Why this petition matters

Started by Sarah Lockie

We are being encouraged to get vaccinated, which is understandable in this situation, however, much of the reason many have not received it this far lies in our uncertainty in the new mRNA technology. At first, there was another vaccine but those proved unsafe. Having an option that is plant based allows us to take a more “natural” stance on this virus, while helping to achieve the overall health of all of Canada’s citizens.

This is where Medicago comes in. By using plants as the active ingredient, they offer a safe and effective alternative that will help calm the fears of those who are worried about the current options. The vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLP) that mimic the shape of the virus and teach the body to recognize it and produce an immune response all while being non-infectious because they contain no viral genetic material.

With fantastic results and passing Stage 2 of the clinical trials, and Stage 3 ongoing since March, 2021, Medicago should be nearing the end of the clinical trials and anticipate being available in the market soon.

We want to be team players, we just need a choice that allows us to feel confident in our choice of vaccine. To feel confident we and our families will be safe and healthy. We are asking to be granted an extension until the Medicago vaccine is available and not be forced into an mRNA vaccine against our will in order to live as equal citizens of our own country.  Please help your citizens to feel comfortable, safe and heard during these uncertain times.
