FOI Data Reveals What BC Officials Knew About Vaccine Harms, Didn't Tell Public - Lex Acker Report
In March 2021, BC’s Provincial Health Officer, the public face of BC’s COVID-19 response, Dr. Bonnie Henry received internal reports showing alarming adverse event rates — but told the public something entirely different.
This video breaks down the evidence of fraud, data manipulation, and conscious deception exposed through over 1,300 pages of FOI data. Discover how Freedom of Information data exposes contradictions between Bonnie Henry’s private knowledge and public statements on vaccine safety.
Key revelations:
Internal vs public BCCDC reports show a 75% discrepancy in adverse event reporting.
Women suffered the majority of vaccine harms (76%).
Some vaccine lots were 60–80 times more dangerous than flu shots.
Officials curtailed distribution of the worst lots — proving knowledge of harm.
Thousands of internal emails about “toxic” lots reveal hidden panic.
Bonnie Henry admitted reactions were “not uncommon,” meaning risks exceeded benefits.

Host:
Last week, Lex, you did a deep dive into the Freedom of Information data secured by Lee Turner. What you discovered about what Bonnie Henry knew — and when she knew it — is pretty damning. Could you give us the highlights?
Lex:
It was a huge project, more than 30 pages. The FOI request contained over 1,300 pages on adverse effects following immunization (AEFIs), released in June 2024.
What stood out is the difference between public-facing and internal BCCDC reports. Public reports reassured the public that adverse events were “very rare” and the vaccines were “safe and effective.” But internal reports told a completely different story. The definition of “serious adverse events” was narrowed in public reports, which excluded about 75% of cases. That’s fraud — the same trick was also used by the U.S. CDC.
On March 15, 2021, Bonnie Henry received an internal AEFI report in the morning. That afternoon, she gave a press conference making statements that directly contradicted the data she had in hand. I analyzed 20 of her statements, showing she knowingly misled the public.
Another key finding: women were disproportionately affected — about 76% of reported adverse effects. Both Canadian and U.S. data show the same pattern.
When comparing vaccines to the flu shot, the difference is staggering. The historic AEFI rate for flu shots is about 6 per 100,000 doses. But some COVID-19 vaccine lots showed 60 to 80 times higher rates, with one Moderna lot hitting 416 per 100,000 doses. Despite this, distribution continued until the most harmful lots were quietly curtailed — clear evidence officials knew about the harm.
Freedom of Information requests also revealed thousands of internal emails about these “toxic” vaccine lots. In some cases, up to 7,000 emails were tied to a single lot distributed to just 20,000 people — raising the question: why so much communication if the product was safe?
The bottom line:
Officials had knowledge of harm.
They contradicted their own data in public.
They adjusted distribution quietly to limit the worst lots.
Bonnie Henry herself admitted reactions were “not uncommon,” which by medical definition means at least 1% of recipients. At that rate, the risks outweighed the benefits.
This is compelling evidence of conscious deception — and, in my view, criminal behavior.
