### About Us
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/about/
Last updated: 2026-06-27T16:01:25.000Z
White Rose Intelligence is a Canadian research and intelligence firm with a focus on human rights. We harness the power of open source intelligence (OSINT) to gather and analyze facts and data, resulting in actionable information for individuals and advocacy groups alike. Our work is used in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.
## Connecting the Dots
In many cases, information on important topics is scattered across many platforms and formats—sometimes behind arbitrary paywalls, or hidden away in portals not indexed by Google. This leaves important knowledge just out of reach of the everyday person, preventing them from making informed decisions about their own well-being.
We work to resolve this by identifying “information gaps” across public platforms and contributing missing information for the benefit of the general public. Our flagship product, the [White Rose Wiki](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/browse/), hosts an ever-increasing number of profiles on people, organizations and other topics of interest, serving as the definitive go-to for researchers and curious citizens alike.
Our work in this area also includes contributing to online wiki articles, improving Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and improving the interconnectivity of websites which are disparate, but interrelated.

Liam graduated from Capilano University’s Advanced Arts and Entertainment Management program in 2015, and received his diploma in Advanced Audio Engineering and Studio Production from the Nimbus School of Recording and Media in 2020\. His extensive work with local governments and community organizations earned him the “Kind Heart Award” from the City of North Vancouver.

With the CCCA, Liam has led investigations into conflicts of interest in public health and government, as well as participating on the CCCA’s Transformation Oversight Group and Government Relations Committee.
Liam acted as secretary for *A Citizens’ Hearing* in June 2022, helping set the stage for Canada's National Citizens Inquiry in 2023\. He co-hosted and produced the popular Rounding the Earth podcast, leading roundtable discussions, investigative reporting and in-depth interviews with a wide range of guests related to the COVID-19 pandemic and civil rights.
From July 2023-December 2024, Liam worked as a consultant for American Values 2024 (now called MAHA PAC), and as an investigative reporter for its flagship publication, *The Kennedy Beacon*. In this role, he helped create Policies for the People, an innovative open source policy development platform.
In 2024, Liam founded White Rose Intelligence, a research and intelligence firm focused on human rights through which he conducts research and advocacy projects surrounding the law, public health, and civil rights in Canada and the United States.

Last updated: 2026-09-05T16:20:20.000Z
**Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.** is an American biotechnology company based in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.
## History
The company was founded on June 29, 1983 as Biotechnologies & Experimental Research, Inc.[\[1\]](#fn1) On December 10, 1991, the company changed its corporate name to BTX, Inc.
On February 8, 1994, the company changed its name to Genetronics. It went public in April 1994 by exchanging shares with Consolidated United Safety Technologies, which was listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange in British Columbia, Canada.[\[2\]](#fn2) On September 2, 1997, the company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). On December 8, 1998, the company listed on the American Stock Exchange and voluntarily de-listed from the TSX on January 17, 2003.
The company's focus during much of its early period as a U.S. stock was on electroporation, a technology for introducing DNA and drugs into cells through a brief electrical pulse that causes tiny pores to open in the cell membrane. Genetronics developed drug delivery systems using electroporation and sold electroporation equipment to the research laboratory market.
On June 15, 2001, Genetronics Biomedical Ltd. completed a change in jurisdiction of incorporation from British Columbia, Canada, to the state of Delaware and became Genetronics Biomedical Corporation. On January 25, 2005, Genetronics Biomedical Corporation acquired Inovio AS, a gene delivery technology company located in Norway.
On March 31, 2005, Genetronics Biomedical Corporation was renamed Inovio Biomedical Corporation.
On June 1, 2009, Inovio Biomedical merged with VGX Pharmaceuticals. Stanley Plotkin joined Inovio's scientific advisory board later that month.[\[3\]](#fn3) On May 14, 2010, the combined entity changed its corporate name to Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
### COVID-19

Inovio has received funding from the [Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Coalition-for-Epidemic-Preparedness-Innovations) (CEPI) for three vaccine candidates. The company was granted up to US$22.5 million for its nucleic acid COVID-19 vaccine, for which funding was discontinued. It further received up to US$56 million for its Lassa virus and MERS vaccine candidates, in Phase I and II clinical trials respectively.[\[5\]](#fn5)
## Organization
Inovio is a member company of the [Biotechnology Innovation Organization](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Biotechnology-Innovation-Organization) (BIO)[\[6\]](#fn6) and the [Medical CBRN Defense Consortium](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Medical-CBRN-Defense-Consortium).[\[7\]](#fn7) Inovio's partners and collaborators include the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy,[\[8\]](#fn8) [Merck](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Merck), Tripep, the University of Southampton, University of Pennsylvania, and the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.[\[3:1\]](#fn3)

### Rocco Galati mandate lawsuit
On August 26, 2021, Michael Palmer sent an email blast to administrators at the University of Waterloo calling for the repeal of COVID-19 testing and vaccine mandates. The letter included a note claiming that CHD Canada was "preparing a lawsuit against all universities and colleges (including UW) which have issued these illegal vaccination and testing mandates" in "cooperation with lawyers [Rocco Galati](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Rocco-Galati) and Amina Sherazee of the [Constitutional Rights Centre](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Constitutional-Rights-Centre)."[\[4\]](#fn4)
Four days later, CHD Canada hosted a Zoom meeting to discuss the lawsuit, describes as "coordinated by CHD and will be filed by lawyer Rocco Galati." A memo was created containing instructions for students to join the suit, which involved setting up a one-on-one meeting with Galati. Prospective plaintiffs were instructed to be prepared to pay $2,000 towards the cost of the lawsuit, with the possibility of being "on the hook for another payment of up to $2,000 dollars" if "the rule of the law is not restored and Rocco loses." It also noted that CHD "may use donations received to assist with paying the fees."[\[5\]](#fn5)
Between approximately August 2021 and January 2022, CHD Canada was based at the same Toronto, Ontario address as Rocco Galati's law office and his Constitutional Rights Centre.[\[6\]](#fn6)[\[7\]](#fn7)[\[8\]](#fn8) As of April 2022, the address was changed to a post office box in Bellevue, Ontario.[\[9\]](#fn9)

### District of West Vancouver
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/district-of-west-vancouver/
Last updated: 2026-08-30T16:08:45.000Z
The **District of West Vancouver** is the government body for West Vancouver, British Columia, Canada.
## COVID-19
West Vancouver was the second municipality in British Columbia to record cases of COVID-19 in March 2020, following the first reported outbreak at Lynn Valley Care Centre in the neighbouring District of North Vancouver.[\[1\]](#fn1) On March 12, 2020, long-term care facility Hollyburn House announced they had identified two positive cases among a staff member and resident.[\[2\]](#fn2)
Mayor Mary-Ann Booth began instituting closures on March 13, and on March 16 closed all facilities run by the District except for Municipal Hall, police and fire services, the District Operations Centre and Capilano View Cemetery. She described the closures as “necessary to reduce the spread of Coronavirus in our community,” and told residents they should stay home. All community engagement activities were also suspended.[\[3\]](#fn3) She declared a local state of emergency on March 21, granting the municipal government additional powers to enforce orders issued by provincial health officer [Bonnie Henry](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Bonnie-Henry), including business closures and revocation of business licenses.[\[4\]](#fn4)
### Vaccine mandates
On October 27, 2021, the district announced a mandatory policy requiring all staff members and volunteers to receive at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of continued employment.[\[5\]](#fn5) According to district spokesperson Donna Powers, the policy was implemented “to raise vaccination rates across the community.” The West Vancouver Police Department (WVPD) received a similar directive on November 2, allowing officers until January 11, 2022, to provide proof of vaccination or be put on leave.[\[6\]](#fn6)
On December 22, 2021, Chief Administrative Officer [Robert Bartlett](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Robert-Bartlett) announced a series of new public health measures in response to an alleged “fifth wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his message, he wrote: “I would like to thank the many staff who have already verified their vaccine status. We know this is the best strategy to combat the spread of COVID-19\. Getting vaccinated, and getting your booster when you are called to, is more important than ever as case numbers surge in BC, across the country, and around the world.”[\[7\]](#fn7)
Following the January 4, 2022, deadline to show proof of vaccination, 16 district employees were put on unpaid leave with possibility of termination.[\[8\]](#fn8)
On March 31, 2022, Bartlett announced that the mandatory vaccination policy was to be suspended for current employees as of April 11, 2022\. It was to remain in place for new staff and volunteers.[\[9\]](#fn9)

### Global Leaders for Tomorrow
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/global-leaders-for-tomorrow/
Last updated: 2026-08-28T16:22:40.000Z
**Global Leaders for Tomorrow** was a leadership development program led by the [World Economic Forum](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/World-Economic-Forum). It was the predecessor to the [Forum of Young Global Leaders](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Forum-of-Young-Global-Leaders).
## History
In 1992, [Klaus Schwab](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Klaus-Schwab) launched the Global Leaders for Tomorrow program under the auspices of the World Economic Forum.[\[1\]](#fn1)[\[2\]](#fn2)
This first iteration was shut down after the class of 2003\. According to economist Richard Werner, who was selected in 2003, the program was closed down and rebooted as a more controllable group because there started to be too many people asking difficult questions in the forum.[\[3\]](#fn3)
In a 2019 talk with Carlos Alvarado Quesada, Klaus Schwab mentioned that Vladimir Putin had participated in the Young Leader program, presumably during his St. Petersburg years in the 1990s.[\[4\]](#fn4) While this is not completely confirmed from other sources, further evidence continues to emerge suggesting this is the case. Another video emerged of Schwab naming Putin among a list of other world leaders including Angela Merkel and Justin Trudeau, while speaking at the John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2017.[\[5\]](#fn5)
In January 2021, Putin presented a keynote address at the World Economic Forum, where he recalled how he first met Schwab in 1992 and since then had regularly attended events organized by the WEF.[\[6\]](#fn6)[\[7\]](#fn7)

### Canadian Bar Association British Columbia Branch
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/canadian-bar-association-british-columbia-branch/
Last updated: 2026-08-27T22:24:48.000Z
The **Canadian Bar Association British Columbia Branch (CBABC)** is a provincial branch of the Canadian Bar Association (CBA) based in Vancouver, British Columbia. CBABC publishes *BarTalk*.[\[1\]](#fn1)
## History
In response to the declared COVID-19 pandemic, CBABC closed its offices in mid-March and began working remotely.[\[2\]](#fn2) CBABC President Ken Armstrong and Executive Director Kerry Simmons "regularly met with lawyers to listen to their concerns about practicing in the pandemic, necessary law reforms, and access to the courts." CBABC brought those concerns to the chiefs of the Provincial Court of British Columbia, Supreme Court of British Columbia and British Columbia Court of Appeal, as well as the British Columbia Ministry of Attorney General "to help inform their response to the public health emergency."[\[3\]](#fn3) Subject matter experts "developed briefing notes submitted to the provincial government", which "responded by enacting various Ministerial Orders and legislative amendments to accommodate the needs of the profession in delivering legal services." Issues that CBABC influenced included suspension of limitation periods; remote execution of documents and witnessing of wills; suspension of jury trials for civil actions; recognizing pet stores and veterinarians as essential services; and "consultation for transition rules when state of emergency ends".[\[2:1\]](#fn2)
On April 24, 2020, the British Columbia Ministry of Attorney General announced CBABC as a member of the [Justice COVID-19 Response Group](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Justice-COVID-19-Response-Group) (JCRG), created "to support government response to the impact of restrictive public health measures on the justice system."[\[4\]](#fn4) Kerry Simmons represented CBABC at JCRG meetings.[\[5\]](#fn5)
CBABC launched a COVID-19 Resource Hub to collect court updates as well as "advocacy news, links to practice management and business resources, and relevant CBA professional development programs from across Canada."[\[2:2\]](#fn2)[\[6\]](#fn6)
In June 2020, the Women Lawyers Forum hosted three "highly-attended online meetings" with Allison Wolf,[\[7\]](#fn7) Linda Parsons and Paula Price on "how lawyers can adapt their practice to the new COVID-19 environment."[\[8\]](#fn8)
On November 19, 2020, CBABC posted an update to their COVID-19 Resource Hub stating that "Employers are expected to enforce the mandatory mask policy with both employees and customers."[\[9\]](#fn9)
On April 22, 2021, CBABC targeted several officials in the British Columbia Ministry of Attorney General for lobbying efforts related to the COVID-19 pandemic on behalf of CBABC. Specifically, Jennifer Brun and Kerry Simmons engaged the officials in a "Discussion of challenges in accessing justice due to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions which hamper use of courthouses and government agencies." Additional topics included establishing a "Unified Family Court," providing "rural communities with access to internet, computer equipment and training," and "Modernizing \[the\] court system through \[an\] updated scheduling and booking system, digitization of records, enhancing court staffing," and "funding \[the\] existing Court Digital Transformation Strategy." The targeted officials were Attorney General David Eby, Paul Craven, Richard Fyfe, Anita Nadziejko, and Brendan Wright.[\[10\]](#fn10)
In CBABC's 2021/2022 Annual Report, President Clare Jennings wrote that "CBABC became an indispensable asset and source of essential, up-to-date information for the legal community" during the declared COVID-19 pandemic, and that many of the organization's recommendations to [Harry Cayton](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Harry-Cayton) were reflected in his *Report of a Governance Review of the Law Society of BC*.[\[11\]](#fn11)

### Jill Glasspool-Malone
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/jill-glasspool-malone/
Last updated: 2026-08-22T14:14:24.000Z
**Jill Glasspool-Malone** is an American biotechnology researcher and entrepreneur. She is married to [Robert Malone](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Robert-Malone). She is the co-founder and vice president of the [Malone Institute](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Malone-Institute).[\[1\]](#fn1)
## History
Glasspool-Malone studied anthropology at the University of California, San Diego from September 1986 - June 1989, with an emphasis on behaviour.[\[2\]](#fn2) She then studied Comparative Pathology at the University of California, Davis from September 1994 - December 1996.
In January 1997, she started work as a research specialist at the University of Baltimore, acting as a Biosecurity Level 2 (BSL-2) laboratory manager and supervisor. Her duties included managing the lab's regulatory needs, budgeting, grant writing, and writing papers for publication on the topics of immunology, cell culture, gene transfer, and genetic vaccination. She remained in this position until August 2000.
### Intradigm
Glasspool-Malone co-founded [Intradigm](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Intradigm), a gene therapy and targeted drug delivery company in Rockville, Maryland. She began working on the startup in August 1999 as Managing Director, helping to secure $2.3 million in venture capital funding, setting up laboratory and office facilities, and developing the company's scientific and business development plan.[\[2:1\]](#fn2) Intradigm launched in mid-2000.[\[3\]](#fn3)
### Gene Delivery Alliance
On April 19, 2001, Glasspool-Malone founded the Gene Delivery Alliance, and became CEO of Robert Malone MD, LLC in August 2001.[\[4\]](#fn4) From September 2001 to June 2005, she studied Public Policy at the Union Institute & University with a specialization in biotechnology.
In 2002, she published a paper titled "Enhancing direct in vivo transfection with nuclease inhibitors and pulsed electrical fields" with Robert Malone on which she lists Gene Delivery Alliance as her affiliation.[\[5\]](#fn5)
She and Robert both received postgraduate training as a Harvard Medical School Global Clinical Scholar in 2015-2016.[\[6\]](#fn6)
### COVID-19
On May 17, 2021, Glasspool-Malone posted two back-to-back comments on an IPWatchdog article titled “The mRNA IP and Competitive Landscape Through One Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic – Part I”. The first comment read, “Robert Malone and I have a patent that included RNA vaccination, which expired in 2017, but it is interesting because many of the patents listed above and issued prior to 2017 – claim nasal and mucosal routes.” She included the patent, titled “DNA vaccines for eliciting a mucosal immune response”, assigned to the University of Maryland. The second comment, posted only four minutes later, read, “As Robert Malone clearly invented mRNA vaccines while at the Salk and [Vical](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Vical), it is interesting that there is not mention of his work?” followed by a series of publications and patents.[\[7\]](#fn7)
In June 2021, Glasspool-Malone published a short essay titled “A Scientific Education: The Early Discoveries of RNA and DNA Vaccination” in which she articulated her perspective on Malone's career as it relates to the invention of mRNA vaccines and DNA vaccines.[\[8\]](#fn8)

[Monetizing the COVID-19 Backlash—Big Vision, Palpable Demand, But Can They Pull it Off?“We refuse to profit from your sickness. Join the fight for medical freedom by supporting TWC — a company focused on your Wellness with incredible doctors, treatments, and products.” A quote from Dr. Peter A. McCullough of The Wellness Company, a startup seeking to build a parallel health system. But along the way, will the company start embracing attributes mastered by the existing healthcare corporate empire? Founded in June 2022, the Wellness Company is a new company that offers supplements that purport to reverse damage from mRNA vaccines, along with COVID-19 treatments offered via telemedicine subscriptions. Founded by Foster Coulson, the driving ethos was to build a company to support a patient-centric, parallel healthcare company. Driving that vision was what Coulson saw as a system during the COVID-19 pandemic demonizing front-line physicians and available, safe medicines that could have saved, in his view, millions of lives. A lead player is the high-profile Dr. Peter McCullough, quoted above. But of course, this firm focuses on profits if it is to grow, invest and truly offer an alternative system that is friendly to patients. While the Wellness Company is a privately held, independent venture, a review of Coulson’s investments reveals what looks to be a larger-scale entity designed to give mainstream healthcare systems competition.](https://www.trialsitenews.com/a/monetizing-the-covid-19-backlashbig-vision-palpable-demand-but-can-they-pull-it-off-96813d72)

### Lexi Budzon
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/lexi-budzon/
Last updated: 2026-08-13T16:14:52.000Z
**Alexis "Lexi" Taylor Budzon** (January 27, 1997-December 1, 2021)[\[1\]](#fn1) was an American nursing student based in Huntsville, Alabama.
## History
Budzon attended the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) before continuing her education at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, training to become a nurse.[\[1:1\]](#fn1)
### COVID-19
In the final months before graduating, Budzon faced pressure to receive a [COVID-19 vaccine](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine), which was required alongside an influenza vaccine for her hospital rotations. Despite her reservations over the new products, Budzon decided to take both shots. She received her first dose of the [Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19-vaccine) in August 2021 and her second in mid-September 2021.[\[2\]](#fn2)
Budzon experienced [adverse events](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Adverse-events-associated-with-COVID-19-vaccines) after both doses, starting with menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding). After her second dose, she developed multiple symptoms including persistent fatigue, headache and chest pain after light exercise. Her condition worsened in November 2021, developing "urinary symptoms, gastrointestinal upset, a new rash on her arms and trunk, neck pain, and a low-grade fever." Returning home to Colorado, she went to the doctor on November 22, 2021, before being hospitalized on November 29 with vomiting and weakness. In hospital, she suffered a seizure, and was transported by helicopter to a tertiary care center.[\[2:1\]](#fn2)
Budzon was declared brain dead on December 1, 2021, but remained on life support to preserve her organs for donation. Her autopsy listed her cause of death as "complications of an undiagnosed, asymptomatic Chiari malformation," while also noting intraparenchymal hemorrhage and hemorrhage of the upper spinal cord.[\[2:2\]](#fn2)
Budzon's family, doctors and legal team believe the COVID-19 vaccine contributed to her health decline.[\[2:3\]](#fn2) They submitted a report to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) on June 24, 2022.[\[3\]](#fn3) Lexi's mother, Kimberly Budzon, filed a supplemental report on July 11, 2024, after the connection to the COVID-19 vaccine wasn't made ambiguous in the initial published report.[\[2:4\]](#fn2)
Budzon's story was published by React19 at the wishes of her mother, Kim.[\[4\]](#fn4) [Children's Health Defense](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Childrens-Health-Defense) (CHD) published interviews with Kim on January 22 and July 9, 2025.[\[5\]](#fn5)[\[6\]](#fn6)

The letter included a note claiming that [Children's Health Defense Canada](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Childrens-Health-Defense-Canada) was "preparing a lawsuit against all universities and colleges (including UW) which have issued these illegal vaccination and testing mandates" in "cooperation with lawyers Rocco Galati and Amina Sherazee of the Constitutional Rights Centre."[\[3\]](#fn3)
Between approximately August 2021 and January 2022, CHD Canada was based at the same Toronto, Ontario address as the CRC and Galati's law office.[\[4\]](#fn4)[\[5\]](#fn5)[\[6\]](#fn6) As of April 2022, the address was changed to a post office box in Bellevue, Ontario.[\[7\]](#fn7)
On February 13, 2025, a [class action lawsuit was filed](https://cbaapps.org/ClassAction/PDF.aspx?id=25476) against Galati and the CRC on allegations of "negligent misrepresentation and a pattern of sloppy, 'bad beyond argument' pleadings across six legal challenges launched between 2020 and 2024."[\[8\]](#fn8) Galati is represented by Ken Fitz of McLennan Ross, while the CRC is represented by Joe Spelliscy of Duncan Craig.[\[8:1\]](#fn8) The suit was brought by Sheikh Law and West Point Law Group.[\[9\]](#fn9)

### Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention/
Last updated: 2026-08-07T23:41:45.000Z
The **Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)** is an agency of the [United States Federal Government](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-States-Federal-Government). It operates within the [United States Department of Health and Human Services](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/United-States-Department-of-Health-and-Human-Services) (HHS). It has previously been called the **Communicable Disease Center**, the **National Communicable Disease Center**, the **Center for Disease Control**, and the **Centers for Disease Control**.[\[1\]](#fn1)
## History
The Communicable Disease Center was founded on July 1, 1946 as the successor to the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA).[\[2\]](#fn2) Originally created during World War II under the United States Public Health Service, MCWA was tasked with killing disease-carrying mosquitos by spraying insecticides in and around military facilities.[\[1:1\]](#fn1) Starting with a chemical called Paris Green, MCWA also used diesel gas before switching to DDT in 1944.
MCWA quickly expanded its activities to the wider, nascent public health system, including spraying neighbourhoods with DDT and focusing on additional diseases such as yellow fever and dengue.
At the end of World War II, MCWA was replaced a new agency called the Communicable Disease Center (CDC), which continued its program to apply DDT to the interiors of homes for several more years.[\[3\]](#fn3)
Since 1947, the scope of CDC’s mandate has continued to expand, along with several name changes. CDC added veterinary and epidemiology divisions, and responded to the Cold War by creating the Epidemic Intelligence Service in 1951\. The focus of the agency shifted towards laboratory science, before expanding beyond the realm of infectious diseases to include nutrition, chronic disease and occupational health. In 1967, the agency changed its name to the National Communicable Disease Center, before opting for the Center for Disease Control in 1970\. The plural version of the name was introduced in 1980.
On March 29, 1983, the United States Congress amended the *Public Health Service Act* to allow the CDC to accept "unconditional and conditional gifts…for the benefit of the Public Health Service or for the carrying out of any of its functions."[\[4\]](#fn4)[\[5\]](#fn5)
The Centers for Disease Control was renamed a final time on October 27, 1992 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.[\[6\]](#fn6)
In October 2015, the CDC awarded a five-year grant to the [Infectious Diseases Institute](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Infectious-Diseases-Institute) (IDI) to advance the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) in Uganda. This resulted in the establishment of the Biosafety and Biosecurity Association Uganda (BBAU).[\[7\]](#fn7)
### COVID-19
On February 4, 2020, the CDC published a document titled "CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel - Instructions for Use," in which they claim that "no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available." As such, the first polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were designed based on the full-length transcribed nucleocapsid protein of the virus as it appeared on GenBank.[\[8\]](#fn8)
Subsequent revisions of the document maintained this language until Revision 5, published July 13, 2020.[\[9\]](#fn9) Revision 6, published December 1, 2020, finally updated the statement to read that no isolates were "available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and \[the\] study conducted."[\[10\]](#fn10)
On May 5, 2023, the CDC announcement it would be retiring the [V-safe](V-safe.md) vaccine adverse event reporting system as of May 19.[\[11\]](#fn11)[\[12\]](#fn12)
On January 5, 2024, the CDC was ordered to release the "free-text" entries of [adverse event](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Adverse-events-associated-with-COVID-19-vaccines) reports to its V-safe monitoring system following a lawsuit by the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN).[\[13\]](#fn13)
On March 1, 2024, the CDC published updated guidelines recommending Americans treat COVID-19 just like they would treat the flu.[\[14\]](#fn14)
### Second Trump Administration
On November 22, 2024, incoming President Donald Trump nominated former congressman Dave Weldon to lead the CDC in his second administration.[\[15\]](#fn15) His nomination was subsequently withdrawn on March 13, 2025.[\[16\]](#fn16) President Trump then nominated acting director [Susan Monarez](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Susan-Coller-Monarez) on March 24, 2025 to become the permanent director.[\[17\]](#fn17)
On May 27, 2025, Secretary of Health and Human Services [Robert F. Kennedy Jr.](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Robert-F-Kennedy-Jr) announced that the CDC would no longer recommend [COVID-19 vaccines](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine) for healthy children and pregnant women.[\[18\]](#fn18)
Monarez was confirmed by the United States Senate on July 29, 2025.[\[19\]](#fn19) Less than a month later on August 27, 2025, HHS announced in a post on [X](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Twitter) that Monarez was "no longer director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."[\[20\]](#fn20) According to the *Washington Post*, Monarez was removed after refusing to resign over disagreements with HHS Secretary Kennedy over changes to federal vaccine policy and senior CDC leadership. Monarez's lawyers, Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell, insisted she had neither resigned nor been fired, and she refused to step down.[\[21\]](#fn21)[\[22\]](#fn22) The White House subsequently confirmed that President Trump had, indeed, fired Monarez, and reports soon circulated that Jim O'Neill would be tapped to replace her.[\[23\]](#fn23)
On September 1, 2025, a group of nine former CDC directors and acting directors published an opinion piece in *[The New York Times](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/New-York-Times)* accusing Kennedy of "endangering every American's health" by firing Monarez and making sweeping changes to federal health policy.[\[24\]](#fn24) James Lyons-Weiler described the op-ed as "reputation management disguised as alarm."[\[25\]](#fn25) On September 4, California, Oregon and Washington State announced the launch of a new West Coast Health Alliance in response to Monarez's firing and the shakeup of the [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Advisory-Committee-on-Immunization-Practices) (ACIP). According to the states, the alliance is "intended to restore trust and provide residents with clear, consistent vaccine recommendations rooted in evidence." Hawaii joined the alliance the following day.[\[26\]](#fn26)
On November 19, 2025, the CDC published updated guidance on the issue of whether or not vaccines cause [autism](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Autism).[\[27\]](#fn27) The agency clarified that "studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism," and "studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities."[\[28\]](#fn28)
Erica Schwartz was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 5, 2026, as the new CDC director.[\[29\]](#fn29)
## Organization
The CDC is comprised of numerous research centers and institutes:[\[30\]](#fn30)
- Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)[\[31\]](#fn31)
- Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA)
- Global Health Center (GHC)
- National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD)
- National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP)
- National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID)
- National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH)
- National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)
- National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP)
- National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD)
- National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
- National Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce (NCSTLTPHIW)
- National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
### Committees
- [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Advisory-Committee-on-Immunization-Practices) (ACIP)
### Funding
The CDC is allocated public funding on an annual basis by the United States Congress. These funds are then distributed within the CDC, as well as to public health agencies at the state and municipal levels across the United States, in a manner determined by the CDC’s Office of Financial Resources (OFR).[\[32\]](#fn32) In 2015, the CDC’s year-end budget was $6.9 billion USD.[\[7:1\]](#fn7) By 2018, this had increased to $7.625 billion.[\[33\]](#fn33) Notably, the CDC budget in 2019, just prior to the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, fell to $7.283 billion.[\[34\]](#fn34) This decrease was short-lived, however, with a year-end budget in 2020 of $7.77 billion. This figure has increased yearly ever since, landing at $9.184 billion at the end of 2023.[\[35\]](#fn35)
#### External gifts
The CDC also accepts "external gifts" from private entities, and engages in public-private partnerships.[\[4:1\]](#fn4) Such gifts can be either “conditional” or “unconditional” – in other words, strings may be attached, with the expectation that a donor would hold some degree of sway over a particular CDC program or area of research.
Between 2015-2018, the CDC received direct gifts from:[\[36\]](#fn36)[\[37\]](#fn37)[\[38\]](#fn38)[\[39\]](#fn39)

### Daniel Nagase
URL: https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/daniel-nagase/
Last updated: 2026-08-06T16:12:10.000Z
Dr. **Daniel Yoshio Nagase** is a Canadian emergency and family practice physician.[\[1\]](#fn1)[\[2\]](#fn2) He practiced medicine in British Columbia and Alberta until his suspension in 2021\. He has two children with his ex-wife, who is a registered nurse.[\[3\]](#fn3)
## History
Nagase attended Dalhousie University, where he learned that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in North America was primarily associated with poverty, smokers in the household and recent vaccination.[\[4\]](#fn4) He also studied cell biology and physiology at McGill University.[\[5\]](#fn5)[\[6\]](#fn6)[\[7\]](#fn7)
Nagase graduated with his Doctor of Medicine from Dalhousie in 2004, and received additional certifications from the College of Family Physicians of Canada and Medical Council of Canada.[\[8\]](#fn8)[\[2:1\]](#fn2)[\[9\]](#fn9) He completed post-graduate training from 2006-2008 at the University of Ottawa, registering with the [College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/College-of-Physicians-and-Surgeons-of-Ontario) on July 18, 2006\. His registration expired June 30, 2008.[\[10\]](#fn10)
### Career
Nagase then began working as an emergency room doctor.[\[11\]](#fn11) He had locum privileges at Squamish General Hospital, where he reportedly was subject to disciplinary action.[\[12\]](#fn12)[\[13\]](#fn13)
In May 2010, he began working at the South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver, British Columbia.[\[12:1\]](#fn12) On December 14, 2010, an incident occurred resulting in a "somewhat heated exchange within the emergency ward" at SOGH between Nagase and the head nurse, "all within the earshot of patients."[\[12:2\]](#fn12) On December 17, 2010, Nagase and his superiors agreed that he would resign from his position effective February 16, 2011.
In or around 2012, Nagase worked at Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge, BC.[\[14\]](#fn14)
In 2015, Nagase went on to practice in rural, under-served communities in Alberta.[\[15\]](#fn15) The earliest record of Nagase's registration with the [College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/College-of-Physicians-and-Surgeons-of-Alberta) is June 30, 2015.[\[9:1\]](#fn9)
On August 31, 2015, Nagase attended a hearing as plaintiff in a case he brought against Drs. Peter Entwistle and Jonathan Slater, South Okanagan General Hospital, and the [Interior Health Authority](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Interior-Health-Authority) on the grounds of "defamation, interference with contractual relations and breach of his privacy."
On September 15, 2015, Justice Gordon Weatherill dismissed Nagase's defamation charge.[\[12:3\]](#fn12) Nagase appealed the decision, appearing in court on May 10, 2016, but this was also dismissed in a June 15, 2016 decision.[\[16\]](#fn16)
#### COVID-19
Nagase was employed as an emergency physician at Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre.[\[17\]](#fn17) Nagase later observed that based on his experience in 2020, "neglect appeared to harm as many or more elderly than COVID ever did." He also described an "increase in substance abuse and suicidality" among young people presenting to the ER, especially as the lockdown measures progressed.[\[18\]](#fn18)
On September 11, 2021, Nagase treated several elderly patients diagnosed with "COVID-19 pneumonia" using a combination of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, along with salbutamol, fluticasone, azithromycin, diuretics and "nebulized medication."[\[11:1\]](#fn11)[\[15:1\]](#fn15) According to Nagase, "all three patients wanted to try ivermectin."[\[15:2\]](#fn15) Nagase was denied a prescription from the pharmacy at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. He was then contacted by Dr. Gerald Lazarenko, the provincial medical director for pharmacy services under [Alberta Health Services](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Alberta-Health-Services), who “insisted that ivermectin had no place in the treatment of COVID.” Nagase was able to acquire ivermectin from an agricultural supply by "a rogue pharmacist," who "double-checked and confirmed the product was the exact same as that used for humans and Nagase then provided the appropriate dose to his patients according to their weight."[\[17:1\]](#fn17)[\[15:3\]](#fn15)
Within hours, Nagase received a call from Dr. Jennifer Bestard, the central zone medical director, informing him he was “forbidden from giving ivermectin to patients.”[\[15:4\]](#fn15)
All three patients were reportedly in recovery within 18 hours, including a noticeable improvement in their pneumonia symptoms, and left within a week.
According to Nagase, Jennifer Starr of Alberta Health Services (AHS) filed a complaint with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) for his use of "a medication \[he\] was not supposed to use" in the treatment of COVID-19\. On September 12, Bestard called Nagase's hospital and told him with 15 minutes' notice that his emergency room privileges were suspended for the remainder of 2021.[\[15:5\]](#fn15)
Nagase was assigned lawyers by the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA), including Karen Pirie of [Gowling WLG](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Gowling-WLG).[\[19\]](#fn19) Nagase asked Pirie to pursue a claim that the CPSA violated his human rights as he had been effectively prohibited from practicing medicine, which she refused to do.
He then complained directly to the college, who told him he had violated their policy on use of ivermectin. The [policy in question](https://web.archive.org/web/20211118063340/https://cpsa.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ivermectin%5FGuidance-for-Physicians.pdf) was published shortly after Nagase's successful treatment of his patients, first appearing online on October 7, 2021.[\[20\]](#fn20)[\[21\]](#fn21) In its statements to the press, AHS said that it had followed the results of a review conducted by the [AHS COVID-19 Scientific Advisory Group](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/AHS-COVID-19-Scientific-Advisory-Group) which found "no evidence that ivermectin in either human or animal formulation is safe or beneficial when used to prevent or treat COVID-19."[\[17:2\]](#fn17)[\[22\]](#fn22)
Nagase also held a license to practice in British Columbia,[\[2:2\]](#fn2) where the [College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/College-of-Physicians-and-Surgeons-of-British-Columbia) had also issued their own similar policy on ivermectin on October 1, 2021.[\[23\]](#fn23)
Shortly after having his hospital privileges suspended, Nagase's wife began the process of divorcing him.[\[3:1\]](#fn3)
On October 1, 2021, Nagase delivered a speech during an event held outside the Vancouver Art Gallery by Common Ground marking the 75th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials during which he described the incident. Brian Peckford wrote about the speech on his blog, sharing a video of the speech several days later.[\[17:3\]](#fn17)[\[24\]](#fn24) Dr. Cian Hackett filed a complaint against Nagase with the CPSA following his speech, as did Jacqueline Wolf on the grounds that he administered medications that were “potentially unsafe / have little to no evidence to their efficacy.”[\[25\]](#fn25) Wolf cited a separate complaint made by an anonymous nurse, which led Nagase to file his own complaint with the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta.
On October 7, 2021, Alberta Health Services issued a statement accusing Nagase of spreading "misinformation about COVID-19 treatment."[\[26\]](#fn26)
On November 9, 2021, Nagase participated in an interview with Noble Savages alongside Dr. [Robert Malone](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Robert-Malone).[\[27\]](#fn27) Nagase expressed concern about the possibility of reverse transcriptase and cancer associated with [COVID-19 vaccines](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/COVID-19-vaccine). Malone, on the other hand, cautioned against speculation around reverse transcriptase and integration of the mRNA material into the human genome, stating that the 'Freedom Community' was "under intense pressure... we have to be super careful about our messaging and what we're stating." Nagase later expressed skepticism and disappointment about Malone's priorities while recounting this incident.[\[28\]](#fn28)
On November 10, 2021, Supreme Court of British Columbia Master Grant Taylor issued an order preventing Nagase from communicating with his children, who were aged 7 and 9 at the time, for one year. According to Nagase, this was done because of his "estranged wife's claim" that he was a danger to his children due to his "stance on the dangers of the experimental COVID injections," as well as her allegation that Nagase planned to kidnap his children because he owned "a travel trailer and rural property."[\[29\]](#fn29)
On November 11, 2021, Nagase participated in a rally in North Vancouver, British Columbia outside the local Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) detachment, during which he and [Mel Bruchet](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Mel-Bruchet) raised awareness over an alleged rise in stillbirths associated with COVID-19 vaccines.[\[30\]](#fn30) The pair spoke with RCMP officers and sought to file a criminal complaint against the executive membership of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC), "alleging conflicts of interest influencing their policies, decisions and statements made to the people of British Columbia."[\[31\]](#fn31)[\[32\]](#fn32)
On November 13, 2021, Nagase spoke at a rally in Kelowna, British Columbia.[\[33\]](#fn33)
On November 23, 2021, [Vancouver Coastal Health](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Vancouver-Coastal-Health-Authority) issued a series of statements on [Twitter](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Twitter) dismissing the claims of stillbirths as "rumours and disinformation."[\[34\]](#fn34)
Nagase was at Bruchet's house recording an interview with the *Western Standard* on December 8, 2021 when six RCMP officers and a mental health nurse arrived and arrested Bruchet.[\[35\]](#fn35) On December 9, 2021, Nagase delivered a speech at the [Legislative Assembly of British Columbia](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Legislative-Assembly-of-British-Columbia) warning of the risk of [adverse events](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Adverse-events-associated-with-COVID-19-vaccines) associated with COVID-19 vaccines.[\[11:2\]](#fn11)[\[1:1\]](#fn1)[\[36\]](#fn36)
Nagase and the Peoples of the Salmon hosted a rally in support of Bruchet on December 12, 2021, which also featured Dr. Charles Hoffe, Stephen Malthouse, Svetlana Rikoff and David Quinn as speakers.[\[37\]](#fn37)[\[38\]](#fn38)
As of partway through December 2021, Nagase's physician profile on the CPSA website included a long list of "Conditions on Practice Permit."[\[39\]](#fn39) This included being "restricted from providing care to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 or suspected of having COVID-19," as well as mandatory disclaimers he must include whenever publicly discussing COVID-19 vaccine or ivermectin. He was also "restricted from issuing COVID-19 vaccine exemption letters" and "mask exemption letters," as well as "from prescribing and/or administering, in any manner, the prescription medication ivermectin, including human and/or veterinary versions of ivermectin." Of particular note is that he was "required by the [College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/College-of-Physicians-and-Surgeons-of-Alberta) to advise you that the accepted view of the medical profession is that vaccinations have been shown statistically to save lives and to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms. The accepted view of the medical profession is that eligible individuals should participate in a vaccination program unless for a valid religious or medical reason they cannot be vaccinated."
On January 3, 2022, Nagase appeared alongside Bruchet as a guest in a [Children's Health Defense Canada](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Childrens-Health-Defense-Canada) video discussing Bruchet's arrest,[\[40\]](#fn40) and a second such appearance on the Essential Talks podcast.[\[41\]](#fn41)
On January 22, 2022, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia changed Nagase's registration status from "active" to "out of province."[\[42\]](#fn42) His intention was to allow his registration to expire, rather than renew it. According to Nasage, the college "sent him a letter saying he would face a penalty of $100 for every month his licence was inactive unless he resigned."[\[11:3\]](#fn11) As of June 27, 2022, he is officially listed as "resigned."[\[43\]](#fn43) Similarly, on February 15, 2022, Nagase's registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta was changed to "inactive" due to "No RIF and Non-payment."[\[44\]](#fn44)
On February 2, 2022, Nagase went to the North Vancouver Provincial Court along with Popois (leader of the Peoples of the Salmon) and an unnamed “assistant” to “file aggravated assault charges” against the staff of the psychiatric facility where Bruchet was kept. The trio refused to rise for Judge Joanne Challenger, citing “Sovereign Common Law.” Nagase was reportedly ordered to leave the court, and when he declined, was forcibly detained, followed by Popois. A press release from the Peoples of the Salmon describe Nagase’s treatment as violent and unwarranted. The two men were searched, held for several hours, and then released without charge.[\[45\]](#fn45)
On September 29, 2022, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) issued a citation against Nagase in response to his statements “on or about” December 9, 2021 related to ivermectin and COVID-19 vaccines.[\[46\]](#fn46) The CPSBC noted that “at least some of these public statements” were made while “appearing in front of effigies of political figures who were hung from nooses."[\[1:2\]](#fn1) The effigies were of Premier John Horgan, Health Minister Adrian Dix and Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.[\[47\]](#fn47) He was accused of contravening "standards imposed under the *Health Professions Act,* including but not limited to the [Canadian Medical Association](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Canadian-Medical-Association)'s Code of Ethics and Professionalism."[\[36:1\]](#fn36)
Nagase agreed to a hearing February 21-24, 2023 and submitted evidence to justify his public statements. However, the CPSBC asked for an adjournment, which Nagase rejected.[\[11:4\]](#fn11) The CPSBC is reportedly attempting to reschedule the hearing.
On February 4, 2023, Nagase spoke at the Victoria Edelweiss Club for an event called "What's Up, Doc?"[\[48\]](#fn48)
On February 10, 2023, Nagase published an article criticizing Trevor Corneil of the School of Population and Public Health at the University of British Columbia (UBC).[\[49\]](#fn49)
On March 24, 2023, Nagase published an article outlining several contradictions in Dr. Robert Malone's approach to "speaking out" against COVID-19 vaccines, speculating that he may be a double or triple agent working to strategically shape the narrative in favour of the future use of mRNA vaccine technology.[\[50\]](#fn50)
On March 26, 2023, Nagase's children told him that they had been injected with "the Covid mRNA experiment" by their mother, Nagase's ex-wife.[\[3:2\]](#fn3) His 8-year-old son told Nagase via Facebook Messenger that "he didn't like it."[\[29:1\]](#fn29)
On May 4, 2023, Nagase published an article describing the death of a patient diagnosed with COVID-19\. He accused multiple doctors at the University of Alberta Hospital of homicide, including Craig Domke, Alistair Eksteen, Michael Jacka, Olivia Friesen and Brittany Kula.[\[3:3\]](#fn3)
On May 12, 2023, Nagase filed a "handwritten" notice of civil claim against the Supreme Court of British Columbia and its Master, Grant Taylor.[\[51\]](#fn51)[\[29:2\]](#fn29) He alleged that Grant "wrote an order barring Nagase from any contact" with his two children between November 2021 and November 2022, during which time they received "a prima facie medical experiment commonly known as COVID-19 vaccination."[\[52\]](#fn52) Nagase is seeking $66 million in damages.[\[53\]](#fn53) Nagase identified the jurisdiction of his claim as "Maritime Law".
Nagase testified to the [National Citizens Inquiry](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/National-Citizens-Inquiry) on May 19, 2023.[\[11:5\]](#fn11) He described the case of a patient treated by Dr. John Peachell at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital who died after being given the [Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Pfizer-BioNTech-COVID-19-vaccine).[\[54\]](#fn54)
Nagase amended his filing against the Supreme Court of British Columbia and Grant Taylor of June 6, 2023.[\[29:3\]](#fn29) Michael Kleisinger, a lawyer representing the Ministry of Attorney General, sent Nagase a letter that same day notifying him that he felt his suit was "misguided" and threatened the proper administration of justice, and that he would move to have the court strike the application. Furthermore, he advised Nagase "seek legal advice regarding this letter," the remedies described within, and "\[his\] action generally."[\[55\]](#fn55) Nagase replied by e-mail to reject Kleisinger's advice, to which Kleisinger reiterated his advice that Nagase should "seek legal advice from a practising lawyer."[\[29:4\]](#fn29)
On June 13, 2023, Nagase criticized the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) for failing to assist him in his legal efforts.[\[19:1\]](#fn19) That same day, Patrick Heinsen of law firm [Borden Ladner Gervais](https://www.whiteroseintelligence.com/Borden-Ladner-Gervais) (BLG) sent Nagase [a letter](https://ia902609.us.archive.org/35/items/2023-06-13-letter-to-d-nagase-137388242.2/2023-06-13%20Letter%20to%20D%20Nagase%28137388242.2%29.pdf) on behalf of Alberta Health Services demanding he remove his Substack articles titled "A deadly day in the ER: My thoughts on a patient’s deadly ER visit" and "The Difference Between Negligence and Homicide: a process in thought".[\[56\]](#fn56) AHS legal counsel Sarah Louw was also copied on the e-mail.[\[57\]](#fn57)
On June 23, 2023, Kleisinger filed a Notice of Application to strike Nagase's civil complaint, and schedule a hearing for July 7.[\[53:1\]](#fn53) The hearing was attended by a group of disruptive supporters of Nagase.[\[52:1\]](#fn52) Justice Margot Fleming suggested rescheduling the hearing for a later date in a smaller courtroom.
