"The enemy is not vaccination. The enemy is COVID-19 and the best tool to fight this enemy is to be vaccinated," he said during a public health briefing Friday morning.
Some of those tied to the protest have vowed to stay until all vaccine mandates are repealed or the government somehow resigns.While a few convoy vehicles have started lining the streets near Parliament Hill already, organizers say most of the convoy will arrive Saturday morning. Sloly described the situation as "unique, fluid, risky and significant" and said police and security resources, including cameras, will be bolstered throughout the downtown.
No one is saying vaccines are the enemy. We are saying mandates are the enemy. Get it straight CBC and stop lying to people
This is a ridiculous and unscientific statement. The vaccine reduces hospitalizations and deaths, it does NOT appreciably reduce transmission of Omicron or Delta. The mandates are purely theater now.
Maybe not the enemy but our charter of rights protected people and the liberals are starting to become like Russia taking away rights and doing what they please
90% did and still got locked down
The only way we get through this pandemic is if the government understands lockdowns don't work. Get vaccinated if you want to get vaccinated. If not, that's your choice. CHOICE. Our choice, your choice, not the governments
Yeah cause that worked before lol. People are starting to wake up. When is everyone hoing to wake up?
They are protesting Trudeau's infringement upon their freedoms. Stop destroying our canadian values for a vaccine THAT DOES NOT WORK ANYWAYS
No it isn't ,aren't you watching
It is good to reinforce the msg of vaccines, but it is also crucial to open the country and get back to normal.
We understand now there is frustration around COVID-19, but we also know that ONE OF THE WAYS to exit COVID-19 is to get vaccinated IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO
Where are the other variants now? Omicron 99% (common cold) immune to current vaccines...They just waited for the viruses to die down to end the Pandemic. These Trial Vaccines were NOT the solution? We lived 2 years of Hell due to ignorance & misinformation
This will be a super spreader. Get down there Ford, Otoole, Kenney! Enjoy!
Keep pushing that message but after 2+ years nothing has changed. Keep doing the same thing expecting different results doesn't work.
Don’t think they are against the vaccine just the lockdown and passports
This isnt a protest about vacines . Haven't you caught on yet or do you have your government prepared scripts in front of you for today?
The CBC is owned by Trudeau and the Liberals mediacoverage
Clearly, it's not frustration around Covid, it's frustration around mandates.
Still locked down with 80+% vaccinations. Stop spreading lies, the way out of it is to except it as a endemic virus. And carry on with our lives already.
The vaccine is the only enemy, as it is a bio weapon
The USA is the enemy that can be defeated naturally and lovingly
The truth is that there is a more powerful and effective natural cure for virus infection that needs to be done worldwide! High vitamin C level in your body!
CBC is the scum of the earth, turning comments off to censor anyone they can that has a different option. They want maximum control over the narrative. Game over for media and governmental over reach. Rip cbc
Lol how the hell can anyone still believe that?
How you still get it and pass it being vaccinated!!!
A vaccine that doesn’t work. Masks haven’t stopped anything and lock downs that do more harm then good. This isn’t a health minister it is a crimininster !
So you’ll allow the health minister to spread false information, but when real scientists tell the truth they get silenced. Vaccine is not stopping omicron, so how is the vaccine the only way out? Where’s your bullshit fact checkers here DefundCBC
The only way out, eh? If that were true, we would be out of it already. We already have one of the highest vaccination rates of the world. And the most in hospital last week in Ontario (by their stats) were vaccinated. Not the way out, the way out is openup
90% vaccinated, these people will never let this end. They absolutely obsessed with destroying peoples lives!
CBC, you do not represent Canada or Canadians! The world knows it. CBC knows it. Captured estates will soon end their reach inside the minds and hearts of this beautiful nation. Sorry, CBC! You are on the wrong side of history!
Lies, lies, and more lies!
Dems Berta boys
still nope...
How to tell you're full of lies. Turn comments off.
I say we rally against our government controlled news outlets after we get our freedom back. It's obvious we cannot trust them anymore with Canadians best interests in mind... DefundCBC
I’ve noticed the majority of people still pushing this crap are reporters being paid by the liberals to keep up the propaganda. Pushing ineffective vaccines, even on children. Shameful.
I would like a complete and transparent accounting of investments by politicians pushing vaccines. If any have shares in pharma they should recuse themselves from the conversation. Same for medical professionals.
WRONG. Vaxxed, tested, AND quarantined but virus still got through. The real question is why are politicians still pushing this rhetoric?
He is missing the point 🤔
Dr. Malone, Pfizer CEO and most scientists agree that vaccines DO NOT work against omicron. Why on earth would any science table recommend vaccines that don’t work and recommend them to children when the risk far outweighs the benefit. No more mandates! Everyone back to work!
We are vaccinated everyone who wants one. So why are there still mandates FFS
Open up. Move on. Enough
And yet there are those triple vaccinated, with co morbidities that are dying. Yes get vaccinated… but we NEED other measures!
Funny I seen a video today of filming a anti mandate rally only filming a couple people passing by to make it look like there was no one there . Behind them were were a couple thousand people but they didn't want to show that . Believe nothing the media is telling us
🤦♀️
His kids are vaxed he's vaxed why does his kid have it? And why does the coward have to isolate? He said it would protect against the virus. And why is this non doctor or scientist telling us this?
So sick and tired of this never ending refrain by govt
Ppl are vaccinated.. stop your bullshit about 'the best tool'. Make a good vaccine that works
Why is the vaccine manufacturers not releasing the raw data from the trials We the public need it
Lockdowns are the enemy
Vaccine won’t end the pandemic. Sorry. Global Inequity barred the inoculation dream. Yes they work. But variants will emerge due to the west/south divide.
Vaccine is not the solution, absolutely!
Haha Trudeau is advertising that 3 shots isn't even enough hahahaha
The new agencies must understand that a large part of our population is tired with the mandate and why are the news agencies not covering this aspect ?
When are we going to talk about funding hospitals , paying health care workers properly ?
CBC trying to control the narrative. The majority of Canadians are vaccinated. We have done our part. The govt had 2 years to put a plan into place. More people died in Canada from overdoses than Covid ! Fix the healthcare system .
So the vaccines are stopping the spread then? USA CDC confirms natural immunity robust and longer lasting than jabs alone. Even the most vulnerable are at a smaller risk than previously stated...
Trudeau & cabinet just resign your no longer welcome in Ottawa
That’s just factually incorrect.
Someone described CBC as legacy media … I think that’s giving the Propaganda mouth piece way too much credit.
turbothisc HAHAHAHAH look at the FAKE NEWS. Understand this, you don’t dictate what we do. FREEDOM
😂
It would seem the only way to get around covid is to actually get it. The vaccines are worthless.
Welcome to Ottawa, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers!
Vaccines are NOT the enemy but the mandates are not our friends....
It’s like a cult.
Now Now you understand this? It took you two years? Lightening speed there dude. Back when Costco was packed and main Street was closed? You didn't clue in then? Or on lockdown number 5? Not then either?
Then why close arenas to fans if you have to be vaccinated to enter,play and/or work there? Either it works and we’re all good or your full of shit. And something is starting to smell !!
Over 80% of the country is vaxxed and they're all still getting it, they're still being hospitalized, they're still dieing. Wtf are you talking about?
Even the health minister clueless. First of surprise most of truckers are fully vaccinated. We all should now by now vaccine no matter which doesnt prevent spread. How every still hatefull comments by blind sheep do biding for their tyrannicle bureaucrats.
He's wasting his time talking to these trilobites.
Or we can simply get rid of this government.
South Africa and India have exited with low vax rates? Duclos must be wrong
These protestors don't care what the issue is, as long as they can protest. If the borders were open, they would be protesting to close the borders, just like they did a few months ago. But, it does provide some comedy, just like Trump did.
Wrong we are sick of the lies only way out is government stop the mandates and tyranny
🇨🇦Fully Vaccinated/Boosted. Keeping me and everyone around me safe 🥰💉👍👍👍🇨🇦
In a crowd of 1,000 there might be one extremist. If the media likes your politics they will concentrate on the 999 who are not extremist, and call them activists, not protesters. If the media doesn't like you they will concentrate on the one extremist.
Stop lying. We now know that BOTH the vaccinated and unvaccinated spread the virus. It is a fact.
We will never build our immunities to this or any other future virus by staying locked up and away from people. For vaccines to work properly, we need exposure to each other.
Still going with that? Unattached scientists have been saying all along we can't vaccinate our way out of this. I'm living in a province with a 94 percent vac rate and we are in the throes of omnicron.
CBC going ahead and promoting the Minister’s obviously duplicitous comments about the “vaccine not being the enemy”. Nobody in the protest is vilifying the vaccine, they are protesting the mandates. More division, info manipulation and wedge politics from the Trudeau cabinet.
The pandemic lifted a veil, exposing the willful ignorance of our society. They ignore science. And when a science-denier dies from that ignorance, they ignore that too.
Shocked that someone with intelligence could make such a vacuous statement. 1st. People aren't frustrated with a virus but the authoritarian response to it. 2nd. Knowledge refers to past experience. This is a brand new scenario so how could anyone have knowledge about ending it?
jyduclos is being dishonest. He knows 100% vaccination is impossible. In every country there will always be a % of people who can't or won't be vaccinated. And most of the unvaccinated are minorities & economically poor people.
I'm fully vaccinated and will continue to get boosters BY CHOICE, in a democratic society. This is nonsense and actually isn't following science. I will continue to not judge others for making different choices than myself. If you're not a criminal, you're cool with me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How in the fuck are these people not up to date on research? This is mind-boggling...
Vaccination isn't getting us through this. That is overwhelmingly evident at this stage.
Heck if all the truckers were heading to Ottawa to get the vaccine I might actually support them. But they're not. So F them.
🤡
Well at least he’s flexible in his single solution or nothing approach. Keeping the dictatorship alive.
if the vax worked as advertised you might have a point.
