Alberta Premier Supports Town Hall’s Questioning For COVID Vaccine Which Is Worrisome

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she supports an upcoming United Conservative Party event that is doubtful about the COVID-19 vaccine safety.

The event is named “An Injection of Truth”, and the town hall organisers have claimed that they will provide scientific data that shows the negative impact of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine on children.

William Makis is one of the speakers who will be scheduled to be at the June 17 event in Calgary. Even though he claims he was wrongfully terminated, his practice permit was suspended by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta.

Another scheduled panelist, Chris Shoemaker, had his license suspended in 2023.

Other speakers are David Speicher, Calgary pediatric neurologist Eric Payne, Jessica Rose and Byram Bridle.

On a radio show on Saturday, Smith confirmed that she supported the town hall.

“As people know, I believe that sometimes you need to hear the contrarian voices. … Unfortunately, all through (the COVID-19 pandemic), the contrarian voices were deplatformed and not listened to,” she said on Your Province, Your Premier on QR Calgary and 630 CHED on Saturday.

“I think we have to look at the international evidence. …  That’s what MLA Bouchard is doing in hosting a variety of doctors to give their perspective, so I’m quite happy to let him continue on with that.”

The constituency association of Calgary-Lougheed MLA Eric Bouchard is organising the town hall.

But bioethicist Blake Murdoch at the University of Alberta said Smith framing the town hall as a potential to look at the international evidence of harm to children by COVID vaccines is a “reckless misrepresentation of what this event” which is according to the guest list.

“There’s nothing wrong with contrarianism per se. It’s just that we live in a world where facts exist,” said Murdoch who is a senior research associate with the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Law.

Murdoch said there is a huge amount of science that claims the vaccines are definitely safe.

“Smith also made the claim that the organizers have invited a variety of doctors. I think that is also a reckless misrepresentation,” Murdoch said.
