On September 10 a Canadian physician name Crystal Luchkiw testified at the Allison Inquiry on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, which convened to assemble information on the adverse consequences reported by people who received one or more of the COVID-19 “vaccines”.
Dr. Luchkiw’s testimony was very different from that of Dr. Hoffe or Dr. Thorp. She is a family physician, a hospitalist who specializes in palliative care, but she testified at the inquiry on behalf of her brother Scott, who experienced severe adverse effects from two doses of the COVID “vaccine”, and died this past summer before he himself could testify.
Dr. Luchkiw’s account of what happened to Scott is heart-rending. He was a healthy man with a wife and two kids, but the “safe and effective” vax gave him acute myocarditis. At first his heart function was reduced to 10% of what it had been, and then eventually it disappeared completely.
After at first being stonewalled about the connection with the vax, it was officially acknowledged that the mRNA shot had caused his condition. His family was financially compensated for his illness and death, but it was a relatively meager amount, given the enormity of what had happened to him and those who survived him.
In her own practice, Dr. Luchkiw refused to follow the COVID protocols demanded by the Canadian state. She wrote COVID medical exemptions for her patients, and also refused to surrender her patients’ private medical records. For those sins her license to practice medicine was revoked. It still has not been restored.

Scott
Scott Luchkiw was healthy. In 2019, he had gone to the hospital with heart palpitations during a difficult period in his life. They ran an echocardiogram. His heart was completely normal: good function, normal anatomy, no damage. It turned out to be anxiety and stress. The baseline was established. His heart was fine.
He needed the vaccine to keep his job. Crystal, a physician, had already discussed emerging safety concerns with him, including the early signals in the scientific literature about myocarditis. He got his first dose in April or May of 2021.
Approximately four weeks later, he was cooking in his kitchen when he collapsed. He passed out cold. He hit the floor. The oven glass broke. He does not know how long he was unconscious. There were no warning signs. Just lights out.
Crystal told him to call 911. In a healthy, active person, she explained, a syncopal episode is cardiac until proven otherwise. She asked the hospital to check his heart with an ultrasound or echocardiogram, specifically looking for myocarditis or pericarditis, because the safety signals were already emerging.
The hospital did blood work and an ECG. They would not look at his heart. They told him it was “highly unlikely” to be related to the vaccine. They sent him home with a referral to an outpatient cardiologist.
Six weeks later, the cardiologist did an echocardiogram. Before the results came back, he told Scott it was “highly unlikely” to be vaccine-related and cleared him for the second dose. Scott got the second shot two weeks after that appointment.
Only afterward did they discover that the echocardiogram had already shown significant impairment in his heart function. The test that would have revealed the damage was on file before the cardiologist cleared him for the second dose. He was given a second dose of a product that had already injured his heart, by a doctor who had the evidence in his hands and did not read it.
On September 10, 2021, Scott was at a baseball game. His children, Gail, age 10, and Olivia, age 8, were in the car. His game had finished. He stayed to help scorekeep the next game. While sitting on the bench, he turned gray. He slumped over. He fell to the ground. Nobody could feel a heartbeat. Someone ran a kilometer to get a defibrillator while they did CPR. His children watched from the car.
He was taken to the Ottawa Heart Institute. Severe myocarditis. Heart function at 10 percent. Seven days in the cardiac ICU. A defibrillator and pacemaker were implanted.
The damage was permanent. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle itself, and the scar tissue that forms from this inflammation disrupts the heart’s electrical conduction. The defibrillator does not repair that. It shocks the heart back into rhythm when the scarring causes it to short-circuit.
