(Jan. 2, 2025) — During an anguished accounting to Texas physician and America Out Loud host Dr. Mary Talley Bowden of his son Sean’s untimely death 33 days after taking the Pfizer COVID-19 “vaccine,” Canadian father Dan Hartman revealed he filed dual first-of-a-kind wrongful death lawsuits against Pfizer and the Canadian government.
Broadcast on November 12, this writer became aware of the interview only recently after following Bowden’s work for some time.
The suit against Pfizer was filed in October 2023 and widely covered in the press.
Hartman is seeking $35.6 million in damages.
Bowden opened the show by stating that at the beginning of the COVID-19 “pandemic,” “the medical mafia” attempted to “silence” her, referring to her loss of hospital privileges and the Texas Medical Board’s attempt to revoke her medical license for recommending off-label treatments for the virus.
“Former Houston Methodist doctor still licensed after using social media to spread COVID-19 misinformation” reads a Houston Chronicle headline from January 2022. “A former Houston Methodist doctor previously suspended for spreading COVID-19 misinformation online is still a licensed physician in the state of Texas despite continuing to promote false claims about vaccines and the virus on her social media,” the article begins.
“The pandemic is over, but the tyranny lives on,” Bowden said, after nonetheless declaring, “We will win.”
She then brought in Hartman to explain his rationale for the lawsuits.
In 2021, he said, after his 17-year-old son’s hockey league mandated the vaccine for all players, “Sean decided on his own, without my knowledge,” to be vaccinated.
“Four days later, he was rushed to emergency” with various severe symptoms, Hartman said, including “brown circles around his eyes,” a rash and pain in the opposite shoulder from the injection. The ER physician, he said, “just sent him home with a pain reliever for his shoulder.”
Thirty-three days afterward, Hartman said, Sean was “found dead” on the floor of his bedroom.
After a three-month wait, Hartman said, Sean’s cause of death was stated as “unascertained,” which Hartman said is declared in a mere “2%” of Canadian deaths.
Hartman said he is acquainted with the parents of six children his son’s age who died after receiving the Pfizer shot. Their deaths, too, were also ruled “unascertained,” a finding he believes is affirmation of the true cause of Sean’s death.
“They just will not admit what is happening out there,” he said of the medical community.
Tissue samples from his son’s body were sent to the U.S., Hartman said, after which he said “Dr. Cole” examined them and “found large amounts of spike protein in Sean’s adrenal glands.”
“Cole” is likely Idaho-based pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, whose medical license was also sought for revocation by the State of Washington as a result of his recommendation of non-traditional treatments for COVID-19 which he provided to patients free of charge.
The Washington Medical Commission eventually “restricted” Cole’s medical license.
Both Cole and Bowden are now senior fellows at the FLCCC International Fellowship Program launched in the spring by the FLCCC Alliance. Founded in March 2020 in response to the pandemic declaration, FLCCC became a significant online resource for COVID patients seeking alternative treatment.
Led by Dr. Joseph Varon and Dr. Paul Marik, the non-profit has since extended its research to treatment protocols for RSV, flu and cancer.
Now three years later, Hartman told Bowden, with the help of British Columbia-based Attorney Umar Sheikh, he has filed two wrongful death lawsuits against Pfizer and the Canadian government, specifically its medical program, Health Canada, respectively.
“I can’t heal until there’s justice, and I know my son can’t rest in peace until there’s justice,” Hartman punctuated his narrative.
Bowden asked if there is a “PREP Act” or equivalent in Canada. The 1986 U.S. law shields drug and vaccine manufacturers from liability, with the government adjudicating claims of vaccine and drug injuries through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP).
The Biden Health and Human Services secretary, Xavier Becerra, recently extended the protection through 2029 by means of a “12th amendment to the declaration under the PREP Act for COVID-19 Medical Countermeasures.”
Responding in the negative, Hartman said the absence of such a law made it possible for him to seek damages for the loss of his son. He expressed regret that Americans cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer directly and hopefulness that Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., might change that.
Last March, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX21) introduced a bill, the “LIABLE” Act, to repeal the PREP Act.
As for the essence of the lawsuit, Hartman told Bowden, “A lot of it is based on ‘no informed consent.'”
“Sean wasn’t informed of all the dangers; the government hid the dangers; Pfizer tried to hide the dangers for 75 years,” he said, referring to the FDA’s attempt to delay the release of documentation related to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine safety findings for 75 years.
Two years ago, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Pittman ruled the FDA must release the documents in question at a pace of 55,000 pages monthly, resulting in a complete release within approximately eight months.
Hartman said he had spoken to Sean before he “got the shot” and “begged him” not to do it. He said he counseled Sean that in the near future the mandates would be revoked and he could return to playing hockey without restrictions.
Hartman then revealed that two months after Sean died, the hockey league’s mandate was canceled. “I firmly believe it’s because of Sean’s death…if he would have waited two more months,” he said, fighting back tears.
“He was told it was safe and effective…he was just 17…he believed what they told him, and unfortunately it cost him his life,” Hartman said.
Bowden asked if “anyone” in Canada get obtain a vaccine without parental permission, to which Hartman replied, “Yes. Anyone 12 and older in Canada can get it without parental consent, which is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of…It’s just mind-blowing.”
“And the coaches never said a word?” Bowden pressed.
Hartman said they “might have said something to Sean’s mother, but we don’t speak…”
As for Pfizer, Hartman said he reported Sean’s death to the company but has not heard “one word” in return. He said he did not report it to VAERS, the U.S.’s recording system for injuries, deaths and other adverse events consumers and physicians believe is attributable to vaccine products.
In January 2023, while continuing to declare COVID-19 vaccines safe, Health Canada acknowledged the CDC’s report released ten days earlier stating that a “safety signal” had been identified for “persons aged 65 years and older.”
A GiveSendGo to raise money for Hartman’s lawsuits states, in part:
The significance of this case extends beyond Sean’s untimely and heartbreaking death; it addresses a broader need for transparency and accountability in mandated pharmaceutical interventions and public health measures. Our pursuit of answers seeks to ensure the well-being of all citizens, to protect the public, and children in particular, from irresponsible and reckless Canadian public health bureaucracies and their flawed decision-making.
On Wednesday Hartman opined on “X” 2025 will be the “the year of justice.”
