If this isn't tyranny, my dudes, what is?
Provincial health officials have identified faith-based gatherings as sources of a large number of recent cases in a surge of COVID-19 infections in New Brunswick.
The government's website listing possible COVID-19 exposures lists more than a half-dozen churches in locations around the province.
Premier Blaine Higgs said Monday that Health Minister Dorothy Shephard has met with several faith-based organizations since last week to work with them on ensuring a 90-per cent vaccination rate among their members.
The 90 per cent figure is the number Higgs identified as the province's new target for full vaccinations.
Higgs said he expects faith organizations to adhere to New Brunswick's incoming proof of vaccine policy.
Notice that this has nothing to do with severity of cases, hospitalizations, deaths. It's just based on cases of the 'Rona.
Starting on Wednesday, New Brunswick is also requiring its residents that they must present their vax papers in order to go to festivals, restaurants, gyms, and participate in pretty much all of public life.
Premiere Higgs had this to say:
"Places of worship are not required to submit any documentation to the provincial government, but they may be asked to prove that they have surveyed their membership and have reached a 90% fully vaccinated threshold."
This should be the unabashed response of Canadians:
