In September 2018 former Canadian soldiers, and their supporters, gathered in Ottawa for an educational seminar on the anti-malarial drug Mefloquine, and then for a rally on Parliament Hill, the seat of Canada’s government. David traveled to Ottawa for both events, recording some outdoor interviews with rally participants, and some speeches by politicians, former soldiers and scientists. The last speech, by Dr. Remington Nevin, does not fit within our time slot, so is available here: http://theinfectiousmyth.com/201809nevin.mp3

Genevieve Rail, a Professor at Montreal’s Concordia University, is part of a group of academics who recently published a paper that describes how HPV vaccines are marketed in Canada with fake informed consent, the purpose of the marketing being to ensure acceptance, and not to encourage a dialog. The paper was based on interviews with girls, the targets, their parents, and health care workers. Since the vaccine is presently targeted mostly at girls, feminism is used (or abused) to try to increase uptake (which is a much greater concern than safety or effectiveness). Our discussion also covers some of the scientific reasons for concern with this specific vaccine.
