Summary:
In a letter addressed to Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos, a group of Canadian scientists expressed serious concerns regarding Health Canada’s approval of Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The authors argued that significant flaws were overlooked during the regulatory review process, including the absence of crucial pharmacokinetics and toxicology studies. They highlighted that the encoded spike protein, which is not part of the vaccine formulation, could have unknown off-target effects, and stressed that studies on genotoxicity and carcinogenicity were not conducted. The letter called for a meeting between Health Canada scientists and their own to discuss these safety issues, claiming that the mRNA vaccines may not be as safe or effective as the public has been led to believe. The authors urged for transparency and accountability from Health Canada, citing high mortality rates following vaccine administration as a reason for concern.
