Trudeau gets COVID-19 vaccinated again, sort of...

And he exploits a toddler flu death to promote risky co-administration misinformation

Canada’s fearless leader and (dis)honourable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to X (formerly Twitter) to pledge his allegiance to BigPharma last week.

Donning a shirt that says “VACCINES CAUSE ADULTS” he shamelessly promoted the reckless idea of coadministration – that is, that receiving your flu shot with a seasonal COVID-19 booster is safe.

“Got my COVID-19 booster and flu shot this morning. You should get yours, too,” he shared on X. Before using the hashtag #ForJudeForEveryone, which is a throw to the story of a toddler named Jude.

The hashtag came about after the profoundly devastating and heart-wrenching loss of Jude McGee who tragically passed away in 2016, following complications of Influenza B, as determined by a pathologist.

But Jude was vaccinated, and he succumbed to flu complications a mere few months after he received his flu shot.

“Doctors confirmed that Jude had died from a strain of influenza B,” an article from the CBC at the time reads, even though his shot “covered four strains of influenza, including the strain Jude contracted.”

Yet since that time, his mother, Jill Promoli, has taken to publicly advocate everyone receive vaccines – because the ones she administered to her children didn’t work.

Thus began her vendetta to see every man, woman and child vaccinated with the flu shots.

Make it make sense.

Promoli is a Mississauga-based photographer and schoolboard trustee who promotes vaccines through “public health advocacy.” Unsurprisingly, she also has political aspirations with the Liberals.

She is also known for seizing the opportunity to feature her children in an emotionally evocative video for Trudeau’s 2019 virtue-signalling climate alarmism campaign.  

In 2019 Promoli also delegated at the same Toronto Board of Health (TBH) hearing I participated in.

In September 2019 the TBH – which directs and oversees Canada’s largest public health unit, Toronto Public Health – was discussing strategies to “address vaccine hesitancy.”

One of the strategies was removing conscience and religious exemptions from the Immunization of School Pupils Act, an Ontario-specific piece of legislation that requires children to get vaccinated with routine childhood shots OR to have a religious, medical, or conscience exemption on file to attend school.

(It’s a loophole-ridden piece of legislation that many parents have opted not to comply with in recent years – perhaps my next Substack post?)

Promoli recounted the story of Jude and how he became infected following the circulation of a flu that swept through his sister's class. Of course, the school-attending sibling was also fully vaccinated.

Promoli says that flu vaccination coverage “wasn’t high enough to stop the disease from spreading in her community and reaching him.” For this, she advocates for the removal of religious and conscience exemptions for Ontario children to attend publicly funded schools.

This interweaving of personal tragedy and political agendas presents a complex and concerning narrative around vaccine advocacy, and subsequently hesitancy.

It also makes it increasingly apparent that the incessant push for vaccination has been more about political science, than evidence-based science, even in the pre-pandemic days.

What do you make of Promoli’s advocacy work? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
