A Canadian surgeon has been fired from his position at the University of Saskatchewan and suspended from teaching after expressing concerns about Covid-19 vaccine safety.
Dr. Francis Christian, Clinical Professor of General Surgery, released a statement on June 17 noting that he is pro-vaccine but stating that the principle of "informed consent" are being violated. According to medical ethics, patients should be made “fully aware of the risks of the medical intervention, the benefits of the intervention, and if any alternatives exist to the intervention.” However, as Dr. Christian notes, this is not being done in many instances with Covid-19 vaccinations.
Dr. Christian stated that he was not come across “a single vaccinated child or parent who has been adequately informed” about Covid vaccines for children.
Five days after he made his statement, Dr. Christian was contacted by the Saskatchewan Health Authority/College of Medicine. In a letter, the Health Authority stated that it had “received 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.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
