Data Evidence Capsule ("Red Flag") #1: PHAC - Covid Deaths among Vaccinated and data skewing [YouTube]

Notes from My Hearing so far...

Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing a series of data evidence capsules that I am preparing for the continuation of my hearing, which challenges my employer’s decision to suspend me for discussing and sharing information drawn from official government data.

In partnership with Ted Kuntz, the chair of the National Citizens Inquiry, arrangements have been made to present small (15-minute long) evidence snippets from my case during the weekly Freedom Leaders meetings organized by Ted at lunchtime on Fridays.

Below is the first such data evidence capsule. Each capsule will include direct pages in the exhibits and documents submitted by both myself and the employer, along with download links for those document from my website: www.ivim.ca/hearing .

Enjoy and share around!

• Opening statements were delivered first by the Employer, then by the Grievor :

• The Employer presented its allegations

  • Exhibits added from Employer’s Book of Documents

  • Witness was asked to testify on the challenges of finding the desired information (such as the percentage of covid deaths among fully vaccinate) from official PHAC reports.

  • It was then planned that the witness would also testify on his role in gathering and validating the PHAC data for “Vitals Web App” that he helped to develop. However, this never happed for reasons described below.

  • After first 30 mins of the Professor’s testimony, the Chair took the word to state that, at this point, he has no doubt in validity of Grievor’s data [referring to the visualization tools developed by the Grievor and the insights that were gained from those visualizations]. It is what Grievor did with this data that he needs to examine (”Your data is not in doubt, it is what you did with your data“), and hence he does not see any value in further examination of this witness or any other witness Dmitry was planning to call.

  • Grievor asked to take the break to decide on whether he still wants to proceed with his first witness testimony.

3rd Day - 3 PM(after break)

• Based of the Chair’s statement quoted above, Grievor announced his decision to cancel the testimony of his first witness.
