Um, it's, it's a bit, uh, it's one of those examples of what I feel is a bit a war on common sense in politics that often takes place. So it is, it is puzzling to me that on one hand we can have a political culture where talking about these issues is controversial or difficult. And yet on the other hand, we literally have a program in the federal government designed to compensate people for vaccine injury. So just to give you some background, I don't know how familiar you are with it in Canada, but since June of 2021, there has been what was then called the Vaccine Impact Assistance Program, has since been renamed, um, or sorry, at the time it was called the Vaccine Injury Support Program. Now it is called the Vaccine Impact Assistance Program. And Um, since June of 2021, over 3,500 claims have been filed. Um, over 250 have been successfully approved by the Medical Review Board, and over $21 million of Canadian taxpayer money has gone from the federal government to compensate people deemed to be vaccine injured.

So it is confusing that that could be happening with our public dollars, and at the same time this is considered a controversial thing to talk about. So I have, I think, two questions that I'd like to ask you for your thoughts on. One is, in terms of the specifics of vaccine injury, or as you put it, um, injection injury, um, what kind of data do you think our government should be collecting for, for programs like this to be optimally successful? Because right now it has gone from what was a third-party administered program over the last 4 and a half years to now being a government-administered program, which in theory means we can collect better data than we have been. And I think it would be good to get your thoughts on what kind of data and what kind of questions our government should be asking.
