00:00:00.000 mandatory vaccines for COVID-19 all across Canada is that something that's going to fly is that
00:00:11.860 something that you would support federal health minister Jean-Yves Duclos speaking on Friday
00:00:16.440 says the time has now come to start moving in that direction to have that discussion he says
00:00:21.900 that the federal government should be having that discussion in concert with the provinces
00:00:25.880 moving forward that soon they're going to have to head in that direction now he didn't make any
00:00:31.220 specific suggestions or proposals of what such a policy would look like there are a couple countries
00:00:36.140 that are doing this already and what they do is they find people who are not being vaccinated is
00:00:41.560 that something that'll be proposed what about the criteria for what actually counts as being
00:00:46.580 vaccinated what do they actually want you to do is this just saying that people who have no vaccines
00:00:50.640 have to get one dose or two doses or is it mandating a third shot that those Canadians who were led to
00:00:56.700 believe that all they had to do is become quote-unquote fully vaccinated with the two doses
00:01:01.380 and then there would never be any lockdowns again well would they be included in this mandate that is
00:01:06.500 under I guess temporary discussion at least from the feds good questions we don't know the answers
00:01:11.480 but if they do continue with this conversation it'll be interesting to see what they put forward maybe
00:01:16.560 they won't continue with the conversation though because there's already pushback from some senior
00:01:20.840 figures Alberta Premier Jason Kenney already saying uh-uh ain't gonna fly we don't want this happening
00:01:27.520 here in Alberta so it'll be interesting to see what the responses are from various other politicians
00:01:33.000 one also wonders what Canadians are going to be thinking about all of this because I think there's a lot
00:01:38.700 of frustration from those who did go out and get vaccinated being told do your part once you do this
00:01:44.660 this is all over but I happened to notice a tweet recently from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:01:49.200 saying all right folks all you need to do is get your booster shot and then we can put all of this
00:01:53.900 behind us and that's how we get over the pandemic oh okay but that's exactly what you said earlier prior
00:02:00.140 to boosters in terms of just the first and second doses so I'm not so sure people are going to be so
00:02:05.660 agreeable that that that pledge is an accurate one that it's actually going to be delivered upon
00:02:10.940 and then you also have people looking at the data and going I don't even know what's really going on
00:02:15.960 right now when it comes to vaccinated unvaccinated persons and the hospitalization numbers there was
00:02:20.660 a period where people were calling COVID-19 pandemic of the unvaccinated but if you look at the numbers
00:02:27.060 right now it's telling a different story actually Jean-Yves Duclos when he gave that very press conference
00:02:32.160 when he was speaking about this issue he said one of the reasons uh why making vaccines mandatory
00:02:36.820 should come to pass is because 50 percent of the Quebec COVID hospitalizations are among the
00:02:42.100 unvaccinated you go okay like I guess proportionally speaking that's a lot but at the same time the way
00:02:49.400 we were previously talking about the vaccines we were led to believe it would be like a hundred percent
00:02:53.000 of the people in hospital with COVID uh would be unvaccinated now 50 percent so people are kind of
00:03:00.220 looking at the breakdown and going I'm not so sure I think a lot of people are tempering the the
00:03:06.180 aggressiveness with which they are now going to go after the unvaccinated Prime Minister Justin
00:03:11.100 Gideau seem like he's really enjoying making them scapegoats and there's been a lot of attention to
00:03:16.400 recent media appearance where he said some really odd things saying that they're that they're racist
00:03:20.880 that they're misogynistic I recorded a podcast episode with a nurse in Ontario she'd been a nurse
00:03:25.920 for many years and she did not want to get vaccinated and she was like go because she was not vaccinated now
00:03:31.800 whatever you think of that issue maybe you believe she should have just gone and gotten the vaccine
00:03:35.960 we had a long conversation and at no point did I hear her say anything misogynistic or racist so
00:03:41.460 Justin Trudeau kind of going on overkill in that whole direction and I think it's just going to
00:03:46.060 make people look at the mandatory vaccine issue and go even if they themselves are vaccinated like the
00:03:50.940 vast majority of Canadians are even if they're supportive and encouraging of other people getting
00:03:54.980 vaccinated which the vast majority of Canadians are this whole pushing towards the mandatory stuff
00:04:00.200 I don't know I'm not so sure if they're going to be all that supportive of it
00:04:03.640 you
