A Saskatoon physician psychotherapist wrote an open letter to the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) advising them of her refusal to give the COVID-19 vaccine to those pregnant or under 30 years of age..The letter by Dr. Esther Stenberg was posted to the 5,400-member Freedom Alliance Facebook group by her “long-time friend” Patti Lindgren. Lindgren calls Stenberg an “elder” which she defines as an “experienced, wise and trustworthy spiritual counsel for the ‘village.’.“Please have a read. If you have children or grandchildren, are wanting to have a child, are pregnant or breastfeeding…hell, if you’re alive…what Esther points to is incredibly important,” Lindgren wrote. .The letter reads as follows:.In the news release by the SMA on August 11, 2021, SMA president Dr. Eben Strydom said “COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe and effective, and they provide a sure path out of the pandemic”..I was taken aback by the fact that he stated that, at this time. To prove something is safe means you can prove that it does no harm. It is not the case with any of the COVID vaccines. There have been many reported serious adverse effects from Pfizer, Moderna and AstroZeneca CV-19 vaccinations in Canada and around the world including myocarditis and death. .When government websites and physicians state that the vaccines are proven safe, there is a loss of credibility and trust by those who have been tracking the information on COVID..Since the pharmaceutical companies are protected from liability concerning the vaccines, the responsibility, and therefore, liability falls directly on the medical professionals who are making top-down decisions and directing that people be vaccinated..In the case of 13-16-year-olds, the liability falls directly on the pharmacists and nurses as well if they deem that the child is capable of giving informed consent, should the child arrive without consent from a parent. How many children have been informed of the serious adverse effects of the vaccine?.When I have asked a few physicians, nurses and others if they knew that the vaccines were initially authorized for emergency use only, now termed “approved by Interim order”, they are surprised and say “No.” In my opinion, such information should be included in obtaining informed consent..I have grave concerns about the long term adverse effects of the COVID vaccines on children, and the younger they are, the more concern I have about the potential for lifelong debilitating effects and shortened life span..In speaking with a friend of mine who is 60 years+ old, she said that if she gets any long term adverse effects, she will probably see it as part of aging and can accept the possible shortened life span because of the current benefits of being double vaccinated. I have yet to hear such a statement from a 30 year old or a 20 year old or a parent referring to any of their children. I doubt that I ever will unless the person is logic-dead-terrified of getting Covid..In all conscience, knowing what I know from the scientific literature and the non-confidence-inspiring research on children, I cannot and will not be advising pregnant or breastfeeding Moms or anyone less than age 30, to get the vaccine. .The letter was received positively by retired Moose Jaw nurse Cornelia Hordyk..“Thank you for speaking and standing for the truth,” Hordyck wrote. “[I’ve read] the literature coming from the likes of the inventors of the mRNA inoculation. There are thousands of researchers and physicians sounding the alarm. I am a retired RN and am very concerned about what the future holds for those who took the jab. However it is so hard to convince those who have drunk the Koolaid (sic) and trust the government!”.Lee Harding is a Western Standard correspondent living in Saskatchewan.
