picardonhealth Canada, Minister of health. She is not physicians, not epidemiologists, not very strong academically. She lacks the gravitas, knowledge or experience to be a leader during a deadly pandemic, while the taxpayers remain obliviously complicit cpso_ca CPHO_Canada epdevilla ONgov

picardonhealth The advisers for celliottability and fordnation are not physicians, not epidemiologists, not very strong academically. Aldasteinn Brown, is the Dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Toronto, UofT_dlsph, and Matt Anderson. He is the CEO of OntarioHealthOH

picardonhealth Flu vaccines have been compulsory for health care workers in BC for many years.

picardonhealth Yes, obviously. It’s crazy that this is even a debate.

picardonhealth The amount of sheer idiocy and disinformation showing up here is amazing. If you want to work in health care, get vaccinated or get out.

picardonhealth Yes, yes, yes!

picardonhealth No no no

picardonhealth Absolutley not! Patients, get your shot if you care. These staff devote their lives to you, let them keep their freedom and yours to decide what medical interventions are right for them.

picardonhealth HECK YES!! Why is this even a question

picardonhealth We're seriously asking this question? 🤦🏻‍♀️

picardonhealth yes,yes,yes

picardonhealth How do you geniuses justify saying someone who is vaccinated 8s any safer than someone who is not vaccinated? If they both have covid they are equally unsafe to others.

picardonhealth 100% no and if you agree you should be shunned. Natural immunity has proven to be more effective than the vaccine and someone who has had the vaccine in not safer than someone that's unvacinated. Health care workers who have had covid and no vaccine should get a raise

picardonhealth There's actually a debate about giving health care workers a forced jab in their arms, but not about health workers forcing involuntary admissions in mental health?

picardonhealth Duh 🙄

picardonhealth Unequivocally yes!

picardonhealth Does anyone in the position of being a decision maker recognize that this mandate will exacerbate the staffing shortage (crisis)?

picardonhealth Yes.

picardonhealth Yes

picardonhealth What about 1000s of candidates in EXPRESS ENTRY POOL dying each day for the information that when is the CitImmCanFR planning to resume the SKILLED WORKERS DRAWS(FSW)? marcomendicino alexanderecohen CBAImmigration , all we need is a tweet from CitImmCanada TorontoStar

picardonhealth Should not even be up for debate. If you work in Healthcare and are not vaccinated, find another line of work.

picardonhealth The painful issue here, is that we have to ask the question.

picardonhealth Yes!

picardonhealth Yep. 100% yes.

picardonhealth YES!

picardonhealth Of course!

picardonhealth They shouldn't be mandatory, also nobody is talking about naturally acquired immunity, which I'm sure alot of them already have

picardonhealth Hell yeah it should.

picardonhealth YES!

picardonhealth No

picardonhealth AHS_media Albertadoctors UnitedNurses JasonCoppingAB jkenney CMOH_Alberta for their safety, the safety of their patients, and the families they know. YES!! It's easy to get vaccinated just drop in to any of the mobile clinics listed below at calgarylibrary

picardonhealth Yes. Not sure why we're still debating this.

picardonhealth The answer is in the name of their profession/job description!

picardonhealth Yes.

picardonhealth No and no.We are not living in the third Reich.

picardonhealth This should have been a NO brainer. Why its a discussion, is only because the politicians are afraid they will loose the endorsements of the unions in the provincial election fordnation

Internetbiz911 picardonhealth 💯😷💉

picardonhealth Absolutely.

picardonhealth Yes!

picardonhealth For anyone having contact with patients, yes. No question.

picardonhealth Of course they should. You have vulnerable people being cared for!

Yes

picardonhealth They shouldn't be mandatory for anyone.

picardonhealth Yes

picardonhealth Of course.. why as a news outlet, would you feed the unvaxxed idiots?

picardonhealth No

picardonhealth They shouldn't be mandatory. Anywhere.

...it's confusing why this would even be a debate...
