At no point in the email did she mention COVID-19 vaccines..READ MORE: Lewis speaks about Nuremberg Code, warns of 'reckoning'.In response to Aitchison's Tweet, Lewis said she didn't expect to be called a racist by a fellow leadership candidate.."As an international lawyer, I look at the Nuremberg Code as an important legal document, and as a free Canadian, I believe it is my duty to speak up when we even come close to breaking any of the ten principles enshrined in it," she said..Lewis said it was Aitchison was spreading "disinformation," as she never mentioned COVID in her letter about the 10 principles of the Nuremberg Code. She instead focused on recent governmental human experiments committed against disabled, black, and indigenous people..Lewis said Aitchison diminished her existence as a black women who has experienced racism, and that he is the "only candidate who has ever been disrespectful and rude to me publicly on multiple occasions.".Aitchison and Lewis have previously clashed about the legitimacy of "conspiracy theories."."Now, Scott has embarked on a divisive campaign to silence and cancel my voice by labeling me an anti-Semite and a racist for his own political gain," Lewis said.."The human experiment conducted on indigenous peoples in Canada should never be forgotten. We should not pretend that politicians and government leaders have evolved past the point that we never need to worry about this happening again.".This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
