 ===== History =====
+==== Ebola ====
+PHAC's [[rVSV-ZEBOV-G]] candidate vaccine for [[Ebola]] was the subject of an August 2014 development funding agreement between the [[Defense Threat Reduction Agency]] (DTRA) and [[pharmaceutical_companies:BioProtection Systems]].((Link, G. (2014, August 5). //NewLink Genetics Corporation, Through Its Wholly Owned Subsidiary, BioProtection Systems Corporation, Secures a Letter Contract From the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for Testing and Evaluation of Ebola Virus Vaccine.// Lumos Pharma. https://archive.ph/kNgC6)) Dr. [[Robert Malone]] was tapped by the DTRA to lead the program.((//The Team.// Atheric Pharmaceutical. Retrieved July 14, 2017, from https://web.archive.org/web/20170714055404/http://www.atheric.com/team)) ((Malone, R. W. (2017, March). //RWM CV.// Squarespace. https://web.archive.org/web/20230119104151/https://static1.squarespace.com/static/550b0ac4e4b0c16cdea1b084/t/58e5406b5016e1f1acacae75/1491419246742/RWM+CV+March+2017.pdf))
 ==== COVID-19 ====
 Throughout the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], PHAC accessed data from some 33 million Canadian cell phones in order to track the movements of Canadians while under [[lockdown]] measures.((Oli, S. (2021, December 27). //Canada’s public health agency admits it tracked 33 million mobile devices during lockdown.// National Post. https://archive.ph/QxghQ)) In March 2021, the Agency awarded a contract to the [[TELUS|Telus Data For Good]] program to provide “de-identified and aggregated data” of movement trends in Canada. However, Telus was not the only third party involved; in May 2022, it was revealed that [[artificial intelligence]] company [[BlueDot]] had also been awarded a similar contract, and had used the data accessed to view a detailed snapshot of people's behaviour, including visits to the grocery store, gatherings with family and friends, time spent at home and trips to other towns and provinces.((Woolf, M. (2022, May 5). //Canadians’ trips to liquor stores, pharmacies tracked via phones during pandemic.// CP24. https://archive.ph/0r1ai)) ((Kelly, P. (2022). //Collection and use of mobility data by the Government of Canada and related issues.// House of Commons Canada. https://web.archive.org/web/20220726004633/https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/441/ETHI/Reports/RP11736929/ethirp04/ethirp04-e.pdf))
+In March 2023, PHAC disclosed 1000+ pages of documents in response to a request under the [[freedom_of_information|Access to Information and Privacy Act]] (ATIP) related to [[ivermectin]] and [[hydroxychloroquine]].((//ReleasePackage - PHAC- A-2021-000129 - 2022-04-12.// (2023, March 15).
