Abortion is between a woman and her doctor. People who refuse to get vaccinated are endangering 37 million in Canada. A person going around unvaccinated is like carrying a concealed gun. It's an act of psychological aggressiveness and irresponsibility that could at any time become physically harmful to anybody.

Furthermore anti-vaxxers are not being "scapegoated". They are free to do what they want until they endanger others. They are fortunate they are not fined or criminally charged. There are many minorities in Canada who ARE scapegoats. To draw an equivalency between a deliberately unvaccinated person and a person designated as a scapegoat by traditional discrimination over hundreds of years, such as an Indigenous person, a Jewish person, or a black person, is to minimize their suffering as real scapegoats at the hands of Canadians.

I just want to add this: there are countless dozens and dozens of injustices, prejudices, discriminations, and oppressions the rich and powerful in the right wing power structure use to abuse vulnerable Canadians on the lower half of the social economic ladder and keep the work force submissively obedient. The worst, in my estimation, is the inability of the majority of Canadians to obtain representation by a lawyer or obtain help from an MP or MLA. That, in itself, negates the quaint notion that Canada is a democracy. In comparison, the dangerous desire to refuse vaccination is a triviality that should not be tolerated by all Canadians working to make Canada safe, democratic, just, equal, socially harmonious, kind, friendly, generous, and a proponent of world peace.

Well, well, well. All the pathetic arguments based on overheated hyperbole by the well-healed neo-Marxists in our midst come to the fore. Quite remarkable, how seemingly intelligent people are so swift to embrace collectivist tripe. If it's some sort of authoritarian state of being you crave, book a flight to Peking. And good riddance, you don't deserve a genuine democracy.
