On this edition of Forum Special, host Dean Allison is joined by constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley and physicians Dr. Charles Hoffe and Dr. Crystal Luchkiw to discuss the Allison Inquiry an effort to let Canadians who say they were injured by COVID-19 vaccines tell their stories to Members of Parliament. The panel talks about the 500 applications received in the first two days, the isolation and trauma of not being believed, and why so many doctors were reluctant to attribute harm to a vaccine. Dr. Luchkiw shares the story of her 43-year-old brother, a parliamentary aide who died after being diagnosed with vaccine-induced myocarditis, and Dr. Hoffe describes being fired after 30 years in the ER and charged with spreading misinformation following his open letter to public health in B.C. The conversation closes on Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program and the small share of claimants who have been paid.
