Dear Editor:
Ontarians now required to provide proof of vaccination for restaurants, bars, gyms – 680news.com, Sept. 22.
TTC announce mandatory vaccination policy for employees as of Oct. 30 – toronto.citynews.ca, Sept. 7.
RBC makes COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for all employees – toronto.ctvnews.ca, Aug. 20.
Workers who resist vaccine mandates may not be eligible for EI, according to feds – ctvnews.ca, Oct. 21.
Editor’s note: No one is being “forced to take the vaccine against their will.” – Wellington Advertiser, Oct. 21.
Looking at the headlines, I shake my head when I hear it said people aren’t forced to get vaccinated when headlines suggest “anti-vaxxers” are looking at mandatory “re-education” or facing other employer discipline including termination for not complying. And now, no EI benefits if you are terminated.
I guess you mean that people aren’t strapped to a table and “forced” to take the vaccine, but I think your editor’s note needs work.
Jason Gibbs,
Rockwood
