(LifeSiteNews) — The doctor who served as Canada’s chair on immunization is now admitting what critics of the COVID narrative have been saying all along, that the flu is deadlier than COVID among young people.
“What we’ve seen in terms of severity of Covid disease in children is that it is actually less than influenza for most age groups in terms of risk of hospitalization,” Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh, who served as the chair of Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) from 2017 to 2021, told reporters at a press conference in Quebec earlier this week.
“And so, at one point in time, we’ll have to treat this virus as all the others and not be as stringent in trying to see where it’s coming from, trying to prevent its transmission completely, mainly because we now have — most of us — underlying immunity, be it through vaccination and/or previous infection,” added the doctor, all but confirming what dissidents of the mainstream COVID-19 narrative have been arguing since the onset of the so-called pandemic.
While government health authorities and the mainstream media have consistently pushed for the experimental injection of children, mandatory masking policies in schools and even school closures as a way of combatting COVID-19, LifeSiteNews has reported from the beginning that there exists a growing body of evidence indicating that masks are ineffective, that COVID poses little to no risk to children and that the COVID-19 vaccines cause more harm than they mitigate in young people.
In fact, Quach-Thanh’s admission that the flu is deadlier than COVID among children has been known for over a year, with researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine reporting in the summer of 2021 that they found a “mortality rate of zero among children without a pre-existing medical condition such as leukemia” when they “analyze[d] approximately 48,000 children under 18 diagnosed with Covid in health-insurance data from April to August 2020.”
Despite the existence of such evidence, doctors in Canada have been continually censored, fired and even stripped of their medical licenses for refusing to go along with the push to vaccinate children against the highly survivable virus.
