Anti-vaxxers COVID

Léger: Anti-vaxxers are at war with the system, not COVID

“Everyone wants restrictions to end in order to live normally and freely again. The difference is that we believe in science and trust the judgement of public health to decide when.”

Léger President Jean-Marc Léger released a statement earlier this week on anti-vaxxers and COVID, timed with the trucker convoy protest happening in Ottawa calling for an end to all mandates and restrictions. While Léger confirmed that everyone wants to see restrictions end and normal life resume, those who believe in science realize that public health gets to decide, not us.

“Anti-vaxxers are at war with the system rather than COVID. Everyone wants restrictions to end in order to live normally and freely again. The difference is that we believe in science and trust the judgement of public health to decide when.”

Jean-Marc Léger also shared an editorial cartoon by Drew Sheneman showing a woman yelling at a man on a ventilator, saying “Wake up! We decided COVID is over!”
