Theresa Tam emails reveal unethical medical experiments on Inuit babies
Informed consent ignored as Theresa Tam's team subjects vulnerable children to failed drug trials, without oversight or accountability.
Recently uncovered government emails reveal that the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), led by Dr. Theresa Tam, subjected Inuit babies to experimental drug trials without their, or their parents' consent. The email correspondence, part of a massive 450,000-page disclosure made possible by Bret Sears, exposes a failed pharmaceutical program that ignored ethical standards, raising serious questions about accountability within Canada's public health system.
The experimental drug in question, an RSV monoclonal antibody program, was administered to Inuit infants in Nunavik, an Inuit territory in Quebec, without proper consent or transparency. Despite concerns raised by healthcare workers about the lack of informed consent and the absence of Inuit community involvement in the decision-making process, the program proceeded.
The drug, developed by AstraZeneca, was intended to treat respiratory infections, but internal PHAC emails reveal that the trial was unsuccessful. Not only did it fail to prevent hospitalizations from RSV, but the data from the trial also indicated negative effectiveness.
An email dated December 16, 2019, uncovered by retired police detective and independent investigator Donald Best, reveals that Dr. Tom Wong, the Director General of Population & Public Health at Indigenous Services Canada, admitted the trial’s disappointing outcomes, noting that the program had "little chance" of preventing RSV-related hospitalizations, even at regional and tertiary hospitals.
Worse yet, Wong knew that the experiment had significant ethical concerns among healthcare professionals, with no guarantees of free and informed consent.
The exposure of this trial reveals a disturbing pattern of unethical medical experimentation on Indigenous children in Canada. As further detailed by Best, non-consenting Indigenous children have historically been subjected to medical trials dating back to the 1930s, including harmful tuberculosis vaccine experiments that documented fatalities, and deliberate starvation under the guise of studying malnutrition in the 40s and 50s.
Best has been scrutinizing the released documents and questions whether the actions of Dr. Tam and other public health officials could lead to criminal negligence charges. If it is proven that they were aware of the risks and continued the program without informed consent, he says this could constitute criminal wrongdoing.
Despite the government's recognition of the ethical concerns surrounding the experiment, there has been no accountability for its flawed execution. Even more disturbingly, the failed drug trial did not deter the public health agency from continuing to recommend the same treatment, which they call “expensive.”
The blatant disregard for informed consent and the exploitation of vulnerable Indigenous communities for the benefit of Big Pharma is shocking, with public health officials knowingly proceeding with these experiments and putting innocent babies at risk, all without their knowledge or consent.
Rebel News presented these serious accusations to Canada’s health agency, but they failed to respond for comment.
This breach of ethics and transparency raises critical questions about the integrity of Canada's health authorities. The implications of this report extend beyond the health of Indigenous children—it challenges the very foundations of public health in Canada. How far do these unethical practices extend, and who will ultimately be held accountable for the harm caused?

Wayne Currie commented 2025-03-05 01:11:02 -0500This is a very bad report on our Public Health system. No parental knowledge of this terribly failed experiment on human babies? The 1933 experiment on children where 20 % of them died? And the mid-twentieth century experiment where kids were DELIBERATELY malnourished to view the effects of…WHAT? Starvation? This ranks up there with Josef Mengele’s sadistic experiments. Public Health officials can proceed along such lines only if they have no conscience.
One wonders if they even have a soul. -
Peter Wrenshall commented 2025-03-04 23:11:33 -0500I have always thought of Theresa Tam as a hard-bitten authoritarian with pro-China leanings. But this is so much worse. Tam possesses a stone-cold ends-justifies-the-means attitude that is well along a spectrum at the other end of which is Dr. Josef Mengele. At the very minimum this woman’s medical license should be pulled immediately, but as Tamara Ugolini suggested, she should be the subject of a very serious criminal prosecution.

Darlene Letourneau commented 2025-03-04 15:51:16 -0500Absolutely atrocious! Our government thinks that they are gods, doing whatever they want with impunity! They pit Caucasians and Indigenous people against one another, when they are the true bigots, who treat native people as if they’re are subhuman. They did the same when they gave them the Covid jab first, before anyone else, making it seem so humanitarian, instead of like the genocide that it was. History repeats itself!

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-03-03 19:19:33 -0500This reminds me of the experiments the Nazis performed on disabled children at Hartheim Castle and other medical institutions. This must be exposed and opposed. If we don’t, we’ll be as bad as Nazi doctors who committed atrocities on people considered less than human. This is the bigotry activists must fight, not dead-naming or misgendering somebody.
