Dean Allison · 8:29:06

I have actually got a problem with him also, maybe that's the only one you want. And they march about unemployment too. Many times, the problem was, was it's like one time you heard the social Mm-hmm.

Speaker C · 8:29:51

Because of—.

Dean Allison · 8:29:54

Hopefully that was— and, you know, one of the arguments was that Coastal Health Authority had said that vaccines don't prevent you from getting a COVID and neither do they prevent you from transmitting it. They made no difference. And so it was kind of like, what is the whole purpose of this? And so, and also the pressures about basically everyone losing their licenses that they would, you know, the impact about healthcare in British Columbia. Anyways, that got a lot of traction and in BC. And the same day, it was a letter to Premier Horgan at the time, that same day I put it out, they reversed course on basically decertifying all these people. So, but I, you know, this is a, it's been very difficult. It's been very difficult, very difficult for many healthcare workers that had problems with, with the vaccine, vaccination, from what they said and what they saw.

Dean Allison · 8:31:01

And we have testimony here also of, I believe, one of the, one of the witnesses just, uh, and actually a couple of witnesses that their, their daughter, I think Abigail, who died, and then, uh, and then others that were in the field, the, the impact they were seeing these things. And so anyways, it's, um, I think that we do need to be looking at this from a health perspective rather than keeping everything like, ask the questions, which is what you're, you're doing. Yeah, you're asking, you're saying, let's look at these questions, what's the problem, let's get the treatment, rather than having everything in a box. So thank you for asking those questions in the past and continuing to do so.

Charles Hoffe · 8:31:41

Thank you so much for sending that letter. I mean, I was about to lose my medical license because Dr. Bonnie Henry had set a deadline I think it was either the 23rd or the 26th of March, and, and, and I was expecting to lose my license because I was not going to take those shots. And so my patients were about to suddenly be with no family doctor. So thank you so much for doing that.

Shawn Buckley · 8:32:05

And Dr. Ha, thank you. We appreciate, uh, the stand that you've taken, and, and, uh, one of those doctors that people can come and get an honest opinion. And actually, uh, you have not been afraid to push back against the system when quite frankly, as we've heard over the last 2 days, has been very difficult to do. So thank you for your stand on that. All right. Thank you, everyone, for being here today. We're up against our timeline of 5:00. We will resume again tomorrow at 8:30 AM ET and on Day 3. So to the MPs that took the time to be here, we, we really appreciate it. We thank you. Thank you for your participation as well.

Jason Lavigne · 8:32:46
