Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• Many Canadians suffer from long COVID, post-vaccine injuries, and related conditions without adequate medical support, recognition, or access to care;
• There are significant gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and research, leaving individuals without proper assistance;
• Long COVID and related conditions can severely impair the ability to work, maintain financial stability, and participate in daily life; and
• Current federal programs do not sufficiently address the needs of Canadians whose lives have been permanently altered by these health challenges.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to 1. Hold a national inquiry into Canada’s pandemic response, focusing on the long-term effects of long COVID and post-vaccine injuries and their impact on individuals, families, and daily life; 2. Develop national standards for diagnosis, care pathways, and clinical guidelines to ensure access to: proper medical care beyond symptom management, disability support that meets actual needs, mental health counseling, financial assistance for treatments and daily living expenses, increase public awareness of long COVID as a debilitating condition to prevent dismissal and stigmatization, support families and caregivers, recognizing that caring for someone with long COVID affects their health, financial stability, and ability to work or participate fully in family life; and 3. Note that current disability, medical, and financial support programs are insufficient and many long COVID patients spend hundreds of dollars monthly on essential treatments just to maintain basic mobility and daily function.
