The Allison Inquiry - Additional Testimonials on Day 3
-------------------------------
What did Ken Drysdale (an engineer and lead author of the National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) report.) say on day 3 of the inquiry?
During his testimony on Day 3 (September 10, 2026) of the Allison Inquiry, Ken Drysdale focused primarily on synthesizing the findings and methodology of the citizen-led National Citizens Inquiry (NCI).
Key points covered in his testimony include:
Scope and Structure of the NCI: He outlined how the citizen-funded NCI held hearings across eight Canadian cities, collecting sworn testimonies from 333 witnesses—including citizens, medical professionals, and expert researchers—which yielded over 5,000 pages of evidence and 300 policy recommendations.
Witness Intimidation and Atmosphere of Fear: Drysdale detailed the climate of fear surrounding the hearings.
He noted that numerous witnesses faced significant pressure, intimidation, venue cancellations, or social and professional fallout, leading some to withdraw out of fear of family exclusion or financial retaliation. Regulatory Oversight Concerns: He highlighted concerns regarding regulatory modifications made to Canada's Food and Drug Regulations.
He argued that changes made to the drug approval process rendered safety and efficacy evaluations overly subjective, creating potential conflicts of interest. Impact of Lockdowns and Mandates: He discussed witness accounts detailing the broader societal harms of pandemic policies, such as the isolation and health deterioration of seniors during lockdowns, as well as the impact of vaccine mandates and injuries.
The National Citizens Archive & Recommendations: He introduced the National Citizens Archive—a searchable repository containing video testimonies and transcriptions meant to serve as a resource for researchers and lawmakers.
He advocated for restoring strict, objective evidence standards for future drug approvals and reinstating protections for informed consent.

What did Deanna McLeod (a medical researcher and founder of Toronto-based Kaleidoscope Strategies Inc.) say on day 3 of the Allison inquiry?
During her testimony on Day 3 (September 10, 2026) of the Allison Inquiry, medical researcher Deanna McLeod focused her presentation on analyzing how standard medical protocols, safety oversight, and informed consent shifted under pandemic-era emergency management.
Key points from her testimony include:
Shift in Medical Ethics and Patient Care: McLeod presented evidence arguing that standard clinical protocols were fundamentally altered during the COVID-19 response.
She highlighted how medical decision-making shifted from prioritizing individual patient care and customized medical needs toward collective public health directives. Public Health and Commercial Alignment: She asserted that the urgency surrounding the mass vaccination campaign compromised normal independent safety evaluation pathways and standard informed consent procedures.
In her analysis, she stated that "public health became the [pharmaceutical companies'] marketing arm," arguing that regulatory agencies effectively promoted products rather than maintaining strict, neutral oversight. Evaluation of Clinical Trials and Regulatory Review: Drawing on her experience in medical research and regulatory strategy, McLeod examined the differences between traditional long-term clinical trials and the expedited, rolling reviews used to authorize emergency vaccines.
She raised concerns over how trial data was gathered, reviewed, and communicated to both healthcare professionals and the public.

What did Helen Grus (a detective with the Ottawa Police Service) have to say on day 3 of the Allison Inquiry?
During her testimony on Day 3 (September 10, 2026) of the Allison Inquiry, Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus testified about her investigation into a sudden spike in unexplained infant deaths in Ottawa and the professional fallout she subsequently faced.
Key highlights from her testimony include:
Observation of an Infant Death Spike: Grus testified that in January 2022, she was alerted by a colleague in the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse (SACA) unit to an unusual increase in unexplained infant deaths.
Upon querying Ottawa Police Service records, she identified six unexplained infant deaths, compared to a typical baseline of two or three per year. Concerns Over Investigative Procedures: She testified that her review of the cases raised concerns that standard investigative procedures—such as questionnaires used in sudden unexpected infant death investigations—had not been fully completed, with at least one case being concluded prior to the arrival of autopsy results.
Inquiry into Vaccine Status: Grus noted that while she was trying to gather data on the COVID-19 vaccination status of the mothers, she was not drawing definitive conclusions about the cause of death.
She recalled explaining to senior officials that she was simply noting an increase that warranted a complete investigation. Suspension and Disciplinary Proceedings: She detailed the professional ramifications of her inquiries, including her suspension in February 2022, followed by a long police disciplinary tribunal process where she was found guilty of discreditable conduct for conducting an unauthorized investigation, leading to a temporary demotion.
Call for Dialogue: Grus expressed that she holds no anger toward colleagues involved in the process.
She shared that upon returning from suspension in October 2022, she asked police executives if they could sit down to discuss the matter, a request that was declined, though she maintains that open communication remains her goal.

She recounted the trajectory of his health issues following the injections, which led to multiple hospitalizations and severe cardiovascular strain before his death. Concerns Over Medical Ethics and Oversight: Drawing on her background as a practicing physician, Dr. Luchkiw addressed broader issues surrounding medical informed consent, regulatory oversight, and the professional pressure faced by healthcare workers who voiced concerns about post-vaccination adverse events during the pandemic response.
