Among the many topics mentioned in this volume, I was revealing the ineffectiveness and dangers of vaccination. At that time, I was a practicing physician in Quebec, Canada and the owner of numerous medical clinics. Because of my professional status, my words weighed significantly in the public eye. The Medical Board's reaction was immediate and strong. Its leaders demanded that I resign as a physician. I answered that I would do so as long as they could prove that what I had written was false. The Medical Board replied with a call for my expulsion. Ghislaine Lanctot" .
