<p>OCLA researcher Dr. Denis Rancourt and several fellow
Canadian academics penned an open letter to support
those who have decided not to accept the COVID-19
vaccine.</p>
<p>The group emphasizes the voluntary nature of this
medical treatment as well as the need for informed
consent and individual risk-benefit assessment. They
reject the pressure exerted by public health officials,
the news and social media, and fellow citizens.</p>
<p>Control over our bodily integrity may well be the
ultimate frontier of the fight to protect civil
liberties. Read the letter here:</p>
<p><strong>Open Letter to the Unvaccinated</strong></p>
<p>You are not alone! As of 28 July 2021, 29% of Canadians
have not received a COVID-19 vaccine, and an additional
14% have received one shot. In the US and in the
European Union, less than half the population is fully
vaccinated, and even in Israel, the “world’s lab”
according to Pfizer, one third of people remain
completely unvaccinated. Politicians and the media have
taken a uniform view, scapegoating the unvaccinated for
the troubles that have ensued after eighteen months of
fearmongering and lockdowns. It’s time to set the record
straight.</p>
<p>It is entirely reasonable and legitimate to say ‘no’ to
insufficiently tested vaccines for which there is no
reliable science. You have a right to assert
guardianship of your body and to refuse medical
treatments if you see fit. You are right to say ‘no’ to
a violation of your dignity, your integrity and your
bodily autonomy. It is your body, and you have the right
to choose. You are right to fight for your children
against their mass vaccination in school.</p>
<p>You are right to question whether free and informed
consent is at all possible under present circumstances.
Long-term effects are unknown. Transgenerational effects
are unknown. Vaccine-induced deregulation of natural
immunity is unknown. Potential harm is unknown as the
adverse event reporting is delayed, incomplete and
inconsistent between jurisdictions.</p>
<p>You are being targeted by mainstream media, government
social engineering campaigns, unjust rules and policies,
collaborating employers, and the social-media mob. You
are being told that you are now the problem and that the
world cannot get back to normal unless you get
vaccinated. You are being viciously scapegoated by
propaganda and pressured by others around you. Remember;
there is nothing wrong with you.</p>
<p>You are inaccurately accused of being a factory for new
SARS-CoV-2 variants, when in fact, according to leading
scientists, your natural immune system generates
immunity to multiple components of the virus. This will
promote your protection against a vast range of viral
variants and abrogates further spread to anyone else.</p>
<p>You are justified in demanding independent
peer-reviewed studies, not funded by multinational
pharmaceutical companies. All the peer-reviewed studies
of short-term safety and short-term efficacy have been
funded, organized, coordinated, and supported by these
for-profit corporations; and none of the study data have
been made public or available to researchers who don’t
work for these companies.</p>
<p>You are right to question the preliminary vaccine trial
results. The claimed high values of relative efficacy
rely on small numbers of tenuously determined
“infections.” The studies were also not blind, where
people giving the injections admittedly knew or could
deduce whether they were injecting the experimental
vaccine or the placebo. This is not acceptable
scientific methodology for vaccine trials.</p>
<p>You are correct in your calls for a diversity of
scientific opinions. Like in nature, we need a
polyculture of information and its interpretations. And
we don’t have that right now. Choosing not to take the
vaccine is holding space for reason, transparency and
accountability to emerge. You are right to ask, ‘What
comes next when we give away authority over our own
bodies?’</p>
<p>Do not be intimidated. You are showing resilience,
integrity and grit. You are coming together in your
communities, making plans to help one another and
standing for scientific accountability and free speech,
which are required for society to thrive. We are among
many who stand with you.</p>
