The John-Henry Westen Show - Canadian surgeon canceled for supporting informed consent for COVID shot

00:00:00.000 When the province started rolling out the vaccine at warp speed, literally, to our kids,

00:00:07.800 that's when I said to myself, I have to go public.

00:00:12.260 Otherwise, I could never live with my conscience.

00:00:16.440 Every once in a while, you get to meet a hero.

00:00:19.700 Thanks to the work I've been called to do, and for your benefit, I've been privileged to meet many.

00:00:25.280 Today's guest is one of those, although he will say that he's not.

00:00:27.940 I'm going to introduce you to a surgeon from Canada, someone with a long and prominent career.

00:00:34.180 Not only is he a practicing surgeon of more than 20 years, he's a prominent university professor

00:00:38.820 and even co-founded the program at the university in which he teaches, the editor of a medical journal as well.

00:00:46.080 He's just been cancelled for daring to suggest that there must be informed consent for the COVID vaccine rollout for children.

00:00:54.040 Stay tuned to meet Dr. Francis Christian.

00:00:57.940 So, Dr. Christian, you basically, for speaking, your medical concerns have been cancelled.

00:01:24.040 It's a horrific thing, but you've done it for the reason of truth and for the want to communicate to your patients

00:01:33.460 what is your medical responsibility.

00:01:35.660 So, if we can begin with, what happened to you and how did it happen?

00:01:39.980 My name is Francis Christian.

00:01:42.200 I am a surgeon.

00:01:43.340 And up until the 23rd of June, that's just over two weeks ago, I was the director of the quality improvement

00:01:58.580 and patient safety in our department of surgery in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

00:02:05.480 I was also a director of the surgical humanities program.

00:02:10.440 I was clinical professor of surgery.

00:02:14.120 And I had started both the Department of Quality Improvement and patient safety

00:02:21.060 and the surgical humanities program for the Department of Surgery here a few years ago.

00:02:27.500 And amongst multiple other activities, I had also started the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

00:02:36.460 for the department.

00:02:38.360 I had founded the SQSC, which is the Surgical Quality and Safety Committee, which I co-chaired.

00:02:47.200 And together with our university computer department, I developed an app.

00:02:53.960 It's an app that's now available on Apple Store and on Google Play Store.

00:02:58.820 It's called the M&M app or the Morbidity and Mortality app.

00:03:03.520 Now, this app is, in fact, being used now across the province of Saskatchewan.

00:03:08.060 I co-founded the Surgical Humanities Program and the editor of the Journal of the Surgical Humanities.

00:03:18.280 The fall 2020 issue of the journal had much in it about COVID-19, about the pandemic, including my editorial.

00:03:27.520 Now, on the 23rd of June, just over two weeks ago, I was called into what was termed a WebEx meeting

00:03:36.260 with the dean, the chief medical officer, and the interim head of the Department of Surgery in Saskatchewan.

00:03:46.820 I was stripped of my university faculty position, and I was fired from my roles as director of QI,

00:03:55.360 Quality Improvement and Patient Safety, and also fired from my role as director of the Surgical Humanities Program.

00:04:02.020 My offense or crime was supposedly asking for informed consent, informed consent from parents and children

00:04:14.320 in the rollout of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to our children in Saskatchewan.

00:04:23.140 Details of the WebEx meeting, John Henry, you can find that on the JCCF website.

00:04:31.000 The JCCF is, a lot of Canadians maybe don't know about this wonderful organization.

00:04:41.260 It's founded by John Carpe, and it basically defends Canadians' charter rights, fundamental rights,

00:04:54.980 constitutional rights, all those things we cherish in our society.

00:04:59.040 So if you go to the JCCF website, jccf.ca, you'll find my story there too.

00:05:07.100 It is very, very strange, mostly because your track record is so perfect.

00:05:14.780 I mean, in terms of patient care, in terms of patient concern, and in fact, this is the whole reason why you did what you did in the first place.

00:05:21.620 You're not a doctor who is against vaccines.

00:05:25.720 No one can call you an extremist of any kind.

00:05:28.580 As you said, your magazine covered COVID, the severity of it, and so on.

00:05:35.020 Your issue was with the effect on children.

00:05:38.920 If you could give us a few of the points, I mean, I've read it, of course, but for our viewership,

00:05:42.700 it's particularly those who like to view on video rather than read what's going on.

00:05:47.320 Please explain to us in a few points, if you will, what led to this problem?

00:05:52.580 What were the points you were making, particularly around vaccines for children?

00:05:57.160 John Henry, you said it quite right there.

00:06:00.060 I mean, I am not an anti-vaxxer or I'm not an anti-vaccine physician.

00:06:08.780 In fact, I made it very clear in multiple locations and through many communications that I'm a very pro-vaccine physician.

00:06:20.000 Now, on the 17th of June, I called a press conference and miraculously, the mainstream media were there.

00:06:31.580 So, you know, as you know, the mainstream media, unfortunately, have been co-opted as arms of government

00:06:40.380 in the kind of creeping dystopia and tyranny that is coming upon this country.

00:06:48.960 But, you know, miraculously, by the grace of God, the mainstream media were actually at this press conference.

00:07:02.200 CTV was there, Global News were there.

00:07:04.500 I started off by saying that I do not represent the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

00:07:09.520 I do not represent the University of Saskatchewan and that I was directly addressing parents and children.

00:07:19.600 And I started off by saying, and I quote, I am a very pro-vaccine physician.

00:07:25.640 I am only too aware of the great scourges of mankind, including smallpox, that have been eliminated or made innocuous by vaccination.

00:07:36.180 I'm also pro-vaccine for my own family, including myself, end quote.

00:07:41.060 Now, what I was asking for, John Henry, is essentially what is called informed consent.

00:07:48.880 It's not a controversial term at all.

00:07:53.560 The principle of informed consent is actually very simple.

00:07:58.940 It has truth.

00:08:00.760 It has science.

00:08:01.860 It has humanity at its heart.

00:08:03.320 And very simply, what it means is that the person by whom the drug, the vaccine, the treatment, the intervention is administered must always, always make the patient fully aware, the child fully aware in this case,

00:08:20.480 the parent fully aware of the risks of the medical intervention, the benefits of the intervention, and if any alternatives exist to the intervention.

00:08:34.800 Okay.

00:08:36.020 And I pointed out that this should apply particularly to a new vaccine that has never before been tried in humans.

00:08:43.860 So, you know, I decided to become public with this, and maybe I should tell you very briefly what drove that.

00:08:56.800 There were several things in the pandemic that I started questioning back in May.

00:09:05.340 That is the method of science.

00:09:07.360 We question things.

00:09:08.360 We are skeptical about things that are told to us.

00:09:10.760 Sometimes we follow narratives other than the official narrative.

00:09:15.740 And then by a process of discussion, open discussion, debate, a consensus has arrived at.

00:09:23.660 You know, our own authorities have often contradicted themselves.

00:09:27.460 And so anyway, I was at the beginning, I was in fact very much with the official narrative.

00:09:35.840 I supported the lockdown back in March and April.

00:09:42.040 There were some aspects of its enforcement that I didn't agree with.

00:09:45.660 But I thought to myself, you know, this is a new virus.

00:09:49.940 Let's give people a chance to get a hold of it.

00:09:53.820 And then in May of last year, 2020, I found that they were censoring.

00:10:01.440 Mainstream media, and that includes, you know, CBC, CTV, to a lesser extent, global news.

00:10:08.620 But the mainstream media, social media, YouTube, all the American channels were censoring.

00:10:19.400 They were censoring not just anybody, but they were censoring world experts.

00:10:25.000 They were censoring people like Martin Kulldorff of Harvard or Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, Sunetra Gupta of Oxford.

00:10:33.860 And these were world leaders.

00:10:35.460 Some of them we knew about.

00:10:36.620 Martin Kulldorff is a world authority on epidemics and vaccines.

00:10:41.520 His software is actually being used by epidemiologists.

00:10:45.060 And these guys were going against the official narrative.

00:10:49.020 They pointed out that lockdowns impose their own costs on society.

00:10:54.240 Okay.

00:10:54.420 And they pointed out that we should exploit the massive difference in mortality between the elderly and the younger folk.

00:11:04.820 The vulnerable, the elderly, for whom the vaccine is dangerous.

00:11:11.640 I'm sorry, the virus is dangerous.

00:11:15.820 The virus is actually dangerous for elderly people, vulnerable people, and maybe healthcare workers.

00:11:23.320 And these groups, they were advocating, yes, protect them with vaccines if necessary, but let life carry on as usual for the rest of us.

00:11:35.100 And these were experts from Oxford, from Stanford, from Harvard.

00:11:39.720 And even before I had formed an opinion on this, they were censoring them.

00:11:44.140 And I started asking questions.

00:11:46.720 Why is this censoring taking place?

00:11:49.340 Another group of physicians were being censored.

00:11:52.720 Censored, and those are the physicians of what we call the FLCC, the frontline COVID critical care doctors.

00:12:01.420 And these were guys who were on the frontline of, and we knew about some of these guys.

00:12:07.100 We knew about Pierre Corey, his point of care textbook on ultrasound is actually standard reading, even in our hospital here.

00:12:16.300 And then you had a guy called Paul Maric, who was, and I think still is, the second most published ever intensive care physician in the world.

00:12:27.340 And there was a guy who was originally from Italy.

00:12:30.600 His name is Umberto Meduri, who was the fellow who, not invented, but he was the guy who popularized for the first time and showed that non-invasive ventilation works.

00:12:44.340 So we knew some of these names already.

00:12:46.300 These were massive, you know, published, and very scientifically renowned physicians, and they were being censored.

00:12:55.140 They still are being censored.

00:12:56.680 And they were advocating for things like early treatment with something called ivermectin.

00:13:03.380 Ivermectin is one of the safest drugs known to humankind.

00:13:07.700 It is, its inventor got the Nobel Prize in medicine because of the great impact on world health.

00:13:16.680 The FLCC group showed through their own experience and through getting together experience from across the world that this is an amazing drug.

00:13:28.640 It can end the pandemic.

00:13:29.640 And they were being censored.

00:13:31.800 Yeah.

00:13:32.000 And I was asking myself, I'd never seen anything like this in my lifetime.

00:13:36.160 And so I thought, you know, I need to question this.

00:13:40.840 I need to ask some questions.

00:13:42.520 And that's when I started asking questions back in May.

00:13:44.780 And I was trying to influence the system from within.

00:13:48.580 But when our province and across Canada and, of course, in the States as well, I think that the Canada, the U.S. and Israel are the only countries giving the vaccine to children.

00:14:01.280 OK, when the province started rolling out the vaccine at warp speed, literally, to our kids, that's when I said to myself, I have to go public.

00:14:15.340 Otherwise, I could never live with my conscience.

00:14:18.380 And that's when I gave this press conference.

00:14:21.540 And that was the 17th.

00:14:23.680 It was a Thursday.

00:14:25.500 It was a blustery, sunny day.

00:14:27.480 And I pointed out that the principle of informed consent was being consistently violated in this province for the mRNA vaccine for our kids.

00:14:38.980 And I pointed out that I had not met a single child or parent who had been adequately informed and who then understand the risks of the vaccine or its benefits.

00:14:48.960 And I pointed out that the vaccine was new.

00:14:52.020 And by definition, it was an experimental vaccine.

00:14:57.480 The phase three trials were not designed to end until 2023.

00:15:01.860 It had never been used in humans before.

00:15:04.640 That the mRNA vaccine has never been authorized by either Health Canada or the CDC for full and complete authorization.

00:15:16.160 Health Canada has it under what is called interim authorization.

00:15:20.780 In the U.S., it's under what is called emergency use authorizations.

00:15:25.180 How many parents and kids knew that?

00:15:26.800 And isn't that very basic?

00:15:29.140 It's really very, very simple and basic for parents and kids to understand.

00:15:35.640 And then I pointed out that in order to qualify for emergency use authorization, there must be an emergency.

00:15:43.180 Right?

00:15:43.940 And for the elderly population, for the vulnerable, for health care workers, there was, of course, an emergency.

00:15:50.160 There is an emergency.

00:15:51.160 Several thousands of people have died of COVID-19.

00:15:54.260 But the mean age of those who have died is 83.8 in Canada.

00:16:00.400 The mean age.

00:16:02.180 There is, therefore, a strong case for vaccinating the elderly, the vulnerable and health care workers.

00:16:09.400 But COVID-19 does not pose a threat to our kids.

00:16:14.660 The risk of them dying of COVID is less than 0.003%.

00:16:20.140 And that is even less than the risk of them dying of the flu.

00:16:23.820 And there is, therefore, no emergency in children.

00:16:26.080 So this is, again, if you think about it, how many parents and kids actually know this?

00:16:33.140 All they know is this fear conditioning that has been rolled out to them by mainstream media, which, as I've said, is an arm of government now.

00:16:45.060 I pointed out that the studies show that children do not, do not readily transmit the COVID virus to adults.

00:16:53.360 And shouldn't adults be immune or vaccinated anyway?

00:16:57.440 So, and in many countries, actually, the studies show, for example, in Sweden, that teachers had significantly lower rates of COVID-19 than the general population.

00:17:07.280 So there's no reason to keep our schools closed.

00:17:09.200 And then, you know, the fact is that the mRNA vaccine, by that time, and, you know, unfortunately, the vaccine adverse event reporting system in the United States has recorded even more deaths associated with the vaccine.

00:17:27.680 I pointed out that the VAERS, V-A-E-R-S system shows associations and not necessarily causations, but that this was a strong signal.

00:17:40.440 Now, at the time I gave the press conference, John Henry, the VAERS system had recorded 5,888 deaths, and now it's more than 9,000.

00:17:49.960 And, again, these are associations, and we don't know whether they're causations.

00:17:54.000 Yes, yes, that's true, but in any other drug or vaccine, they would have been sufficient to stop the whole program.

00:18:02.760 A pause and a regrouping and certainly a big signal not to give it to our kids.

00:18:08.920 So that's another thing I pointed out at the press conference.

00:18:12.400 I pointed out that the mRNA vaccine was already causing problems for kids, including a condition called myocarditis, which is actually a serious condition.

00:18:21.680 There's no such thing as mild myocarditis.

00:18:25.380 Any cardiologist will tell you that.

00:18:28.040 Mild is something that you realize as the disease goes on, and some myocarditis kids will recover, yes.

00:18:37.960 Many will recover.

00:18:39.280 Many will actually become very sick from it.

00:18:41.640 Some may die from it, and some may have long-term problems with it.

00:18:45.160 And, in fact, as I was being fired, ironically, the CDC was meeting to consider exactly this problem of myocarditis in kids associated with the vaccine.

00:18:57.700 And since that time, Health Canada and the CDC have come out with an explicit warning that should be included when this vaccine is considered.

00:19:16.180 So, you know, the fact is, the German vaccine agency, the Swedish vaccine agency, the UK vaccine agency have all said this vaccine should not, need not be given to kids.

00:19:29.060 Okay?

00:19:29.660 In some cases, they've okayed it for very sick kids.

00:19:32.940 Somebody with leukemia, vulnerable, immune system, suppressed, that sort of kid.

00:19:37.720 But when so many other major vaccine agencies have said no to vaccinating kids, and when we already know that these were problems coming up, what was Health Canada doing?

00:19:52.480 And so, I pointed that out.

00:19:54.640 I pointed out that the benefit of the vaccine was marginal at best because there's something called absolute risk reduction, which is, and I won't go into the technical details of that.

00:20:05.240 But the absolute risk reduction is actually quite modest and quite low, and it's less than 2%.

00:20:13.400 Finally, I pointed out that the drug ivermectin is the alternative.

00:20:17.040 You remember what I said about informed consent, the risks, the benefits, and if there are any alternatives.

00:20:23.280 And I pointed out that, in fact, ivermectin was the alternative and that this common and cheap and very safe drug was being blocked in many Western countries.

00:20:32.520 If I were to prescribe ivermectin to somebody in Saskatchewan, it's not available anywhere in Saskatchewan.

00:20:38.760 Why is that?

00:20:40.020 So, I pointed out these things, very, very, very simple things, and I said, you know, this is what informed consent at its minimum for our children and parents should look like.

00:20:51.780 I urged our vaccine authorities, our public health authorities, to call a pause in the mRNA vaccine rollout to our kids.

00:21:01.480 I pointed out that informed consent was not being given to parents and children in Saskatchewan for the mRNA vaccine for our kids.

00:21:09.740 And that was all that happened for which I was fired and I was stripped of my positions.

00:21:17.240 I have so many questions for you.

00:21:18.600 One, just off the bat, did you envisage this outcome as an even remote possibility when you went forward in the first place?

00:21:29.760 A remote possibility, yes, because we are living in what I think I refer to as dystopian times.

00:21:36.200 I mean, unfortunately, anything other than the official narrative is not allowed, okay, is censored, is demonized too, is, you know, there's deep platforming going on, smearing going on.

00:21:52.700 The mainstream media here, the Saskatoon Star Phoenix tried to do that to me too, I mean, pointing out certain things which had absolutely no bearing on what I'd said and twisting what I'd said and so on.

00:22:10.900 So there is, there is a dystopian tyranny that is creeping into this country and it's affecting the mainstream media, but not just the mainstream media, it's affecting our institutions, it's affecting academia.

00:22:27.880 And, you know, my firing might have been extreme, dramatic, and, you know, there's a recording of the firing, I don't know if you've listened to it.

00:22:36.660 You can find it on the JCCF website, the link to it, but, and that recording has gone around the world now.

00:22:45.280 But I got to tell you that I'm only one of several examples of my Canadian co-physician scientists who have been persecuted just for having an opinion other than the official narrative.

00:23:01.440 And there is a, I can give you, you know, right off the bat, I can tell you that there's an emergency doctor by the name of Chris Milburn, who was fired from his, his emergency medical director, I believe, role, because again, he criticized something to do with lockdowns.

00:23:22.260 There's another physician by the name of Charles Hoff, who had seen actual harm from the vaccine in his practice, and was trying to alert the authorities, as we're supposed to do, first do no harm.

00:23:35.800 This is what we have learned from the beginning.

00:23:39.640 This is the tradition of medicine, not just in our countries, in Western civilization, all over the world.

00:23:44.560 No matter what civilization, well, no matter where you look, first do no harm is a principle.

00:23:51.700 It was a principle, you know, before the time of Christ, even Hippocratic medicine talked about first do no harm.

00:23:59.760 The Canadian people owe you a lot of thanks and gratitude for being willing to sacrifice yourself for the truth, for your care for Canadian children, Canadians generally.

00:24:10.780 But what a horror is happening in Canada to the whole medical practice, because what this does is engender fear in physicians who, there's so many things that go on with physicians, like they consult with one another, even if it's off the mainstream opinion for now, because that mainstream opinion changes with the research that individual physicians do.

00:24:34.620 We spoke last week with Dr. Zelenko, who was one of the first to treat COVID patients in upper state New York, and he developed his own treatment protocol, as you know.

00:24:44.100 But this is, physicians work this way.

00:24:46.840 They work with one another.

00:24:49.020 They look at their patients.

00:24:50.320 They assess what's going on.

00:24:51.320 They try different things.

00:24:52.400 That's why we have off-label use of medications.

00:24:55.080 But this whole normal process of medicine is being completely stifled by what seems to be just a government agenda.

00:25:04.240 Absolutely incredible what's happening to the threat to the lives of patients, and obviously the harm to good physicians who are actually caring about those patients.

00:25:16.860 Where do you see this going in Canada?

00:25:20.020 Because I know your case is being taken up by the JCCF.

00:25:24.260 God bless them.

00:25:25.320 And we're going to actually do a push for support for the JCCF as well.

00:25:30.360 But where do you see this going?

00:25:33.580 Because, you know, from your insider perspective with regard to physicians in Canada, and thank you for telling us who the names are and some of their backgrounds.

00:25:42.500 Because it's fascinating to hear, but it's also for a lot of Canadians who are sort of, we're seeing these doctors, and we don't know exactly who they are and what they are, just to see how renowned they are, and yet being cancelled anyway.

00:25:55.120 But where do you see this going?

00:25:57.200 All that men and women of science hold dear is under, I would say, unprecedented and continuous assault.

00:26:05.980 Unprecedented because this is on a global scale.

00:26:09.200 And you and I know, and scientists and physicians know, that the scientific method, which has been responsible for so much human progress, so much of the relief of human suffering, is itself being subjected to daily abuse by totalitarian authorities.

00:26:29.560 And with a compliant press, unfortunately, and major internet platforms, they're all acting as arms of government, arms of big pharma, arms of business.

00:26:42.560 And, you know, this is something that I feel is a pivotal, crucial moment in our history.

00:26:51.920 We physicians and scientists have always known, we continue to believe that throughout history, opposing views, vigorous debate, and openness to new ideas.

00:27:03.880 These have been the bedrock of scientific progress.

00:27:08.600 And, you know, any major advance in science has been arrived at by scientists, surgeons, physicians, practitioners, vigorously questioning, quote unquote, official narratives, and following a different path in the pursuit of truth.

00:27:26.020 And these have been the methods of science.

00:27:56.000 All the signs are there.

00:27:57.080 I mean, if you look at the press, for example, Lenin, at the Council of People's Commissars' decree on the press, November 9th of 1917, he said, publications can be proscribed temporarily or permanently only by decision of the Council of People's Commissars.

00:28:19.060 So, this Council of People's Commissars in today's Canada is public health authorities, governments, and I don't care what government, you know, you call it conservative, you know, NDP, liberal, they're all in this together, I think.

00:28:37.440 And then only the Council of People's Commissars, only mainstream media, only YouTube can really be the arbiters of truth.

00:28:47.740 And then there's the next item on this Council of People's Commissars' decree on the press of 1917 is that the present ordinance is of a temporary nature and will be repealed by a special decree as soon as normal conditions of social life set in.

00:29:06.740 Now, I've got to tell you, this is very, very, very similar to what is going on.

00:29:13.820 Everybody's saying this is temporary.

00:29:15.480 All these emergency measures, all these emergency acts that legislatures have passed, you know, up and down the country will be temporary and it will be repealed by a special decree or whatever.

00:29:28.340 We know that Soviet tyranny, Soviet communism lasted not one year or two years, but 70 years. 0.56

00:29:37.200 I think Canadians need to wake up.

00:29:41.000 Canadians need to see that this dystopian darkness is closing around us.

00:29:46.760 And we, the people, need to make our voices heard.

00:29:52.420 Dr. Christian, if you wouldn't mind telling us a little bit more about that connection to communism.

00:29:56.840 I will tell you more about it because I've studied this in great detail.

00:30:01.300 I've been interested in these totalitarian, tyrannical methods of control of the Soviet Union, actually, since I was a teenager.

00:30:10.580 So I've been studying it for many years.

00:30:12.200 Here's the other similarity, which is really very disturbing.

00:30:17.520 The Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union was this world power, it put out what is called the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.

00:30:25.780 And what it says about Soviet censorship in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, and I'm just going to look it up.

00:30:37.340 It says, quote, it was aimed only at protecting the interests of the working class, i.e. the people.

00:30:45.820 So you have the similarities now, because what they're saying is, you know, this is a public health emergency.

00:30:52.140 We're just protecting the people by censoring it.

00:30:57.240 We're an arm of government because we're concerned about the people.

00:31:01.680 That's what the Soviets did. 0.97

00:31:03.320 And then the other thing that happened in the Soviet Union is children were the easiest targets for propaganda.

00:31:12.540 Because, you see, all of them had to attend state-run schools and where teachers were fired, as we know, if they were found to be religious in any way.

00:31:21.200 So if they were talking to kids about the Bible, the Koran, you know, Judaism, you know, they could be, you know, sent off to Siberia.

00:31:32.560 They could be sent off to the Gulag.

00:31:34.480 You know, there's a well-known way in which kids were persecuted, and the persecution was by a well-known method of dividing society, dividing people, and in this case, dividing the schools.

00:31:52.860 Children who admitted to attending church services, this is on record, they received poorer marks in school.

00:32:00.420 And because of the anti-religious tone of education, you know, students frequently mocked their believing peers.

00:32:09.160 Now, is that happening in the vaccine world among our kids?

00:32:13.080 Of course it is.

00:32:14.260 I'm hearing stories of that every day.

00:32:16.740 Teachers are pressurizing kids to get vaccinated.

00:32:20.040 Kids are getting raptors masks for getting vaccinated, you know, and that is, again, such an unethical thing to do.

00:32:28.400 I talked about informed consent.

00:32:31.260 You have to, you know, you have to look at how, you know, the vaccine thing is dividing parents from their kids as well.

00:32:40.720 In fact, one of the leading newspapers in the United States had an article that said why kids should disobey their parents and get vaccinated.

00:32:51.080 This is a well-known tactic.

00:32:52.800 This is a well-known tactic of the Soviet Union.

00:32:55.800 All the children in the Soviet Union were taught to have a higher loyalty to the state than to the families, and were encouraged to denounce their parents for anti-Soviet activities like attending church.

00:33:08.080 So, there is a disturbing, dystopian similarity to what is happening now, and I really do believe that Canadians must wake up to the approaching darkness.

00:33:23.460 Because if you wait, it may be too late.

00:33:27.840 Now, on a note, I'd like to end this segment, if I may, John Henry, on a note of hope.

00:33:33.260 Yes.

00:33:34.100 When the Soviet Union crumbled in the 90s, okay, what was still standing? 0.51

00:33:41.220 The Bible was intact.

00:33:42.440 The Koran was intact. 0.96

00:33:46.800 Religious education emerged intact, okay?

00:33:52.460 And even during the period of severe Soviet censorship, if you were caught with a Bible, you could be sent off to the Gulag or sent to a psychiatric hospital.

00:34:02.880 Even during that time, there was what was called in Soviet times the Samizdat, which is Russian for self-published press.

00:34:14.040 And there were scores of illegal books, okay, illegal to the Soviet Union, you know, verses of the Bible, books of the Bible, great works of literature.

00:34:24.960 You know, people of my age have probably seen the movie Dr. Zhivago, but Boris Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago was, this masterpiece was actually banned in the Soviet Union.

00:34:40.860 So was, you know, Bulgakov, Mikhail Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, or Alexander Chalvinistian.

00:34:49.820 But in small basements or apartments at great peril to themselves, the Samizdat, the self-published press in typewriters, in manual typewriters, would be churning out pages of the Bible,

00:35:04.260 of these great masterpieces of literature, and smuggling them into the streets of Moscow, Petersburg, all over Russia.

00:35:14.440 And when the Soviet government fell, every tyranny will collapse.

00:35:19.020 When the tyranny collapsed, what was left standing?

00:35:22.700 The Bible, all these great works of literature, these works of literature and religious education, they were all still intact.

00:35:31.660 And in 1946, the BBC, which is unfortunately now also an arm of government, but at that time, it was a very different BBC.

00:35:43.680 In 1946, they started broadcasting radio services for Soviet citizens.

00:35:49.100 So did Voice of America, Radio Liberty, Deutsche Welle.

00:35:52.200 And here's the thing.

00:35:56.340 Dave, from what was at that time, the Free West, they were broadcasting messages of liberty and freedom into the Soviet Union.

00:36:04.700 That is what you are doing, John Henry Weston.

00:36:07.620 You are doing the work of Samizdat. 0.94

00:36:09.980 You're doing the work of this banned broadcasting service, broadcasting into the dark areas of our civilization, messages of freedom and liberty.

00:36:24.960 And unsurprisingly, the Kremlin was not happy with Western media trying to meddle with Soviet citizens.

00:36:31.440 So what did it do?

00:36:32.960 So it started blocking radio frequencies used by foreign stations.

00:36:39.300 Do you see the similarities?

00:36:41.900 Yeah.

00:36:43.220 Unbelievable.

00:36:44.340 One of the things you said was very interesting.

00:36:46.340 You talked about how there is a viable treatment with ivermectin.

00:36:50.620 One of the key aspects of emergency use authorization was that there can be no effective treatment.

00:37:02.160 Were there one, then you could not have this bypass of the normal, careful measures taken to approve drugs.

00:37:10.920 That's why we don't have an FDA approval.

00:37:13.220 We have only an emergency use authorization.

00:37:17.360 But in order to get there, you had to have no effective treatment.

00:37:22.780 So given what's going on, given the fact that many, many doctors have used ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and associated treatments successfully all over the world,

00:37:33.700 doesn't it make you wonder if there wasn't a program behind it in the first place?

00:37:38.680 I know that's kind of conjecture, except all the evidence points in that direction.

00:37:43.060 I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.

00:37:44.560 I can only tell you, John Henry, what I see.

00:37:47.540 What I see as the evidence, as a science, and as what is happening.

00:37:53.860 As to why it is happening, I think your listeners, your viewers should make their own conclusions.

00:38:01.380 I mean, as somebody has said, don't outsource your thinking.

00:38:04.820 Just think for yourself.

00:38:06.000 So what you say is absolutely right.

00:38:09.000 If there were no emergency, then the emergency authorization of the vaccine cannot be carried forward.

00:38:19.500 It takes the wind out of the sails of the vaccine companies.

00:38:24.240 So, for example, we know that there is no emergency in kids.

00:38:30.000 Why are we vaccinating the kids with a vaccine which is under emergency or interim use authorization?

00:38:36.600 Now, with regard to ivermectin, you're absolutely right.

00:38:41.300 There are not just hundreds, but hundreds of thousands of physicians around the world who have used ivermectin successfully.

00:38:48.720 That is what we call anecdotal use.

00:38:53.000 However, there are dozens of studies, many randomized controlled trials, which show that ivermectin is not only useful, but massively useful.

00:39:07.120 It keeps people out of hospitals, as empty as the hospitals, it can end the pandemic.

00:39:12.620 And just go to the FLCCC website.

00:39:16.660 Also, there is a, coming up, I think, on the 25th of this month, there's World Ivermectin Day.

00:39:23.980 Those experts and those renowned scientists and physicians who have published papers, peer-reviewed papers,

00:39:32.340 using, you know, standard meta-analysis tools, okay, in leading journals, they are being still censored.

00:39:42.980 They are being deplatformed.

00:39:45.980 They are being smeared.

00:39:48.860 But the message is getting through, in spite of the, you know, Google and Microsoft and YouTube and all these, Twitter.

00:39:58.080 And actually, I got to tell you, there are probably people in media, too, with a conscience, okay?

00:40:05.600 And I have no doubt there are, actually, okay?

00:40:08.700 There are a lot of people in media.

00:40:10.580 Some of them actually have reached out to me, saying that, look, there's this censorship going on.

00:40:16.500 This is not journalism.

00:40:18.060 Journalism is following a story and see where it leads.

00:40:21.180 Investigator journalism doesn't happen anymore.

00:40:23.180 This sort of thing, I've heard it from journalists who are scared to actually, you know, identify themselves.

00:40:31.200 But on a massive scale, I have to tell you, Twitter is not censoring, Twitter is not censoring as much as many other media platforms.

00:40:41.200 And I'm not sure why that is.

00:40:42.560 It could be monetary.

00:40:44.200 It could be that Jack Dorsey somehow had a twinge of conscience.

00:40:48.460 I don't know.

00:40:49.720 In Canada, you know, CTV did an attempted hit piece on me.

00:40:56.520 And the Sastron Star Phoenix was very biased from the beginning.

00:41:00.920 But Global News, I thought, did a very fair story on my firing in the evening news and in the thing.

00:41:10.460 So here and there, media is breaking out, okay?

00:41:14.320 But 99% of the time, you know, you and several voices around the country and several, you know, physicians, scientists are being censored, including those who advocate for ivermectin.

00:41:30.960 Think about this, John Henry, hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved if ivermectin was allowed for use.

00:41:42.460 You know, this has been done from the beginning of medicine, repurposed drugs for new users, okay?

00:41:49.920 And this is one of the safest drugs ever.

00:41:53.080 It's safer than Tylenol.

00:41:54.980 It's widely used.

00:41:56.420 Billions of doses have been given for parasitic diseases.

00:41:59.200 The repurposing is for viral disease.

00:42:02.700 We know that it works.

00:42:04.380 We know that it works.

00:42:05.860 But we cannot get ivermectin in the West.

00:42:08.740 Why?

00:42:09.380 I don't know.

00:42:10.300 I would say, you know, to my physician colleagues too, I would appeal to them.

00:42:15.000 If you feel that, you know, you're being censored, you cannot live with your conscience, you're violating your oath to be first thinking about your patient,

00:42:28.140 not about your position or about what other people would say.

00:42:34.740 Your first duty is to the patient.

00:42:36.580 These are things which we are taught right from the beginning.

00:42:38.680 These are the pledges we make when we become physicians.

00:42:41.240 If you think that it's time to speak out, speak out now, because later may be too late.

00:42:49.600 And, you know, I've got to tell you, the silence from physicians and scientists who are just scared is deafening.

00:42:58.920 And, you know, my question to them is, if you don't speak out now, will you still be able to live with your conscience?

00:43:06.840 And one of the things you said is so powerful and I think needs to be driven home.

00:43:11.180 This has cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of lives.

00:43:16.280 The fact that ivermectin works, works against COVID, especially in early treatment, as studies have shown.

00:43:24.780 And yet, by hindering it, you've actually cost lives in the hundreds of thousands.

00:43:31.600 That needs to hit home.

00:43:34.120 The responsible parties of the governments and whatever powers that be that are restricting these working medications,

00:43:42.040 at some point, this will be looked back upon and seen as an intentional type of even genocide or something that people were willing for whatever political business,

00:43:54.960 pharmaceutical, whatever reason, to allow for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people intentionally when they knew better.

00:44:03.160 That's just unbelievable.

00:44:04.300 And I've not been associating this with any particular crime against humanity, but I have to say that the censoring of a treatment that can save lives

00:44:21.320 could indeed be considered a crime against humanity.

00:44:26.080 If you're blocking treatment that can save lives, it could be considered a crime against humanity.

00:44:31.680 Let me give you a couple of examples of very recent instances where knowledge of ivermectin and of the world-renowned physicians who are promoting it

00:44:44.980 has been censored, blocked, deplatformed, and persecuted.

00:44:50.680 The inventor of ivermectin, the Japanese inventor, he was given a Nobel Prize for his invention, was on YouTube.

00:44:58.460 Essentially, he was explaining how the drug likely works against viruses, okay?

00:45:08.420 YouTube pulled him down.

00:45:11.040 YouTube took him down.

00:45:13.240 The inventor of ivermectin, the Nobel Prize winner, explaining how it works in viral disease, was taken down by YouTube.

00:45:23.100 Under whose orders?

00:45:24.140 I don't know.

00:45:24.940 And like I said, I can only tell you what's happening.

00:45:28.780 Why it's happening, I don't know.

00:45:31.040 But you can make your own conclusions, okay?

00:45:33.800 Unbelievable.

00:45:35.020 Dr. Christian, thank you so much for being with us on this episode of the John Henner Osten Show.

00:45:39.800 God bless you for what you've already done for Canadians and what you're doing for your patients.

00:45:44.900 And please, God, many physicians will follow your example.

00:45:51.460 And it's an example of self-sacrifice, but an example of really giving yourself to the profession, the real profession of medicine,

00:45:59.620 that it may be able to survive whatever insanity that we're going through right now.

00:46:04.800 And I don't regard my example, as you put it, as being exceptional in any way, actually.

00:46:10.580 I'm just following time-honored principles and ethics, medical ethics, medical principles, scientific pursuit of truth,

00:46:22.300 that generations of physicians, regardless of faith or religious persuasion, have followed all over the world.

00:46:32.300 So I don't consider what I'm doing, you know, exceptional in any way.

00:46:36.980 I'm following the path that generations of physicians have taught us to follow.

00:46:43.920 You know, medical ethics, putting the patient first, the scientific pursuit of truth, evidence-based medicine.

00:46:53.860 These are not controversial, informed consent.

00:46:56.540 These are not controversial topics at all.

00:46:58.800 Absolutely.

00:46:59.960 Thank you.

00:47:00.780 May God bless you.

00:47:02.320 And God bless all of you.

00:47:03.760 We'll see you next time.

00:47:06.900 Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.

00:47:11.040 I'm coming to you today because we want to be sure that we are communicating clearly with you, our loyal followers.

00:47:19.160 Things are really heating up, as I'm sure you can see.

00:47:22.920 Christians, conservative truth-tellers are being targeted, are being banned from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram at an alarmingly fast rate.

00:47:34.760 They are attempting to suppress any narrative that does not fit that of the mainstream media.

00:47:40.140 We knew this day would come.

00:47:43.400 We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms to continue to reach you.

00:47:51.140 We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going to explain in a minute, but the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com because there we will always be.

00:48:02.360 But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well.

00:48:10.200 We would love to see each of you on those platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day.

00:48:18.640 More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter.

00:48:26.100 We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing platform, and we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when, we are removed from our current platform as well.

00:48:40.900 Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com.

00:48:49.200 Make it your homepage.

00:48:51.240 While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting.

00:49:03.380 Here's the thing, we will never stop sharing the truth.

00:49:08.620 We founded this organization with the mission to be the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the truth.

00:49:17.260 We have established a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with censorship happening around the globe.

00:49:26.620 Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe, Rumble, and on our email list.

00:49:32.620 You can find all the direct links in the description of this video.

00:49:37.860 May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to follow and support LifeSite News.
