Prominent Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson’s COVID vaccine debate with a left-wing online political commentator has gone viral on social media.

During a March 21 episode of the Dr. Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, Peterson debated left-wing live streamer Steven Bonnell II, known as Destiny, on various issues including mRNA COVID vaccines and mandates.  

“There’s more negative effects reported from the mRNA vaccine than there were from every single vaccine ever created since the dawn of time,” Peterson stated during the interview, a fact supported by the CDC’s own Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).   

The debate has since gone viral, with many clipping portions of the debate on social media while social media influencers have posted videos reacting to the interview.   

During the discussion, Bonnell argued that none of the fears conservatives had regarding the COVID vaccine had come true, such as mass deaths following the vaccine rollout.   

However, Peterson countered Bonnell’s claim, pointing out that excess deaths have skyrocketed in countries where the mRNA vaccines were administered en masse.

“One relatively straightforward hypothesis [to explain excess mortality is that it is] a consequence of the disruption of the healthcare system, the staving off of cancer treatment, et cetera,” Peterson admitted. “The increase in depression, anxiety, suicidality, and alcoholism that was a consequence of the lockdowns, the economic disruption.”

“But the other obviously glaring possibility is that injecting billions of people with a vaccine that was not tested by any stretch of the imagination with the thoroughness that it should of before it was forced upon people, also might be a contributing factor,” Peterson declared.  

Peterson also argued that while vaccines have been mandated in the past, “We did it on a scale and at a rate during the COVID pandemic, so-called pandemic, that was unparalleled.”  

Peterson pointed out that the mRNA vaccines were a “radically transformed form of vaccine.”  

He explained that the technology was “so new that the potential danger of its mass administration was highly probable to be at least or more dangerous than the thing that it was supposed to protect against. And we are seeing that in the excess deaths.”   

Peterson further stated that the vaccines were not effective in preventing the transmission of COVID, as they had been previously advertised to do.  

In response, Bonnell argued that officials did not claim that the vaccine would completely prevent transmission, but rather United States President Joe Biden mentioned it in one speech.  

However, Peterson, a Canadian, reminded Bonnell that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prevented the unvaccinated from traveling under the pretense that doing so was a protective measure against the spread of COVID.

“Do you know that our Prime Minister in Canada deprived Canadians of the right to travel for some six months because the unvaccinated were going to transmit COVID with more likelihood than the vaccinated?” he questioned.   

“So this wasn’t one bloody statement, this was a thorough government policy in my country,” he insisted.   

Bonnell, however, continued to deny the dangers of the vaccine, arguing that no “credible” source or “huge institution” has exposed the dangers of the vaccine.   

“What do you make of the excess deaths?” Peterson pressed in response.  

“I don’t even know if there are 20 percent excess deaths in Europe right now,” Bonnell replied, attributing the rise in deaths to an overwhelmed healthcare system, the war in Ukraine, and a “rise in energy costs.”  

“But isn’t it possible that any of it could be unintended consequences of a novel technology injected into billions of people?” Peterson countered.   

Peterson’s argument is well-supported by recent studies which reveal excess deaths have skyrocketed around the world since the rollout of the COVID vaccines.  

Side effects linked to the rollout of the experimental jabs include upticks in heart, brain and blood diseases, among others issues. 

Additionally, numerous studies and many thousands of scientists and leading health professionals, including Nobel Prize winners and medics, have testified to the unprecedented level of injuries and deaths following and resulting from the COVID injections.  

The latest conservative estimate is that over 17 million worldwide died from receiving the injections making this the worst man-caused medical catastrophe in history.

Crown still working to put Lich and Barber in jail

The Crown’s appeal claims the judge made a mistake in her verdict on the intimidation charges, and also in how she treated aggravating and mitigating factors regarding sentencing.

Government lawyers for the Crown have filed an appeal the acquittals of Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber on intimidation charges.

The Crown also wants their recent 18-month conditional sentence on mischief charges replaced with harsher penalties, which could include possible jail time.

According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), it is “asking the Ontario Court of Appeal to enter a conviction on the intimidation charge or order a new trial on that count,” for Barber’s charges.

Specifically, the Crown’s appeal claims that the judge made a mistake in her verdict on the intimidation charges, and also in how she treated aggravating and mitigating factors regarding sentencing.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, both Lich and Barber have filed appeals of their own against their house arrest sentences, arguing that the trial judge did not correctly apply the law on their mischief charges.

Barber’s lawyer, Diane Magas, said that her client “relied in good faith on police and court direction during the protest. The principles of fairness and justice require that citizens not be punished for following the advice of authorities. We look forward to presenting our arguments before the Court.”

On October 7, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentenced Lich and Chris Barber to 18 months’ house arrest after being convicted earlier in the year of “mischief.”

Lich was given 18 months less time already spent in custody, amounting to 15 1/2 months.

The Lich and Barber trial concluded in September 2024, more than a year after it began. It was originally scheduled to last 16 days.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government was hoping to put Lich in jail for no less than seven years and Barber for eight years.

LifeSiteNews recently reported that Lich detailed her restrictive house arrest conditions, revealing she is “not” able to leave her house or even pick up her grandchildren from school without permission from the state.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich, reflecting on her recent house arrest verdict, said she has no “remorse” and will not “apologize” for leading a movement that demanded an end to all COVID mandates.

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich to appeal her recent conviction

Lawyers will argue that there is no evidence linking Tamara Lich ‘to the misdeeds of others.’

Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich said she will appeal her recent mischief conviction in an Ontario court, with her lawyers saying “there was no evidence linking her to the misdeeds of others.”

In a press release late yesterday, Lich’s legal team, headed by Lawrence Greenspon, Eric Granger, and Hannah Drennan, made the announcement.

“Lawyers for Tamara Lich filed Notice of Appeal in the Ontario Court of Appeal of the conviction for mischief arising out of the Freedom Convoy,” the release stated.

Lich’s legal team noted that there are two reasons for the principal grounds of appeal.

“While there was substantial evidence that Tamara encouraged the protesters to be peaceful, lawful and safe, there was no evidence linking her to the misdeeds of others,” they said.

The second reason for the appeal, according to Lich’s lawyers, is that the “trial judge failed to give effect to the principle that communication that would otherwise be mischief is protected by section 2(b) of the Charter, freedom of expression.”

On October 7, Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentenced Lich and Chris Barber to 18 months’ house arrest after being convicted earlier in the year of “mischief.”

Lich was given 18 months less time already spent in custody, amounting to 15 1/2 months.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, the Canadian government was hoping to put Lich in jail for no less than seven years and Barber for eight years for their roles in the 2022 protests against COVID mandates.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich, reflecting on her recent sentencing of over a year’s house arrest for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, laid bare the fact that when all is said in done, seven years of her life will have been spent in a government-imposed “lockdown” in one form or another.

LifeSiteNews recently reported that Lich detailed her restrictive house arrest conditions, revealing she is “not” able to leave her house or even pick up her grandkids from school without permission from the state.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich, reflecting on her recent house arrest verdict, said she has no “remorse” and will not “apologize” for leading a movement that demanded an end to all COVID mandates.
