Canada’s Vaccine Injury Program: A $50 Million Betrayal of the COVID Jab-Injured
When the Canadian government, backed by mainstream media like Global News, pressured citizens to take experimental COVID-19 shots in the name of the “greater good,” it assured the public that those harmed would be cared for.
But nearly five years later, the very program meant to support vaccine-injured Canadians — the Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) — stands as yet another broken promise. A Global News investigation has exposed a shocking reality: Canadians who trusted the government’s assurances, and took the jabs under relentless coercion, have been abandoned by the very system that claimed it would protect them.
The Numbers Tell the Story of Corruption
The Public Health Agency of Canada‘s VISP was funded with over $50 million in taxpayer dollars. But instead of delivering help to injured Canadians, over $33 million has been swallowed by administrative costs — handed to Oxaro Inc. (formerly Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton), the private firm the government outsourced this responsibility to.
And what did the injured receive? A mere $17 million — crumbs — to compensate for deaths, permanent disabilities and destroyed lives.
While the government and media downplayed or denied risks, Canadians like Stephen MacDougall paid the ultimate price. A healthy 45-year-old husband and father, Stephen died from myopericarditis (inflammation of his heart muscle and the lining) following the shots. While calling people “anti-vaxxers,” his wife Kimberly now describes the nightmare of watching him die and being abandoned by the government that promised care.
Others—including former pilot Ross Wightman, who developed Guillain–Barré syndrome and can no longer work or fly; social worker Shannon Dupont, left with stroke, Bell’s palsy, vision loss, and autoimmune issues; kindergarten assistant Kayla Pollock, wheelchair-bound due to transverse myelitis and struggling to survive was offered MAiD; B.C. teacher and mother of four Becky Marie Campbell, hospitalized with severe neurological injuries; Mike Becker, left with blood clots, chronic pain and permanent leg damage; and teenager Sean Hartman, who tragically died suddenly and alone in his bedroom days after vaccination—have had their lives irreversibly altered or ended. This is just a small sampling of the thousands of Canadians injured or killed by the experimental mRNA gene therapy shots.
These Canadians stepped forward under government and media pressure, trusting the promise of safety and support. Instead, they and their families have been ignored—forced to fundraise for basic needs while Ottawa stalls or denies their VISP claims.
Endless Delays, Zero Accountability
VISP was supposed to process a few dozen claims per year. But reality shattered those projections, with over 3,000 claims flooding in (likely just a small percentage of the reality of injuries). More than 1,700 injured Canadians are still waiting — some for years — as they battle a system insiders describe as chaotic, unprepared and broken.
Applicants are subjected to endless red tape, unreachable case managers and decisions made by doctors they’ve never met. And while the government boasts about supporting Canadians, the truth is clear: those who answered the call to “do their part” were left to fend for themselves.
A Program Built to Fail
Canada had decades to create a functioning vaccine injury program. Instead, it rushed one together in the middle of a crisis — not to protect people, but to protect its own narrative. And now the injured are paying the price.
Health Minister Marjorie Michel’s vague promise to “look at all options” is no comfort to the families already bankrupted, disabled or grieving their dead.
We Demand Justice
At Children’s Health Defense Canada, we stand with the vax-injured — not with the bureaucrats and corporations profiting off their suffering. The Canadian people deserve the truth, real accountability and meaningful support for those harmed by the COVID-19 shots they were misled and pressured to take.
This is not just a tragedy — it is a travesty of justice, a betrayal by the Canadian government that demands immediate accountability and real support for all those harmed by the COVID-19 vaccines.
TAKE ACTION
Contact your representatives HERE. Urge them to call on the new Health Minister Marjorie Michel, Health Canada and PHAC to address this travesty, as well as HALT THE COVID SHOTS immediately.
