VICTORIA, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) — Dropping the term “booster shot,” the British Columbia health administration is now calling future doses of the experimental COVID-19 shot “updated seasonal” vaccines.
On August 4, British Columbia health officer Bonnie Henry announced that residents should take another dose of the COVID vaccine in September or October, which should be considered an updated vaccine, not a booster shot.
“I’m really thinking of this as an updated seasonal vaccine, as opposed to a booster, because the protection that we have from the previous vaccines that we’ve received still provides good strong cell-mediated immunity,” Henry said in an interview with the Victoria Times Colonist.
The push to vaccinate B.C. residents comes on the heels of a July 11 recommendation from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, which advocated for Canadians to receive another COVID shot this fall if they have not had one in the past six months or have not had COVID in the past six months.
“Regardless of how many vaccines you’ve had in the past, getting this updated one will be important for everybody… to protect you going into this fall,” Henry asserted.
Henry further attested that the updated vaccine uses “well-proven” technology and has been safely given millions of times, despite a lack of long-term studies and short-term studies revealing staggering side effects from the COVID vaccines.
According to Henry, the updated vaccine may provide immunity for more than a year, saying, “It may be that this updated vaccine will last longer than a year — those things we are still learning as we go.”
The province’s advocacy for the COVID vaccine comes shortly after Canada’s vaccine injury program reported paying out over $6 million to those injured by COVID vaccines. However, there are nearly 2,000 claims remaining to be settled.
In late June, LifeSiteNews reported on how further details show that research conducted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s own office shows that many Canadians intentionally hid their COVID jab status from federal pollsters, meaning the actual jab rates may not be as high as initially reported.
Moreover, Canada’s Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) database relies on individuals to ask their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to complete the AEFI form, which sometimes can be difficult for individuals to obtain, meaning the number of adverse events following vaccination may also be underreported.
The Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System is managed by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
There was also a recent instance of a person who was said to have died from the COVID shot, but whose family was denied compensation under the nation’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP).
In this instance, the father of 17-year-old Sean Hartman, Dan, said that an American pathologist has determined that the novel COVID-19 vaccine was responsible for his son’s sudden death. Sean died 33 days after getting one dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 injection.
As reported recently by LifeSiteNews, there is evidence that the Canadian federal government under Trudeau knew COVID shots could cause serious injuries, and instead of warning Canadians, decided to combat negative views of the vaccines by formulating “winning communication strategies” to convince the public to take the jabs.
Recently, 41-year-old Ross Wightman from British Columbia launched a lawsuit against AstraZeneca, the federal government of Canada, the provincial government of his province, and the pharmacy at which he was injected after receiving what he considers inadequate compensation from VISP.
Wightman received the AstraZeneca shot in April 2021 and shortly after became totally paralyzed. He was subsequently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
