What our Health Minister is NOT SAYING
What our Health Minister is NOT SAYING
Is he working for our health, or for the health of the vaccination racket?
This post can be shared with anyone considering further COVID-19 boosters for themselves. Or with those in a position to set staff “proof of vaccination” mandates. Or with anyone reporting on or learning about current COVID matters.
And it should be shared with anyone jumping on the “Covid is coming, covid is coming” fear train with the main message: There is NO defensible reason for taking any more COVID-19 boosters. Unlike regular vaccines, COVID-19 shots were rushed using poor levels of quality control. Additionally they are based on inconsistently functioning mRNA technology, which is described more fully in this post.
One piece of context: In the Canadian parliamentary system, the Prime Minister selects Cabinet Ministers from the pool of elected Members of Parliament. Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau recently decided to shuffle a number of his Cabinet Ministers into new positions. Three weeks ago, he announced that he had assigned Ajax Ontario MP Mark Holland to the Health Ministry. The Deputy Ministers are civil servants who do not get shuffled around. This way, they can provide some stability to a Ministry as a new Minister gets briefed all the aspects of the new position. Minister Holland does NOT have a background in immunology, virology or any other discipline related to this aspect of his new position. He studied political science and history in the early 1990s. He has since worked in the banking industry, for Ontario’s Ministry of Citizenship & Immigration, for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, as a municipal councillor and more recently, he served as Member of Parliament for Ajax, Ontario while being Government House Leader and Chief Government Whip from 2018 to 2021.
NOTE: Viral immunologist Dr. Byram Bridle’s comments on another variant making the news these days (BA.2.86) can be found here.
This is a clip posted on CTV News on August 16, 2023.
Mark Holland said (minus the ums and ahs):
“We are monitoring the situation very closely, obviously with EG.5 and the various sub variants of Omicron, evaluating on a daily basis what the case count is, what the trajectory is. This is fully expected as we lead into fall that we’'ll see an increase in the case count.”
What he could have said but did not:
Increasingly, EG.5 and its subvariants are accounting for a greater portion of new Covid-19 cases, for example the WHO reported that in China, they are up from 24.7% of Covid infections in the third week of June to 45% a month later. This means that gradually, variants like XBB.1.16 will be fading away. And by the time the fall booster based on XBB.1.16 is available in Canada, it is possible that this variant could make up less than one quarter of circulating cases here.
While internationally, Covid hospital admissions are up from the lows seen in June, the overall numbers are still low compared to most of the lowest points during the pandemic.
No variant currently meets the criteria to be a “variant of concern.” WHO estimates the current public health risk from all these variants, including EG.5, as “low.”
Mutations of variants are naturally created based on the virus trying to “escape” from treatment. These mutations were predicted months ago as a likely consequence of the widespread use of monoclonal antibodies to treat covid, so this is not surprising at all.
Looking at our own hospitalization data here in Canada already going back to last year, we saw that people most at risk of infection are those who have been multiply vaccinated. (But we stopped showing that data on the public dashboard some time back.)
At the 30 second mark, Minister Holland said:
“The critical thing right now, is for everyone to get their vaccinations up to date. People should take appropriate health precautions. But in terms of our readiness, we are ready, working with not only our provincial and territorial partners but also our international partners on monitoring and are ready to take action as needed, as the situation evolves.”
In response to a question about the new vaccine coming in the fall, the Minister said:
“We just saw a report that looked at hybrid immunity across Canada, and it showed that the practices and approaches that we’ve taken are incredibly effective, the most effective in the world and lead to one of the lowest death rates in the world. In fact, it’s estimated that using vaccines saved Canada about 800,000 lives which is incredibly significant.”
What he could have said but did not:
“The report I am taking about was co-authoured by Dr. Teresa Tam and published a year ago. (I am a bit behind in getting caught up with this very important portfolio.) It is based on “counterfactual”numbers, imagining that if there were NO PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE, up 800,000 of Canadians could have died. This report is based on modelling data, which has since been proven profoundly inaccurate and was roundly critiqued by knowledgable Canadian scientists.”
Instead of bringing up outdated and debunked figures, Mr. Holland would have provided a better service to Canadians had he referenced reports like these:
“After three years of exposure to the various variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, most Canadians already have immunity to this virus. In fact, a study out of British Columbia showed last year already that most adults display preexisting antibody cross-reactivity against SARS-CoV-2.
We have also had confirmation that in Israel there was not a single death in those under 50 that could be attributed to COVID-19 alone. A re-examination of previously reported data shows that all under 50 who were reported has having died from COVID-19 had at least one other condition to which their deaths can be attributed. In other words, the hype we heard the past few years about getting vaccinated against COVID, does not bear out for those under 50 years of age.”
At the 1:30 mark, Minister Holland continued:
“People should be getting their, keeping their vaccines updated. And the data and science as we move through this process are evidence of that. My advice is that people keep up with that regime. There will consistently be new variants and we will consistently have new vaccines.
This is clearly a case of the new minister promising more than can realistically be delivered, as we do not “consistently” manufacture new vaccines for every new variant.
Mr. Holland went on to say:
So I think when you are eligible and able to get a vaccine, you should take it. When there are new vaccines available and it’s your time, then that’s the appropriate thing to do. But I don’t think people should hesitate getting vaccinated at any time.”
What he could have said but did not:
“There will continue to be new variants, but recovery from a COVID infection will continue being protective, as the variants do not differ significantly. In fact, people who recovered from SARS seventeen years prior to our SARS-CoV-2 wave, still had robust immunity.
Further investigation is needed on this, but ever since the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were available, there has been a sharp rise in serious Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) in Canada. We went from an average of 135 a year to nearly 11,000 such reports by May of this year as seen in the red bar below.
Source: https://www.dksdata.com/COVID19 based on https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-safety/#seriousNonSerious
This information originates from Health Canada’s own documentation. It is reasonable that Health Canada staff would have been able to pull it up for the new Minister at some point within his first three weeks in the position.
Minister Holland could have said something like this: “While a COVID-19 infection is usually cleared up in 10 - 14 days, these type of adverse events following immunization tend to be of a permanent nature…therefore Canadians would do well to evaluate their risk of experiencing symptoms of Covid against their risk of being unable to work or function for the long term with any of the more serious AEFIs listed here.”
Other things he could have said include:
“As well, excess mortality in Canada has been rising steadily ever since the Covid-19 vaccine products were approved for use in Canada.”
More people are dying of causes not related to COVID than ever before. However the rise in deaths correlates with the various known harms of the COVID-19 injections.
The Minister could also have shared this information:
“In fact, the leading cause of death in Alberta these past two years, as just one example, has been deaths by unknown causes.”

Given that Minister Holland is now in charge of the ministry that sets the requirements and restrictions for the reporting of vaccine related injuries, he can mandate changes to the current practice of only recognizing a limited range of symptoms to be correlated to COVID-19 vaccines. Physicians like Dr. Charles Hoffe and Dr. Patrick Philips have testified as to which barriers had been put up by Health Canada that essentially limit proper reporting. Minister Holland would do well to listen and learn from their testimonies.
Given this recent news story:
if interviewed today, the minister could be asked to comment on his recommendation to remain “up to date” on the products that have been shown to arrive at results like those experienced by this member of Canada’s military.
In the absence of a new mandate letter for the new Minister, a quick peek at the Mandate Letter the previous Health Minister received from our Prime Minister gives us a major clue about the silence at the top on topics STILL of crucial interest to Canadians:
Clearly, in this document, “HEALTH” has been redefined as meaning “VACCINES” and sadly, Minister Holland appears to be following the same mandate letter despite all the medical knowledge now in place that does NOT support this route.
Journalists, fellow political representatives, writers to Health Canada, we can all consider inviting the minister and his staff to update their knowledge by following the stories of multiple vaccine injured Canadians who testified to the National Citizens Inquiry by sharing this link: https://rumble.com/user/NationalCitizensInquiryCA?q=injury for starters. (And to bookmark the main site in anticipation of when all the testimonies will be posted in searchable form.)
Clearly, when a cabinet is shuffled, it takes a while to onboard a new minister. But even longtime government employees face challenges in getting up to date information when their department colleagues work in a flutter of different silos. The lack of clear mechanisms for the evergreening of documentation also ends up preventing decision makers from working with up to date data. It is clear by how Mr. Holland was recently provided with Dr. Tam’s 2022 debunked counterfactual study, that he is not receiving the most up to date information from the field. And it is clear that when writing in May/June of 2022, Dr. Tam and her co-authors themselves were pulling in long outdated assumptions about COVID-19. The concept of “Science Frozen in Time” has been addressed in Documents 5, 10 and 11 posted here: https://followingthecovidscience.8b.io/page3.html#content2-30.
In fact, the entire Following the Covid Science - Compilation of Letters, Articles and Research documents referenced here: https://r.8b.io/387157/assets/files/1635738508414.pdf and here https://followingthecovidscience.8b.io can be useful reading for those attempting to onboard the new minister to his new role as soon as possible.
Happy reading everyone. As you learn the “lay of the land” — you will realize that you cannot rely SOLELY on government sources a) because they are “Frozen in Time” and b) because the government agencies that regulate pharmaceuticals also use the fees paid for licensing approvals in order to fund their operations. If they block approvals on health reasons, they shoot themselves in the foot, i.e. they cannot cover the cost of their operations budget.
Keep in mind, what the Minister did NOT say, is what needs to be heard! When our decision makers are so limited in the information they are able to share, the rest of us need to backfill the gaps.
What the Minister did NOT say was “DO NOT GET THE BOOSTER” but that would be the only correct response to the question. Neither the current bivalent or the upcoming monovalent would have as robust an immune response as getting COVID-19. The multiply boosted, who now make up the newest class of immune compromised Canadians need to learn ways to prevent more spike protein manufacturing to hijack their immune systems. The information shared in this post can be helpful.
