Allan Rouben

Afternoon, can we get your full name please?

Dan Hartman

Dan Hartman, D-A-N H-A-R-T-M-A-N.

Allan Rouben

And you swear that the evidence you will be giving will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Dan Hartman

I can’t hear you very well.

Allan Rouben

Do you swear that the evidence you’ll be giving will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

Dan Hartman

Yes.

Allan Rouben

So tell us a little bit about yourself.

Dan Hartman

My son Sean played hockey his whole life. It was his love, it was his passion, it was his favorite thing in the world. And to continue to play hockey in 2021, he had to be vaccinated. Sean’s biggest fear in the world was needles. He was terrified of them. It was his biggest fear. But he wanted to play the game he loved, so he took the vaccine. Four days after that he went to the hospital, to emergency. He had brown circles around his eyes. He was vomiting. He had a rash and an extremely sore shoulder opposite to his injection shoulder.

The doctor failed to do any blood work, he didn’t do a D-dimer, he didn’t do a troponin test. He gave him Advil and sent him home. On September 26, 2021, Sean went to play hockey that night, and everything seemed okay. He came home and went to bed. And on the morning of September 27, Sean was found dead on the floor beside his bed.

Allan Rouben

How old was he?

Dan Hartman

He was 17.

Allan Rouben

Tell us a little bit about your son.

Dan Hartman

The most beautiful boy I ever met, not just because he was my son. He was very polite. He was very respectable. He never back-talked me once. I never heard him swear once. He never had a drop of alcohol in his life, never had a cigarette. He loved watching movies. He loved music. He used to love wrestling so much when he was a little kid.  He was just such a great kid, almost like an angel that’s how special he was.

Allan Rouben

Did he have some idea as to what he wanted to do?

Dan Hartman

Well, he wanted to make the NHL hopefully someday, but he also knew that’s a long shot. So he actually considered being an NHL referee just so he could be around the game.

Allan Rouben

What happened after he passed away?

Dan Hartman

I had to wait three long months for autopsy results. They did a complete autopsy with genetic testing and toxicology. And the cause of death is unascertained. They can’t tell me why he died. They have no explanation why he died.

Allan Rouben

And what did you do next? What did you do next after that in that regard?

Dan Hartman

What did I do next?

Allan Rouben

Yeah, insofar as that conclusion was concerned.

Dan Hartman

I started a Twitter page to get support because I was completely lost and didn’t know where to turn. And I’ve met some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life who support me and help me get through this. It’s really hard though, every day is so hard. The hardest part for me is sleeping. I wake up every hour. I cry multiple times a day. I’m a truck driver, so I’m alone with my thoughts all day and I think about Sean so much. I can’t listen to songs on the radio anymore. There’s a whole list of songs I can’t hear. And I’m taking anti-depressants and I’m in grief counselling now with other parents who have lost their children.

I will never do Christmas ever again. Christmas means nothing to me now. I will never see Sean get married. I will never meet what would have been his beautiful wife. I won’t have any grandkids, ever. I can’t live with the cause of death being unascertained because, in my opinion, the vaccine killed my son.

[00:05:00]

There’s no other logical explanation. He was a perfectly healthy boy with no underlying conditions. And now I have to live without the most important person of my life. And every day is pure hell. Every hour, the only time I’m not in pain is when I go to sleep.

Allan Rouben

Tell us a little bit about the community of other parents that you have joined up with.

Dan Hartman

I speak with five other sets of parents around the world, who all lost their child after this vaccine. And all have cause of death unascertained, same as me. And some people think we’re lying and they don’t believe us and they think it can’t be the vaccine.

Well, Dr. Ryan Cole from America has agreed to help me. He has Sean’s tissue samples and he’s one of only a handful of pathologists in this world who can prove vaccine death. And he’s going to prove it for me. And I can’t wait to tell all the people who doubted me that I was right. My gut feeling about Sean is right. I know it is.

Allan Rouben

And how did you get introduced to Dr. Cole?

Dan Hartman

Through my Twitter page. That’s what led me to him. And I was watching so many videos of him explaining— It’s very strange that Canadian pathologists aren’t doing tests to determine vaccine death. To do that, you have to stain slides and you have to look for spike protein. Dr. Cole has even told me he’s offered to teach our pathologists how to do it, they just have to get in touch with him.  It’s a complex procedure but he knows how to do it. And I am quite confident that he’s going to tell me that Sean died from the vaccine.

Allan Rouben

And you’re awaiting his results as we sit here today.

Dan Hartman

Sorry, what was that?

Allan Rouben

You’re awaiting his results as we sit here today.

Dan Hartman

Yes. He said it won’t be too long because he’s already done some initial testing. I can’t discuss what has been found yet, but when the time comes, I will.

Allan Rouben

Thank you. Are there any questions from the commissioners? Just to wrap up, is there anything else you want to tell us about your son and your situation?

Dan Hartman

He was the reason I woke up every morning. He was the reason I went to work. I’ve been a truck driver for 18 years and I used to love my job. And now I hate going. I don’t even care anymore. Sean was so special. It’s so hard to describe. He wasn’t like other kids. He was a shy boy, but such a good heart. He wouldn’t have hurt anybody. And he was my only son and he was my reason, my love. And now he’s gone. I believe they took him from me. I believe my son was murdered.

Allan Rouben

We’re very sorry for your loss.

Dan Hartman

Sorry?

Allan Rouben

We’re very sorry for your loss.

Dan Hartman

Thank you.

Allan Rouben

You’re welcome.

Summary

Dan’s 17 year old son, Sean, loved playing hockey, so much so that he wanted to make it to the NHL as a referee. During the pandemic, in order to continue playing he needed to be vaccinated. Sean got the vaccine. Four days later he went to emergency with a sore shoulder, vomiting, rash and dark circles around the eyes. No blood work, D-dimer or troponin tests were done. He was given Advil and sent home. On 26 September 2021 he went to play hockey, came home and went to bed. The next morning he was found dead in his room.

The autopsy results note the cause of death as unascertained. Dan started a Twitter page and get support and has found support from other parents who also have lost a child after this vaccine. He is in touch with Dr. Ryan Cole, who is going to do the tests needed to determine if Sean died from the vaccine.

Dan stated: “I believe my son was murdered”.
