Key details

Incident Date(s):  February 4, 2022, February 11, 2022 and March 18,  2022 and April 1, 2022

Background:

....  

On February 1, 2022, Mr. Gorodnichy’s Director, Director Data Science also clearly (?) outlined during this bilateral meeting to follow the  established process(?) to voice his concerns (?) about COVID vaccines and to not discuss concerns  (?) of COVID-19 Vaccines at work or publicly that contradicts (?) the Policy on COVID-19  Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian Mounted  Police (Policy). 

On February 4, 2022, Mr. Gorodnichy’s Director reached out to Mr. Gorodnichy to let him  know that he is aware (?) that Mr. Gorodnichy didn’t follow his advice (?) on February 1, 2022 on  not discussing vacation safety in the workplace and asks for clarification as to why he didn’t  follow his advice.  

...

On February 11, 2022, the Director is made aware (?) of other posts from Mr. Gorodnichy on  open sources GCcollab about vaccination safety messages that is contrary (?) to the message that  the Government of Canada (GOC) is promoting, which is that vaccines are safe and efficient.  The Director requests that Mr. Gorodnichy takes down those posts wherein he is using GOC network, devices, or online infrastructure immediately and informs him that he has ccd LR to  determine next steps in addressing this matter. 

On Monday February 14, 2022, Director of Open Canada – Treasury Board Secretariat  (TBS), reaches out to Labour Relations (LR) TBS to inform them that on Friday February 11,  2022 they noticed that Mr. Gorodnichy’s post on the Open Government GCcollab page was  inappropriate (?) for their pages and therefore removed it. They’ve also informed the GCcollab  team as there was a white paper also being promoted on a page owned by Mr. Gorodnichy  and it was also removed for not respecting the terms of use of the GOC platform. 

No other posts seemed to have been posted by Mr. Gorodnichy after February 11, 2022, the  day his Director requested that he takes down his posts. However, on March 18, 2022 Mr.  Gorodnichy posts on GCcollab page an invite to an event with the subject matter being  analyzing vaccine side effects using Data Science, on his personal twitter account he posted  information about COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficiency and on April 1, 2022, another  invite through GCcollab page with the subject matter being special update on new results  from PHAC – analyzing using Spreadsheets and R. 

On April 4, 2022, HXXXX , Director of GCTools, contacted LR TBS who forwarded the  email to AXXXX, A/Manager LR and HR Redress for CBSA to address the matter. It was decided that given the ongoing conduct issue and that Mr. Gorodnichy is not following  the conditions of use of the platform to reset the employee’s password and pulled the post  with the April 8, 2022 workshop invitation. Therefore the employee lost his right to have  access to their account wherein he used a CBSA email address. However, Ms. HXXXX did  indicate that any employee are free to set up and account using a personal email and  participate without representing themselves as a public servant.  

Management, in consultation with LR, gathered the information above and established the  allegations (outlined below under “Allegations”). A notice of investigation and a fact-finding  interview invite was prepared and sent to the employee with an attempt to conduct the fact finding interview/meeting on April 14, 2022. The employee requested more time to prepare  and the fact-finding interview occurred on February [April] 27, 2022. 

...

Allegations 

It is alleged that Mr. Gorodnichy:

Disregarded your management’s expectations outlined in an email from your Director General (DG) dated January 11, 2022 as well as during a bilateral meeting with your Director on February 1, 2022. Your DG clearly outlined (?)  that you were expected to refrain from making comments on social media that may compromise the Agency’s reputation, including comments that may negatively impact your colleagues and members of management. Your Director clearly outlined during your bilateral meeting "to follow the established process to voice your concerns about COVID vaccines" (not sure - contactt office of COI and specific concern - contacting PHAC) and to not discuss concerns of COVID-19 Vaccines at work or publicly that contradicts the Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Policy). On February 11, 2022, you were further asked by your Director via email to take down all posts regarding COVID-19 vaccines using Government of Canada (GOC) network, devices, or online infrastructure which contradicted the Policy. 

It is alleged that you willingly neglected to follow management expectations when posted  information on social media platforms including on Government of Canada platforms.  Specifically, you posted information publicly on COVID-19 vaccination’s safety and  efficiency, although, this may be your personal opinion, this information is contrary to the  message that the Government of Canada is promoting, which is that vaccines are safe and  efficient. These actions are contrary to the objectives and expectations of the Policy on  COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian  Mounted Police, wherein it states that employees are expected (?) to do their part to protect the  health and safety of employees by being fully vaccinated unless accommodated, specifically  the: 

You were found to have posted this information on the following social media platforms: 

• In February 2022, Open Government GCcollab page where you were identified as a  public servant who works at CBSA, you attached the following white paper on a GitHub page  - vitals | Official Canada Vital (Deaths) Statistics, analyzed using Data Science (open canada.github.io). This paper was also promoted on R4GC (Use R!) Community : GCcollab)  and you would have included the following links to this R4GC page:  

• https://youtu.be/4a8ZRipbeRo  - Freedom Convoy – Speech by Army Major Stephen  Chledowski: message against the mandatory vaccines 

• https://youtu.be/zs2AH14oTxM  - Your video from the Freedom Convoy – providing  your analysis on COVID-19 vaccine data stating the GOC’s data shown is  skewed/misleading/not accurate 

• https://ivi-m.github.io/vv/  (with single URL: www.IVIM.ca)  - Source: “Cases  following vaccination, COVID-19 Daily Epidemiology Update” Public Health Agency of Canada – providing your analysis on COVID-19 vaccine data stating the GOC’s data shown  is skewed/misleading/not accurate 

• On February 4, 2022, you invited CBSA colleagues to an event you created which  was a special edition of a weekly Lunch and Learn “Data Science with R” meetup on  GCcollab titled “One Year since Vaccination - what have we learnt – using Open Canada data  and Data Science” discussing COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficiency which raised concerns  from your colleagues. 

• In March 2022, Open Government GCcollab page where you created an event  calendar for March 18, 2022 with the subject matter being analyzing vaccine side effects  using Data Science. 

• On your Twitter account “Dr. Dmitry Gorodnichy” – you posted information about  COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficiency. 

• In April, Open Government GCcollab page where you created an event calendar for  April 1, 2022 with the subject matter being special update on new results from PHAC – analyzed using Spreadsheets and R.

Investigation Findings: 

Complaint received from the Director of Open Government (GCcollab): They felt that the content of the document that was posted on the Open Government  GCcollab page was not appropriate for their pages and therefore removed it. The Director’s  team also informed the GCcollab team of the white paper which was also promoted on Mr.  Gorodnichy’s own page and the GCcollab team also removed the post for not respecting the  terms of use of the GoC platform. The Director flagged this to LR TBS who transmitted the  information to LR CBSA as he felt that this post is counter to the duty of loyalty within the  V&E code. 

Complaint received from the Director of GCTools: 

Because of previous instances raised by TBS, Mr. Gorodnichy’s posts were being monitored  by her team. And they noticed another post they felt contained anti-vaccine content while  representing himself as a GC data scientist. Because the employee was using a government  email and identifying himself as a federal government employee, they pulled the post with the 

April 8 workshop invitation and assessed all the other content the employee has posted.  Because of the ongoing conduct issue, they initiated the password reset because the user is  not following the conditions of use. This means that any employee who has lost that right will  not have access to their account, although they are free to set up another account using a  personal email and participate without representing themselves as a public servant. Mr.  Gorodnichy confirmed in the fact-finding meeting that he has set up a personal account and  continues having those meetings. 

Emails from DG SPB and Director, Data Science wherein they are establishing their  expectations. (?)

Emails from Mr. Gorodnichy wherein he provides an explanation on the information he has  been sharing on social media.

Interviews 

...

Mr. Gorodnichy referred to an email he submitted before the start of the fact-finding meeting  and explained that it provides examples of the results he obtained from the Official  Government of Canada data using the tools [i.e. Shiny App - interactive multi-dimensional visualizations] that he claims he has been developing with  colleagues [ at the R4GC Weekly Lunch and learns] which he shares with the public.  

One example is on excess deaths after vaccination for age group 0-44 and in his opinion it  shows very disturbing statistics for Atlantic and West Provinces and state that the death  tracker app can be found at http://ivim.ca/app.  

The other example is on odd of COVID deaths with boosters vs without boosters, which he  believes that it shows disturbing data and can be found at http://ivim.ca. 

Mr. Gorodnichy believes that the results of his analysis are self-explanatory and that he is not  violating the CBSA Code of Conduct, such as lack of loyalty, compromising Agency’s  reputation, and negatively impacting Colleagues. He believes the allegations are unfounded  and unjust, and that all his efforts show exactly the opposite, they help everyone understand  and make use of official GC data, help them determine what to do for them (to get vaccinated  or not get vaccinated and also which vaccine to choose for themselves), to be healthier and  live longer, while also helping bridge the growing polarization in our society.

Mr. Gorodnichy stated that if management believes that the information he is reposting,  quoting, plotting, computing various functional and performance metrics from officially  published PHAC data, is considered a "violation of the vaccine policy" (i.e. putting "  information that is contrary the message that the Government of Canada is promoting, which  is that vaccines are safe and efficient") or violation of anything else management is alleging  him of, then in his opinion it was PHAC (and StatCan) who violated this policy as they  published numbers that he believes go against the message of the Government of Canada, and  described in his email that these numbers are showing: 

1. that Percentage of cases/hospitalizations/deaths among vaxed goes up and up every  week, since their very first report  

2. that people with 2 and 3 doses die more than those with 1 dose,  
3. that vaccinated catch and spread infection more than unvaccinated,  
4. that 82 % of all covid deaths are people 70+; and people under 40 have very rare  chance of dying from covid but they do get vaccine complications 

5. that half of Canadian provinces had very excess death rate AFTER May 2021 (which  is when the vaccination of general public commenced), higher than that during the  pandemic before vaccination (see image I sent this morning - from www.ivim.ca/app)  

During the fact-finding, Mr. Gorodnichy confirmed that he posted the documents (both white  papers) that management was referring to in their email invite to the fact-finding but added  that he is not the only one that contributed to the information in those documents. He also  confirmed that it is him in the video with the freedom convoy, that he posted on Twitter and  that he organized the events on GCcollab and continues to organize those events. 

Mr. Gorodnichy explained that the reason he is doing these analysis and posting them is to  help the public make informed decisions on which vaccines to get, as in his opinion based on  the analysis he has done some vaccines are a better choice for certain types of people (ex:  AstraZeneca better for younger individuals). It is also to show the “real” results, as he  believes the results shown by PHAC/GOC and the algorithm used is skewed and doesn’t  reflect the reality. Mr. Gorodnichy doesn’t believe his message is contrary to the GOC’s  message, as in his opinion the data shows what it shows, meaning that he never says a  conclusion on whether or not the vaccines are safe and efficient or not safe and not efficient.  What he is trying to say is that the data shown is weak not reflecting the reality and he  believes the public deserves to have results that are not skewed, to get the benefit and  efficiency of each vaccine, the knowledge, so that the public can make an informed decision  on whether or not to get vaccinated and which vaccine to take.  

When asked why he went against the DG’s and Director’s advice regarding posting online  about the vaccination policy, Mr. Gorodnichy responded that the goal of his posts is to help  improve the vaccines by providing not skewed results. He doesn’t state or promote that he is  for or against the vaccines, he stipulates that the information he shows can support or not  support the use of vaccines, the results shows what it shows and it depends on what time of 

the year (pre-vaccines, October vaccines vs Feb/March vaccines, etc doesn’t have the same  results as he believes the vaccines may be improving or not improving). What he is trying to  do is show the accurate information as he believes the GoC is not showing the accurate data.  

Furthermore, for the lunch and learns that he has been scheduling while at work and after he  was placed on LWOP, Mr. Gorodnichy explains that he had asked DG the  permission/support to do those with the objective to have a safe place for  employees/colleagues to share their minor side effects related to the vaccines and show them  how to report these minor side effects to the government so they can improve the vaccines.  

He states that his intent when posting the data and having those lunch and learns was to help  the government/institution to improve the vaccine, and help the public make informed  decisions on whether or not to take the vaccines/which vaccines based on his data analysis  that he believes is more accurate/not skewed. Mr. Gorodnichy doesn’t believe his messaging  is contrary to the message that the Government of Canada is promoting, which is that  vaccines are safe and efficient. He believes he is showing the truth based on his analysis  whether it is showing that a certain vaccine is more/less efficient than another vaccine for  some demographic category.

Analysis and Conclusion: 

While each incident in isolation may not suggest violation of values of ethics, the cumulative  nature of Dmitry’s action highlight an increasingly deliberate, persistent, growing patterns of  questioning the vaccine safety and efficacy, which goes against the messaging of the  government of Canada covid-19 vaccine policy and messaging, which is that vaccines are  safe and efficient. 

Even after repeated demands to remove messages on vaccine safety and efficacy, Dmitry  continued to post these messages and hold meetings to discuss vaccine efficacy and safety  publically, often using GoC digital infrastructure. 

Although the employee says that he disputes the above assessment, that he is not posting  information that goes against the GoC messaging, the evidence as outlined above (e.g.,  removal of his message on GC collab, complaints from staff) suggests otherwise

In conclusion, based on the analysis of the evidence, the allegation that the employee  willingly neglected to follow management expectations as outlined above, and willingly posting information on social media platforms including on Government of Canada platforms  on COVID-19 vaccination’s safety and efficiency, that is contrary to the message that the  Government of Canada is promoting is founded. 

2022-10-12: The discipline letter

This letter is further to the findings of the administrative investigation into allegations of misconduct, 

which determined that improper conduct on your part had occurred and further to the pre-disciplinary 

meeting held on August 3, 2022, the purpose of this letter is to render my disciplinary decision.

It was determined that the allegation of misconduct, specifically that you willingly neglected to follow 

management expectations, and willingly posted information that is contrary to the message that the 

Government of Canada is promoting, on social media platforms including Government of Canada 

platforms, on COVID-19 vaccination’s safety and efficiency was founded. Your actions were found to 

contravened the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service (Integrity, Excellence and Respect for 

Democracy) and the CBSA Code of Conduct (Chapter 1: Our Values (Respect, Professionalism and 

Integrity), C – Leadership Conduct and D – Expected Standards of Conduct (3. Social Media, 4. 

Private, Off-Duty Conduct and Outside Activities, 5.2 Public Criticism of the CBSA and/or Government 

of Canada, 6. Electronic Network Access and Uses and 12. Neglect of Duty).

In determining an appropriate disciplinary measure, I considered all mitigating and aggravating factors, 

including that you cooperated and have been forthcoming throughout the investigative process, that you 

have a clear disciplinary record and delays in the process. However, I have also taken into account your 

repeated unwillingness (?) to stop posting the information on social media even after being provided with 

clear (?) expectations (?), and your lack of remorse and recognition (??) that your posts are not in line (??) with the 

Government of Canada’s messaging. However, on September 9, 2022, you have assured me that you 

have taken down all posts and will not be posting these types of posts in the future, therefore, I also 

taken this into account. 

Therefore, in accordance with the authorities delegated to me under Section 12(1)(c) of the Financial 

Administration Act, I have decided that a 5-day suspension without pay is an appropriate disciplinary 

measure. The date of your suspension will be from October 31th to November 4th 2022. In addition, 

you are required to take training Navigating Social Media as a Public Servant (TRN125) which is 

offered via the Canada School of Public Service. 

 
Subject to and as provided in Section 208 of the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act, an 

employee who feels that he or she has been treated unfairly or considers himself or herself aggrieved by 

any action or lack of action by the employer is entitled to present a grievance no later than twenty-fifth 

(25th) day after the date on which he or she is notified orally or in writing or on which he or she first 

becomes aware of the action or circumstances giving rise to the grievance.

Be advised that a copy of this letter will be placed on your personnel file for the period corresponding to 

Article 38.04 your collective agreement unless subsequent disciplinary action is taken. In accordance 

with your collective agreement any document or written statement related to disciplinary action placed 

on the personnel file of an employee shall be destroyed after 2 years have elapsed since the disciplinary 

action was taken, provided that no further disciplinary action has been recorded during this period. This 

period will automatically be extended by the length of any period of leave without pay.

Lastly, I would like to clearly articulate that my expectations from this day forward are that if you wish to 

post information, comments, videos, other authors’ posts and/or videos that contain information that
may be contrary to, or not in line with, either the CBSA’s or any of the Government of Canada’s policy, 

procedures or messaging, that you must seek management’s and/or the CBSA Office of Values and 

Ethics guidance prior to posting such information on any social media platform, including, but not 

limited to, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, blogs, Wikipedia, Instagram, Google docs or any other 

tool or device that allows for participatory multi-way information sharing, dialogue and user generated 

content.

In appreciation of the stress caused by these circumstances, I want to remind you of the availability of 

our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) should you require their support and guidance. The external 

service provider, LifeWorks may be reached 24/7 at 1 877 367 0809 or TTY, for hearing impaired: 1 877 338 0275.

Summary 

• I used all democratic and professional tools available to me at the time to express concerns arising from these observations. This included an Open Letter to the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, Dr. Mona Nemer; a submission to the Office of the Auditor General; attempts to file a complaint with the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner; inviting other data scientists to validate the data and the concerning observations, and collectively discussing how to address these issues in a climate of fear of reprisal.
• My actions were guided by the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service, by good faith, and by conscience. The urgency arose from rising mortality starting with vaccination, in particular among younger Canadians — trends that were later acknowledged by Health Canada, nine months after the fact. I understood that timely access to factual public information could save lives and reduce the risk of preventable harm associated with new medical products that lacked long-term post-marketing data.

• Firstly, by that time, with 20+ years in public service, I was one of the most renown and referenced data scientists within the Government of Canada, exactly in the field of vendor product evaluation and data analysis. I was also well known within my Agency and Government networks for my contributions to the community:  leading weekly Lunch-n-Learn seminars, workshops in the field of data analysis, contributing to many social events.
• Secondly, I have already done that before -  just before the pandemic - I helped many colleagues (in my Agency and later in other agencies) to vocalize many of their concerns related to culture in their units - similarly using Open Canada data. In that case it was  Public Service Employee Survey data , which I helped analyze using advanced interactive  data visualization tools.
• Finally, I was also guided by personal experience. During the Chernobyl disaster, I was a child in grade 8 in Kyiv, and I remember how my parents saved me—and many other children —by defying official narratives that claimed everything was safe, facing threats of punishment for non-compliance. My father, a physicist, had access to a Geiger counter and used it to measure radiation levels in school playgrounds, just as I now use my data-analysis tools and professional position to measure and communicate risks affecting the safety of my own children’s generation.

• KEY FINDINGS  / CONCERNS
  
  

  1. ANALYSIS OF OFFICIAL Cases Following Vaccination PHAC DATA. - See also Images below and https://sites.google.com/view/open-canada (shortcut: ivim.ca/o )
     • No evidence to support claims that vaccine stops transmission or significantly reduces covid deaths
     • Starting from Omicron (October 2021) the rate of infected or deceased with Covid for vaccinated goes up

• 2. Evidence of using Data manipulation techniques (Algorithmic bias)by PHAC that skew the results in favour of vaccinated 

• Data log: PHAC "Cases Following Vaccination" data log (googlesheet)  
• Summaries of findings:
  • Reported “Cases Following Vaccination” statistics are skewed ("Adjusted") to Support a Political Narrative of Vaccine Effectiveness, When the Actual Unskewed Data Showed the Opposite : https://en.gorodnichy.ca/evidence/data-skewing-by-phac
  • More detail: https://sites.google.com/view/open-canada/dashboard/cases-following-vaccination
    
    

• 3. Analysis of StatsCan "Vital Statistics" data 
     • Evidence of increased mortality among young and deaths with unknown causes correlated with beginning of COVID-19 vaccination. 
     • Publication of this  insight on Health Canada was delayed by nine month, with no mentioning  of vaccine  side-effects

• 4. UK Vital Statistics data for persons (0-24)
     • UK Official Data shows that  Covid-19 infection did not result in more deaths among children, but vaccination did.
       
       
  5. Anecdotal reports of side effects following covid-19 vaccination: personal medical data and reported in news
     
     
  6. Anecdotal evidence of  obstacles to report side-effects covid-19 vaccination
     
     
  7. Anecdotal evidence of suppressing discussions of any concerns related to covid-19 vaccine data - including those raised by one of the most prominent GC  data scientists who dedicated his career to evaluation of vendor systems using data
     
     
  8. Wide-spread Evidence of Foreign and Corporate Influence on Canadian Health Policy  Undermining Canadian National Interests and Constitutional Rights: https://en.gorodnichy.ca/evidence/foreign-corporate-influence  
     
     
• Grievor's action to address concerns:

  1. Alerting his management: DG and Director (multiple times) - declined to view it
  2. Requesting updated 'COVID-19 training" that would include post-marketing data that has become available (which is from AUG 2021). Original  'COVID-19 training", which was simply a prerecorded promotional video, was made prior to the date when  post-marketing data that has become available in Canada
  3. Requesting and developing a safe place at work to discuss concerns related to vaccines and provide assistance in reporting side-effects via Health Canada website
     • Developed page and guidance on how to report covid vaccine side-effects on Health Canada portal using personal medical data  (in the absence of direct link and such guidance on official pages)
  4. Engaging other data scientists within Public Sector (CBSA & GCCollab networks) to validate concerning observations: 
  5. Open Letter to Chief Science Advisor of Canada: https://ivim.substack.com/p/open-letter-to-chief-science-advisor - no response
  6. Submission to Office of Auditor General: https://ivim.substack.com/p/submission-to-office-of-auditor-general - no response
  7. Attempts to file a complaint with the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner  - unsuccessful due to submission system constraints (The portal requires the name or the unit to whom the complaint is directed to, which in this case.

Data Evidence
"Those Beautiful Interactive Multi-dimensional Visualizations" (aka Web Apps)

These Data Evidence was obtained by the Grievor and his colleagues from official sources.
Grievor brought it forward for discussion with his management (on 25 Jan, follow-up on Feb 1, 2022).
The management declined to discuss it, advised (orally) not discuss any vaccine related data with anyone, leading to discipline for going against "clear management instructions" several months later.

#2. Use of data skewing technique (algorithmic bias) by PHAC in reporting "Cases following vaccination statistics

PHAC used algorithmic bias technique that skewed the displayed statistics considerably (by over two orders of magnitude) in favour of people who have received more vaccine doses by reporting the number of cases  starting from the date when COVID-19 vaccines were approved in Canada for high-risk population  (14 DEC 2020) and not from the time when vaccine doses were actually administered to different populations

The actual weekly statistics never showed that COVID-19 vaccines significantly reduced the risk of being infected and/or having complications from COVID-19. Furthermore, the weekly statistics showed that starting from Omicron  COVID-19 was affecting vaccinated people increasingly more than unvaccinated and  partially unvaccinated people.

Average age of people who died from covid is over 80 y/a - close to average life expectancy. Young people have a tiny chance of dying from covid (Source:  'COVID-19 Daily Epidemiology Update', Public Health Agency of Canada  - Figure 4 )

Union's position

The following issues are of low priority to the Union, based on the prioritization or proposed resolutions at the National 2024 PIPSC AGM:

• Medical Privacy and Bodily Autonomy 

• Vaccination Mandate Impact 

• High Fear of Reprisal Among Professionals Working on Policies Affecting All Canadians 

• Transparency and update related to PIPSC Statement supporting mandatory vaccinations
