The claim
Several doctors in Toronto died within a short period of time - reportedly from the fourth COVID-19 vaccination.
Our conclusion
This vaccination is not mandatory in Ontario, but voluntary for certain risk groups, which none of the doctors belonged to. The true causes of the doctors' deaths are known.
For anti-vaxxers, there currently only seems to be one way to die: the COVID-19 vaccination. It doesn't matter at all whether the cause of death is not (yet) clear or is never published (surprise: many surviving relatives don't have the urge to throw the deceased's medical records into the public because they have completely different problems) - that Vaccination is almost always to blame.
This was also the case with the three doctors at a hospital in Toronto who actually died within a week - but not from vaccinations .
The claim
The Trillium Health Partners hospital in Toronto announced on Twitter that the three doctors had died:
“It is with deep sorrow that THP mourns the loss of three of our physicians who recently passed away.
Source: Twitter
Dr. Jakub Sawicki, Dr. Stephen McKenzie and Dr. Lorne Segall were distinguished physicians who dedicated their lives to the care of their patients and the community.”
The deaths of three doctors within a short period of time is an unfortunate coincidence... or not a coincidence, according to anti-vaxxers who seem to have known the cause of death before the hospital even publicly announced the deaths.

“ #suddenandunexpected “THREE doctors at Trillium Health Partners-Mississauga Hospital died suddenly within a week, apparently after receiving the last prescribed booster. The cause of death has not yet been announced.”

Is the fourth COVID-19 vaccination required in the Canadian province of Ontario?
According to the German tweet and the English tweet linked therein, the three doctors died after the mandatory fourth COVID-19 vaccination.
However, the fourth vaccination is voluntary in Ontario and is only recommended for certain groups.
The Government of Ontario recommends the 4th dose of vaccine (2nd booster dose) only for certain groups (see HERE ):
- People aged 60 and older
- Indigenous people (First Nation), Inuit and Métis or a non-Indigenous household member aged 18 or over
- Residents of long-term care homes/retirement homes/senior care lodges or older adults living in other community facilities that provide assisted living/healthcare services
- moderately to severely immunocompromised people
None of the deceased doctors belonged to one or more of these groups.
Quite apart from the fact that the fourth COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory in Ontario and has only been possible there since July 14th: the vaccination status of the doctors is not specified anywhere and it is quite unlikely that, even though they did not belong to a risk group, despite being one of the first to receive the second booster dose.
Doctors' causes of death
The hospital did not disclose the doctors' causes of death (which they are not allowed to do) - proof enough for opponents of vaccination that something is being "hidden" and therefore only the COVID-19 vaccination is considered as the cause of death.
However, the causes of death are known from other sources!
- Dr. Jakub Sawicki
His widow Iris Sawicki set up a donation page (see HERE , archived HERE ) on which she indirectly mentions the cause of death as cancer. The donations will be used to establish a scholarship for future medical students in her late husband's name.
In an interview with CTV News Toronto was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in August 2021, just two weeks after the birth of their son
- Dr. Stephen McKenzie
The cause of death was not disclosed. According to McKenzie's office, he had been " seriously ill " before his death and his office was permanently closed. The nature of his illness was not disclosed.
- Dr. Lorne Segall
An obituary for the doctor appeared online (see HERE ). It says he died “ after a ridiculously unfair and hard-fought year-long battle with advanced lung cancer .”
- Dr. Paul Davidson Hannam
English-speaking opponents of vaccination also mention this doctor, who also recently died. In addition to being a doctor, Hannam was an Olympian who competed in marathons around the world throughout his life. His obituary (see HERE and HERE ) states that he sudden heart failure during a run.
Unfortunately, this death is not uncommon; according to one study, the number of sudden deaths among young and fit athletes more than quadrupled between 1980 and 2006 - and Hannam was already 50.
He also died on July 16, just two days after the fourth vaccination was available in Ontario. Even if he had received a fourth COVID-19 vaccination on the first day without belonging to a risk group, he would certainly not be running a long-distance run or marathon just two days later.
Summary
The claim that the doctors died shortly after the fourth COVID-19 vaccination has no basis: the fourth vaccination is not mandatory in Ontario, but is only suggested to certain risk groups, none of the doctors were in the risk groups, two of the doctors clearly could Cancer was determined to be the cause of death, one was diagnosed with a serious illness, and in a fourth it was sudden heart failure.
