Covid-19 Vaccine Casualties and Wounds | Canadian Administration Allocates $56 Million to Oxaro for Compensation Claims | $16 Million Disbursed to Victims, With $40 Million Expended by Oxaro
In a surprising turn of events, Anita Krishna, a former producer and newsroom director at Global News, was fired in 2022 for asking questions about the media's role in the COVID-19 response. Krishna's comments suggest that she is highly critical of Global News' coverage of the COVID-19 vaccine and its aftermath, particularly their three-part series about Canada's Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP).
Krishna's YouTube channel, The Anita Krishna Show, features her commentary on the Global News vaccine injury series. In a recent episode, she criticized the series for focusing on the program's inadequacies without addressing the media's role in fear-mongering about COVID-19.
The investigation centres on how VISP, designed as a no-fault compensation system, failed many claimants due to underestimated injury numbers and poor program administration. This has led some to sue governments and manufacturers instead. While this exposes government shortcomings, it implicitly shifts the narrative away from questioning vaccination strategies themselves or examining why communication and support systems faltered during the pandemic response.
The government spent $6 billion on developing, procuring, and distributing the COVID-19 vaccine, but has only managed to pay out $16 million in compensation. One case in point is a widow who lost her 45-year-old husband to the clot shot, having to wait years for compensation and receiving only three years' worth of her late husband's salary.
Another individual, paralyzed from the waist down since the third booster shot, has not received any compensation and has lost custody of their child. The injured are reportedly afraid of being labeled as "anti-vaxxers" if they speak up.
Health Canada expected only 40 claims a year, but is now receiving thousands due to strict, confusing, and slow criteria for applying. The government has given Oxaro, a company hired by Health Canada, $56 million, of which only $16 million has been paid out to the injured.
Oxaro's inexperienced staff are accused of spending office time socializing, watching YouTube, streaming Netflix, playing ping-pong, and consuming alcoholic beverages on Fridays. One case worker at Oxaro told a claimant that they did not have to get the vaccine.
Critics and affected patients outside the investigative scope argue that the media often frames vaccine injuries as rare and dismisses patient experiences, contributing to a distorted narrative that undermines trust in public health without fostering a transparent inquiry into vaccine safety and governmental accountability.
Anita Krishna's comments echo the position that the series acknowledges some of the side effects of the COVID shots, but redirects public outrage away from the media, medical system, and government. Krishna believes that the series is a distraction from the hard-hitting questions about the government, media, and medical system's role in the COVID-19 response.
Krishna's comments indicate that she was fired for questioning the media's role in the COVID-19 response, adding another layer to the controversy surrounding Global News' vaccine injury series. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether it will lead to a broader public debate on vaccination policy, government decision-making, and media's role in information dissemination and public trust.
