(LifeSiteNews) — 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 We respectfully request that the vaccine mandate be rescinded immediately so that AHS Health care workers can continue to provide care for Albertans.”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.
It's official: Joe Biden has announced that his Administration will be forcing COVID vaccinations on nearly 1/3rd of American citizens, blatantly disregarding the personal objections of millions of people and moving America ever closer towards a medical dictatorship.
We cannot stand for this unprecedented overreach, and we will not submit to Biden's tyrannical public coercion efforts.
Please SIGN this urgent petition informing the President that you will NOT comply with these unconstitutional vaccine mandate orders issued by the Biden Administration, and that elected officials should act in their capacity to block these intrusive demands.
On Thursday, September 9th, Joe Biden announced the latest round of federal orders meant to further coerce large swaths of the public into getting the COVID vaccine -- many against their will.
While the legal standing of these measures is, at best, dubious, the Biden Administration appears more ready than ever to gut our individual rights and practically erase medical autonomy in our country.
This latest escalation in overreach was announced via a televised speech in which Biden outlined a new "six-point plan" that includes far more than just six avenues to achieve mass medical compliance.
Among the most egregious new federal mandates are the following:
- A requirement that all private businesses employing more than 100 people mandate their workers get the Covid-19 vaccine or submit to weekly testing (to be implemented by way of a new Department of Labor rule)
- A requirement that all federal employees and federal contractors get the COVID vaccine
- A requirement that all healthcare workers in facilities that receive reimbursement from Medicare and/or Medicaid (an estimated 17 million) get the Covid-19 vaccine without an alternative testing option
- A requirement that all Head Start teachers get the COVID vaccine
- A federal effort to lobby states to implement vaccine mandates for all school employees, and require regular testing of all students and school staff
- A federal effort to lobby entertainment venues to require proof of vaccination or testing in order to grant entry to the public
- A continuation of mask mandates on all federal properties and during interstate travel (i.e. planes, trains, buses)
All in all, these new vaccine mandates, which will go into effect within the coming weeks, will affect an estimated 100 million American workers -- 2/3rds of the entire workforce!
And, according to an administration official, violations of these unconstitutional requirements could result in fines of up to $14,000.
While this is clearly a political ploy on the part of the Joe Biden and his team of power-hungry Washington insiders to shift the focus from their disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the American public knows better: After nearly a year and a half's worth of arbitrary, ever-changing, and unconstitutional government mandates in response to the COVID outbreak, it was always a given that the Biden Administration would ramp things up even further when it behooved them.
And now, it would seem that time has officially come.
"This is not about freedom or personal choice," Biden uttered in his remarks, confirming his administration's blatant dismissal of all Americans' right(s) to accept or decline the experimental Covid-19 vaccine.
This is a stunning reversal from Biden's declaration last December that "I don’t think [the vaccine] should be mandatory, I wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory."
In fact, Biden even confirmed his intention to flout states' rights in the process, warning that "If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way."
These are not the words of an "empathetic" leader; these are the words of an aspiring dictator. And, for the time being, the only way to stop Joe Biden's tyranny is through mass noncompliance.
As we've said from the beginning, science, basic logic, and common sense should dictate policy regarding COVID and the Delta variant.
But Joe Biden and the federal government have long abandoned those principles throughout this crisis, culminating into this disturbing yet inevitable flurry of intrusive vaccine mandates that use people's jobs, individual autonomy, and livelihood as leverage.
This assault on our individual rights, private businesses, and American workers cannot be tolerated, and the easiest way to combat these unlawful orders is to just say NO.
Please SIGN and SHARE this most important petition letting Joe Biden know that you will NOT comply with the unconstitutional medical demands being made by this administration, and that action should be taken to block any intrusive action against working Americans and private employers.
Thank you!

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.”
LifeSiteNews has put together a resource guide called “How to resist COVID jab mandates in Canada — a comprehensive guide.”
