## Resource

Conservative MP Dean Allison launched a four-day independent inquiry in Ottawa to hear firsthand accounts from over 1,400 applicants claiming vaccine-related injuries, ultimately selecting 50 witnesses—including a massage therapist from Alberta whose life was upended by POTS. Though not officially sanctioned by the federal government and with Health Canada notably absent, the probe revealed systemic gaps, like the Vaccine Injury Support Program’s limited payouts despite $21 million paid to just over 250 approved claims out of 3,500 submissions. U.S. Senator Ron Johnson also weighed in, criticizing Dr. Fauci. Allison’s initiative aimed to spark overdue national dialogue, as Canada remains one of few major democracies without a formal government review of its pandemic response—something even the chief science advisor now urges for future preparedness.
