Canadian Politician is Okay That People With Immunity Against SARS-CoV-2 Are Being Denied Transplants
Profound Insensitivity Demonstrated by Mr. Charlie Angus, MP for the NDP
It has been 769 days since my university’s administration banned me from accessing my office and laboratory.

Update on Sept. 1, 2023: It has been brought to my attention that Mr. Charlie Angus took down his initial post about Ms. Sheila Lewis only to double-down on his messaging in a series of somewhat toned down posts. I was unable to locate an email address for Mr. Angus, nor do I use social media. So, I could only submit a media interview request via his official political website. I submitted this…
“Dear Mr. Charlie Angus,
I am a Canadian Associate Professor of viral immunology that specializes in vaccinology. It was with great concern that I read your comments on social media regarding the death of Ms. Sheila Annette Lewis. Your commentary demonstrates a lack of understanding of where the weight of the primary scientific data lie with respect to a person with robust immunity against SARS-CoV-2 being denied a transplant. I published a Substack article to correct your misinformation...

My offer at the end of the article to chat with you so you can have a better understanding of COVID-19 and how it relates to the immune system still stands. I have provided you with my personal cell phone #. Please feel free to call me at any time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Byram W. Bridle“
I recently wrote an article about the tragic death of Ms. Sheila Annette Lewis, who was wonderful woman of integrity and courage. Despite having robust immunity against SARS-CoV-2, which is the causative agent of COVID-19, she was denied a life-saving transplant because her immune response was not induced by experimental shots. And these shots are known to induce poorer immune responses compared to Ms. Lewis’s naturally acquired immunity. Her removal from the transplant waiting list was nonsensical; for this and many other reasons.
So, I was horrified by what I saw today…
Mr. Charlie Angus is a federal member of Canada’s parliament for the Timmins - James Bay riding…
He is a member of the federal New Democratic Party, which is led by Mr. Jagmeet Singh. This is what Mr. Angus posted on social media about the death of Ms. Sheila Annette Lewis…
Ms. Lewis’s family and friends should never have had to be exposed to this! And from a federal member of parliament no less. For those outside Canada, the New Democratic Party, that Mr. Angus represents, formed a coalition with our Liberal government to prop up prime minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau has made it abundantly clear that he hates people like Ms. Lewis and anyone who shares her perspectives.
Shame on Mr. Angus for his inappropriate and unprofessional behaviour. There should be no place for this lack of empathy. Mr. Angus has essentially told the world that Ms. Lewis deserved to die because she had superior naturally acquired immunity instead of the sub-par immunity conferred by COVID-19 shots.
Mr. Angus, my personal, expert, and professional opinion is that this messaging from you is a disgrace and an embarrassment for all Canadians on the world stage. You have disclosed the way you feel about a large number of people in Canada. There should be no place for people who carry this point of view in Canadian politics. Canadians need to be unified, not further divided via the promotion of hatred and disdain.
And, Mr. Angus, what qualifications do you have that make you feel qualified to accuse Ms. Lewis of fighting for “disinformation” (you didn’t even tone this down to an accusation of ‘misinformation’! You have implied ill intent here.), “anti-vaxx” messaging, and “conspiracy”. Where is your evidence to support these harsh and defamatory accusations? Can you share any primary scientific evidence and show that it is both valid and overwhelming? Or might you have formulated an opinion based on hearsay evidence that you are unqualified to judge?
Mr. Angus, as an expert viral immunologist who specializes in vaccinology, I can guarantee that Ms. Lewis had the overall weight of the scientific evidence supporting her views. You do realize, don’t you, that the purpose of a ‘vaccine’ is to induce an immune response to protect against a pathogen that can cause a disease? Did you know that Ms. Lewis had proof of robust immunity against SARS-CoV-2? Even then she was denied a transplant. So, on what basis do you think that she deserved to die?
You, Mr. Angus, likely hold a certificate stating that someone witnessed needles going into your arm. The science is settled on the fact that the form of immunity that Ms. Lewis had is superior in every way to what you could possibly have received from your COVID-19 shots. In fact, for all we know, you may have been one of the relatively rare non-responders to the shots; meaning that you might have had no immunological protection against SARS-CoV-2. And yet you seem to feel entitled to declare that someone who was safer to be around than you, someone who would have been better protected against COVID-19 than you, deserved to die because she lacked the piece of paper that you have?
Mr. Angus, an organ, which is a valuable and rare resource, would have been better protected against loss due to COVID-19 in Ms. Lewis than in your body.
Mr. Angus, I have five suggestions for you…
Provide a heartfelt apology to the family and friends of Ms. Lewis and seek their forgiveness.
Apologize to all members of the public who had to bear witness to your sick message, many of whom are now pondering how much you hold them in contempt.
Contact me to discuss the massive amount of primary scientific data that support Ms. Sheila Lewis’s viewpoint. Clearly, you need to be educated about this. I suspect that you feel qualified to parrot statements that third-party ‘experts’ have made. You do not have the expertise to filter truth from lies in the complex fields of science relevant to COVID-19 shots and the immune system. Stay in your lane.
Take sensitivity training.
Resign.
Note: A pop-up just appeared on my screen for an article stating that Mr. Angus has just quietly removed his online post. There is no indication that he has issued an apology or that he regrets what he said. So, it changes nothing in this article at this point. It appears that he hopes no others will see his message and react to it.
Some days, I am so ashamed to be a Canadian. My country seems to be ruled based on vitriol!
Well done, Dr. Bridle.
Sheila Annette Lewis was murdered by ignorance, arrogance, and hatred just as surely as if she had been burned at the stake as a "witch" in Salem, Massachusetts. Yet she died with dignity and will be remembered as an inspiration to so many who admire her courage and steadfastness.
Mr. Angus' depraved indifference to human life is unforgivable.
Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP needs to rescind Mr. Charlie Angus' membership in the New Democratic Party. This is not the first time Mr. Angus has spouted vile and vitriolic comments about Canadians. His comments in parliament during the Trucker Freedom Convoy were disgusting and hateful. As Canadians, no matter which political party you support, we need to rise up and demand that this dismissal happen. We deserve much better from our elected representatives.
