We are vaccinated and unvaccinated healthcare professionals, from multiple disciplines, standing together against the AHS covid vaccine mandate...
Thousands of healthcare workers in the province of Alberta, including nearly 200 doctors, have vowed to fight government COVID-19 injection mandates, and have raised the alarm over adverse injection reactions witnessed firsthand.
“We are vaccinated and unvaccinated healthcare professionals, from multiple disciplines, standing together against the AHS covid vaccine mandate. We stand for principles of medical autonomy, informed consent and freedom of choice,” reads the “Health Professionals United” webpage. “As front-line health care workers, we have witnessed serious adverse events, including deaths, that were temporally, closely associated from the administration of these vaccines.”
The group has written an “Open Letter” dated September 9 to Dr. Verna Yiu, Alberta Health Services (AHS) president and CEO, which workers in the healthcare field can still sign. The letter calls out a mandate by AHS that all staff and contractors must be fully vaccinated by October 31.
“We decisively conclude that we are in strong opposition to mandatory vaccination. As of Nov 1, 2021 or earlier, AHS’s decision to implement such a mandate will prevent many dedicated health care workers and other AHS staff from performing the jobs they have done valiantly over the past eighteen months,” reads the letter.
“This will put our currently severely strained health care system under further undue and needless pressure and put more Albertans at risk due to our inability to provide care for our patients. We respectfully request that the vaccine mandate be rescinded immediately so that AHS Health care workers can continue to provide care for Albertans.”
LifeSiteNews was contacted by a doctor who signed the letter and helped organize the group. She said that to date 1052 nurses, 197 physicians, 173 EMS, 69 dentists, 128 lab technicians, 72 health students, and 497 other healthcare workers have signed the letter.
Additionally, 352 support staff, 136 Allied health professionals, and 40 psychology students have also signed the letter. In total, there were 2792 signatures at the time this report was written.
All signatures are verified for authenticity before being officially included in the tally, the doctor said. For now, the names have remained hidden.
Group says “natural immunity is superior to vaccine immunity” Health Professionals United’s open letter lists many reasons why “we stand against mandatory vaccination.”
“These mRNA vaccines have NOT been proven to prevent disease uptake nor disease transmission supported by the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report August 6, 2021, (70(31);1059-1062),” said the group. “Where it is stated ‘Real-time RT-PCR Ct values in specimens from 127 fully vaccinated patients (median 22.77) were similar to those among 84 patients who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown (median = 21.54)’. Asymptomatic unvaccinated people have never been proven to be more infectious or transmit more disease than vaccinated individuals.”
The group also noted that the “overall survival rate from covid is approximately 99.7% and varies by age and underlying health status.”
The vaccine is showing weakened efficacy after only a few months. AHS’s own data shows currently approximately 25% of all new cases are in fully vaccinated patients and over 18% of hospitalizations are also fully vaccinated with percentages increasing as weeks go by,” said the group.
“The United Kingdom and Israel — two highly vaccinated countries have extremely high percentages of hospitalized patients being fully vaccinated. Indeed, the Israeli Public Health Department recently estimated the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine had fallen to 39% against the Delta variant and another recent study from the Mayo clinic had similar numbers at 42%.”
The group said the general “scientific consensus” is that “natural immunity is superior to vaccine immunity.”
“Many health care workers are already Covid recovered and immune. What evidence does AHS have for mandatory vaccines in those individuals,” the healthcare workers said.
Health Professionals United also has a section where healthcare workers can report “vaccine reactions,” which at some point will be made public.
Adverse jab reaction information to be made public..
Health Professionals United shared with LifeSiteNews they are hoping to soon release anecdotal documentation of first-hand accounts of side effects witnessed from COVID-19 jabs. For now, this information is being collected but remains private.
The medical professionals’ firsthand accounts of adverse COVID-19 “vaccine reactions” will help bolster public awareness that many consequences from the jab have gone unreported, the group told LifeSiteNews.
One Alberta doctor from the group who spoke with LifeSiteNews on the condition of anonymity said the reason the names are hidden for now is for fear of reprisals from management. He said many in the medical community are frustrated it has come to the point of losing one’s job because they do not want an “experimental injection.”
“This is about a fight for medical autonomy, a fight for our rights for informed consent, and also to raise awareness that vaccines should always be a choice, with no coercion ever,” said the doctor.
A nurse from the group who spoke with LifeSiteNews on the condition of anonymity said that many of the “unvaccinated” who ended up in the hospital, as noted by her, were hospitalized for reasons other than COVID.
The nurse said that because they tested positive despite the fact they were suffering from something else, they were listed as COVID patients. She also said she had witnessed many first-hand accounts of adverse reactions from the jab, which go unreported as they are simply “dismissed as something else” and not taken “seriously.”

FWIW, my union, a highly left wing union, has a lot of members asking about how to resist. Of perhaps 1,500 members, of which perhaps 10% access the ‘Telegram’ posting board(??), at least 1/4 of the postings are against the mandatory experimental shots. Given that many keep quiet for fear of negative attacks from union ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’, I would suspect that 3-400 will refuse the vaxx.
Personally, I am 60, I have no spouse, kids, brothers or sisters and my last surviving parent died in 1981. I have no house, no alimony, and my net worth is ‘negative’. I really don’t have anything to lose, or at least, anything my employer can ‘leverage’ against me. I lost it all about eight years ago.
I suspect that if my employer does push firing, with the REQUIRED intervention of the union it will be in the New Year. By that time, the TRUTH of the virus will be evident to most.
How will the gubmint keep things running with 20% unemployment and UUUGE unemployment and welfare costs? They won’t be able to! Even now the AHs at AHS (Alberta Health Services) claim that ICU patients are being sent to NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR, because ICUs are full in EVERY Province! I call BRAVO SIERRA! Flying a ‘critical ill’ patient 3,500 miles for an ICU bed? Horse ship! It is not unusual for patients from MT to travel to YYC for hospitalization, so I doubt that AB ICU patients would not be sent Stateside.
I discussed some parts of my personal situation with another FReeper via PM and he mentioned it brought to his mind Kristofferson’s (sp) line ‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.’ I mentioned that the song has been running through my mind for the last week.
I believe the totalitarians in power once again, overplayed their hand. A ‘day of reckoning before the Lord’ is coming )for everyone) and a ‘day of reckoning’ before the people is ALSO coming for these totalitarians!
“‘Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”
I thought 5hat was Janice Joplin in Bobby McGee.
Kris wrote the song.
So much for trading with Canaduh for Alberta in favor of losing New England....
Hang in there, bro.
That was what I thought, originally. Turns out that Kris Kristofferson wrote the song. It was recorded by Roger Miller, Kenney Rogers and Gordon Lightfoot but is most remembered as sung by Janis Joplin. I think her version sold so well because it was released posthumously after she ODed on heroin.
Thanks, man. Though I am often less than ‘Christ like’ in my comments, I do believe in Jesus and I know He’ll get me through.
The vaccine is showing weakened efficacy after only a few months. AHS’s own data shows currently approximately 25% of all new cases are in fully vaccinated patients and over 18% of hospitalizations are also fully vaccinated with percentages increasing as weeks go by,” said the group.
That 99.7 percent figure is a mistake in terms of how they are using it in this context. That number refers to the total numbers that include the sick but got over it crowd, those that had it but never knew it crowd, those that never had it but might get it crowd, those that never had it and will never get it, those vaxxed and those unvaxxed. In other words the death rate from covid as related to the total population of the country(the USA and Canada too if you want to lump them in as the Albertans are doing). That rate is 0.3% death rate for covid as related to the entire population.
For the populations that we know who actually get or who have gotten the disease, co-morbidities and not, the disease has been killing 1.7 percent of them. If you get sick enough to have to be hospitalized and you are in the unfortunate 15 percent of the hospitalized who actually have to go to the ICU, then the mortality rate we are seeing of ICU covid patients is 80 percent.
I do agree with what these Albertans are doing, and true,... 99.7 percent of the entire population of the US and Alberta will not succumb to Covid. It’s what happens to that population who actually get the disease that concerns me as an ICU RN. I’ve seen a lot of death from this disease or from the domino effects caused by this disease, especially in the last 3 months.
That was Bobby McGee song, right?
