This morning on Parliament Hill, Conservative MP Dean Allison, Shawn Buckley, and others held a press conference updating the country on the Allison Inquiry, the citizen-driven effort that gave vaccine-injured Canadians a platform in September.

Over 1,400 people applied to testify; roughly 50 spoke under oath.

The rest of their stories are going into the permanent record.

At the press conference, it was pointed out that under the Interim Order used during COVID, pharmaceutical companies could receive approval for their COVID-19 vaccines in Canada without submitting the usual safety or efficacy data to Health Canada.

While officials and media pushed the "safe and effective" message and mandates, the regulatory pathway itself required far less of the traditional evidence most Canadians assumed was mandatory.

The Inquiry featured testimonies of heart damage, neurological injuries, lost careers, dismissed complaints, and ongoing struggles with the Vaccine Injury Support Program.

Many were told their injuries were anxiety, coincidence, or all in their head.

This was not a full parliamentary inquiry with subpoena power, but it put injured Canadians and their families on the record in the seat of power.

Allison and Buckley made it clear that this is just the beginning, with talk of more town halls so additional MPs can hear these stories directly.
