    1. Like every other business, pharmaceutical companies are in business to make a profit. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Those companies did not cause the virus. The scientists that work for those companies developed the vaccines that will help end the pandemic.

    2. @BinaBecker listen to DR Geert Vanden-Bossche and Dr Lee Merrit for your proof. You got nothing it seems.

  1. Until these companies take responsibility for their products and the outcome. I do not care what you authorize, I am not interested. THE Canadian medical system is allowed to cause peoples death and are not held accountable.

    1. That’s malicious murder. They investigate themselves like the police do. An absolute shame on all of them.

    1. @Neil NacKenzie I’m dying with laughter. 😅
      This is your mission, if you choose to accept it. This zoom conference will self destruct in 10 seconds.

    1. I don’t know where you get your news but you appear to be grossly misinformed. Perhaps you should fact check your source.

    2. The federal government dropped the ball on acquiring doses and so they will take any they can get their hands on.

    3. @Patty Gould I am misinformed ?!
      Read some other news beside the ones that are fully control for brain wash!
      It’s a fact that more then Hal of tired union drop astra zeneca!
      Even cp24 has this news.
      Don’t know which news are you following.
      Take care

    1. 30 causes of thrombosis in 12 millions of shots… Do you know the number of cases of thrombosis in the general public? Do you know that coronavirus also causes thrombosis in higher numbers?

    2. Our government dropped the ball on acquiring doses and so will take any they can get to save face. Besides that there’s no liability if anything goes wrong. They’re putting public perception of themselves and their political careers over the health of the citizenry.

  2. My lovely mam DOES NOT NEED it! It was band in Europe for MANY CASES OF SIDE EFFECTS! Shame on you!

  3. They create vaccines as fast as candy these days. I think I will wait for the Walmart Brand. LMFAO!!!!

    1. “prudent to wait”??? For what? More evidence? The drug to be thoroughly tested? That’s radical subversive talk, eh! 😉

  4. Frankly, I trust Ireland’s Health Professionals (and Europe’s doctors) more than the politicized health decisions made in Canada.

  5. When all you’ve got is this, I guess you have to hype it. shameful. Wait and study it more before you try to inject it into anyone.

  6. Meanwhile one of the top vaccinologists is calling for an IMMEDIATE full hard STOP on these injected bio weapons NOW. He said they will fully disarm, disable the immune system & MUST be STOPPED.
