My FOI request for internal government conversations about Covid-19 vaccine injury/death uncovers two branches within the PHAC that flagged 3 million docs and would require over 70 years to process.

During the summer of 2022, I submitted an FOI (Freedom of Information) request to the Public Health Agency of Canada asking for all documented internal conversations related to any adverse events, injuries, or deaths associated with the Covid-19 vaccine from the time the vaccine roll-out began until July 2022.

Recently, I submitted another FOI request extending the timeline for my request from the date of the vaccine roll-out in December 2020 to February 2023. 

A month ago via email, I was notified by the FOI admin handling my case that my initial FOI request has so far flagged 18K pages of documented conversations by the record holders.

We also had a phone conversation that same day and she advised that the end result of my request would likely end up being 25K to 30K documents.

Yesterday, I received another update on my extended timeline request and they informed this time that record holders had flagged 3 million pages of documented conversations for just two branches of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Those two branches within the Public Health Agency of Canada are CAEFISS, which is the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System, and VRTF, which is the Vaccine Rollout Task Force.

As you can see in the email above, they admit that the two branches of the Public Health Agency of Canada would flag 3 million records as per my request.

They claim in the same email that their FOI team can only process 41,000 pages per year. If that is the case, it would take roughly 70 years for my request to be processed just for the two branches within PHAC, that being CAEFISS and VRTF.

During a phone conversation with the FOI admin yesterday, she explained to me that the reason for so many documents within those two branches is likely because it would include conversations with Canadian officials and other country officials around the world.

Even if true, that is certainly a lot of conversations about vaccine adverse events, injuries, and death, for a vaccine that is supposed to have extremely rare side effects.

Although it would be interesting to see the conversations with Canadian and other country officials, I am more interested in, and focused on, the conversations happening between the provinces, territories and federal health authorities within Canada.

In conclusion of my phone conversation with the FOI admin yesterday, I decided to take out the records retrieval for CAEFISS and VRTF. The removal of these two branches of the PHAC will still flag tens of thousands of internal documented conversations within the country.

According to the FOI admin, this is the largest FOI request they have ever received. This request is without question complex and will require lots of consultations, privacy redactions, and a considerable amount of time for review on my end.

As always I will continue to keep you updated on this investigation as it unfolds.
