Instead of evaluating the evidence, a Hamilton judge “embarked on a lengthy discussion about whose materials were more thought-provoking, which has no bearing at all on whether the respondent’s materials were admissible.”
erred in relying heavily on the anti-vaccine posts the woman submitted to the court — “nothing but something someone wrote and published on the internet,” Ontario’s top court ruled Friday.
The father, identified only as C.G., argued in court last year that there’s no medical reason not to vaccinate the children. The mother, identified as J.N., argued there was sufficient doubt about the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness. The children said they did not want to be vaccinated. The top court found that Pazaratz placed far more weight on the mother’s submissions than on the father’s, who had presented information from Health Canada and the Canadian Paediatric Society showing that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, including for children.
In his initial ruling, Pazaratz described the father as “dogmatic, intolerant and paternalistic,” while saying that the mother’s sources were “qualified and reputable.” “Instead of engaging in an analysis of the evidence presented, he embarked on a lengthy discussion about whose materials were more thought-provoking, which has no bearing at all on whether the respondent’s materials were admissible and should be given any weight.”
