living from medicine unless he has hospital privileges. A father of seven, with two young children at home, he has worked in construction since his suspension from the hospital.

The hospital board, which had approved the COVID-19 Vaccine Policy, subsequently upheld the suspension following a hearing that took place in February 2022. Subsequently, The Democracy Fund (TDF) retained Ontario lawyer Lisa Bildy to represent DePass in a new hearing (de novo) before the HPARB. This is the process that is followed for challenges to the suspension or termination of hospital privileges under the Public Hospitals Act.

As was announced by TDF in June this year, Dr. DePass won a small but critical motion last spring, permitting him to present current evidence about the effectiveness of vaccines in preventing transmission of COVID-19 and thereby widening the scope of the hearing, which the Appeal Board agreed would be a “relevant consideration” in assessing the reasonableness of the CKHA Policy, which remains in effect at the hospital. The Policy mandates the original 2-dose series of injections. Boosters have not been required.

The hearing is scheduled to begin on January 10, 2024, and will continue for six non-consecutive days, ending January 19. The parties will then make written submissions to the Board.

Just 12% of Albertans have taken latest COVID shot, data show

Official data from the Alberta government as of early December show that just 11.9% of Albertans, 557,702 people, have gotten the latest COVID shot, down from 16.9% last year.

Official data shows that Canadians in the province of Alberta are overwhelmingly shunning the reformulated COVID jab approved by Health Canada, with nearly 90 percent of residents overall choosing not to get the shots. 

Official data from the Alberta government as of early December show that just 11.9 percent of Albertans, 557,702 people, have gotten the latest COVID shot. At the same time last year, 16.9 percent of Albertans, or 855,343, chose to get a shot.  

The COVID jab uptake rate amongst kids aged 6 months to 19 years sits at just 3.76 percent. For those aged 20 to 50, the rate is only 5.6 percent. 

The jab uptake rate rises significantly for those aged 50 and over, topping out at 50.4 percent for those over 90, with the overall jab rate for those aged 65 and over being 36.2 percent. 

In all cases, the majority of the COVID jabs administered were done so in pharmacies.  

In September, Health Canada approved Moderna’s new mRNA COVID-19 jab for all Canadians over six months of age. 

The approval of the shots comes despite the fact that the nation’s very own Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) has had to pay out $14 million to those injured by the shots, a sizable figure considering most claims are still unpaid.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, a recent report claims that at least one federal Canadian MP told a constituent not to speak badly of reported delays in the VISP as well as the bungling of the program in general. 

The mRNA-based shots themselves have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, especially in children. LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of research on the dangers of the experimental jabs, which include heart damage and blood clots.

Canadian doctor ordered to pay back $600k she earned through mass COVID vaccination

In a November 26 ruling, the Ontario Health Services Board ordered Kingston-based Dr. Elaine Ma to pay back over $600,000 which she had claimed after having undergraduate medical student volunteers mass vaccinate Ontario residents in 2021.

The province of Ontario paid doctors for every experimental COVID shot they administered, with one physician now being told to repay the $600,000 she earned by using medical students to mass vaccinate residents. 

In a November 26 ruling, the Ontario Health Services Board ordered Kingston-based Dr. Elaine Ma to pay back over $600,000 which she had claimed after having undergraduate medical student volunteers mass vaccinate Ontario residents in 2021. 

“The Appeal Board orders the Respondent to reimburse OHIP the amount of $600,962.16,” the board wrote in their decision. 

Beginning in January 2021, Ma had organized drive-in vaccination clinics in several parking lots in the Kingston region to vaccinate thousands of Canadians. She recruited undergraduate medical student volunteers to administer the shots.  

Under Ma’s program, which lasted until January 2022, 27,250 doses of the experimental COVID shot were administered, earning her a total of $606,657.60, according to the General Manager of the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).  

According to OHIP, Ontario doctors were paid $13 for administrating COVID vaccines, and an additional $5.60 if the patient’s sole reason for their appointment was receiving the shot. 

However, OHIP argued that Ma’s claims did not meet their requirements as she used volunteers to administer the vaccines, explaining, “the persons who administered vaccines at the clinics organized by Dr. Ma during the Review Period were not her employees.”  

As a result, she was ordered to repay the money. However, Ma is arguing that she was acting in Ontario’s best interest, considering the alleged danger of the COVID “pandemic.”

“It’s really still just disbelief that we’ve completely forgotten about COVID,” she told CTV News Ottawa. “We’ve completely forgotten what we were asked to do. We’ve completely forgotten the fact that we were asked to do it in new and different ways, and quickly, and as fast as possible.”

While Ontario previously paid doctors to administer the shots, Canada’s program to compensate those injured by the so-called “safe and effective” COVID vaccines has now spent $14 million, but the vast majority of claims remain unpaid. 

However, while Ma collected taxpayer dollars to administer the experimental vaccines, many courageous doctors have risked their livelihoods to warn Canadians about the dangers of the COVID shots.  

For example, Ontario pro-freedom Dr. Mark Trozzi has lost his medical license for speaking out against the mainstream narrative, despite overwhelming evidence as to the negative effects of the vaccines.   

In 2023, Trozzi exposed the dark money, political pressure, establishment corruption, and fake news that made the COVID-19 propaganda campaign a terror operation that brought the world to its knees. 

In an interview with LifeSiteNews, he revealed that many of his colleagues were spellbound by the government’s COVID-19 fear campaign. However, he notes that others discovered that following the establishment’s mandates for COVID-19 treatment – such as only conducting PCR tests or nasal swab – paid as much as 20 percent more than regular work at their normal practice. 

The campaign to foist the so-called COVID-19 ‘vaccines’ upon the global population also carried with it a monetary payoff.

“As I understand it, those injections paid very well everywhere,” said Trozzi. “One case in point is one of my colleagues has a contact who’s an ear, nose, and throat surgeon in Germany, and he stopped doing surgery. He said, ‘I only do the minimum amount of V.A. specialty work to keep my license because I’m making way more money just giving shots during that peak.’”
