Doesn’t like notes

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
