The correct answer here is fuck no! Only a Nazi sympathizer would agree with this bullshit!
Not everyone needs to be vaccinated. Some people have natural immunity which is better than vaccination. There is no real risk from unvaccinated people because everyone can still spread the virus, vaccinated or not. The vaccine passports are being pushed by the World Health Organization. WHO, 2 years into the pandemic, still hasn't done any real research into natural immunity. I will be fighting the vaccine mandates through the Human Rights Commission. People can take personal steps to protect themselves from Covid but unvaccinated people shouldn't be forced out of society. EVERYONE still spreads the virus but ONLY unvaccinated people can't attend events or eat in restaurants. It doesn't make any sense, the vaccine is only 40-60% effective and limits YOUR symptoms if you get covid. You can take your Nazi-style vaccinated/unvaccinated lists and shove them somewhere unpleasant. Bill C-21 prevents people from taking part in society? Sounds like the same thing you are promoting fo
The election before this I did phone banking for an NDP candidate. The NDP is no longer a party I can support. The vaccine mandates & passports and their support for Bills C-10 & C-36 were absolutely against my beliefs. The Conservatives were the only major party not supporting the censorship Bills, but they supported vaccine mandates. The only party that didn't support vaccine mandates was the PPC. I didn't vote but I still believe that the government should NOT be able to force me to take a vaccine that was created in 2020 and has no long-term research into the side effects in humans.
