Why I am not getting the vaccine By Samuel Sey, Op-ed contributor for The Christian Post
Our governments have failed to convince many of us to get the COVID vaccine. So they’re now attempting to coerce us into getting it.
Vaccine passports are the latest form of authoritarian approaches by our governments in reaction to COVID-19. And yet, many people remain unconcerned by our governments’ oppressive reactions.
In fact, in Canada, most people support mandatory vaccines.

Therefore, some Canadian provinces — like many nations and regions around the world —have instituted a form of vaccine passport. A couple of days ago, Quebec joined Manitoba and Prince Edward Island as one of the Canadian provinces to establish vaccine passports.
The premier of Quebec, François Legault, said:
“The principle behind the vaccine passport is that people who have made the effort to get their two doses should be able to live a semi-normal life. … We will give certain privileges to those who have agreed to make the effort to get their two shots.”
These “privileges” include access to “non-essential” services for vaccinated people. Meaning, unvaccinated people will not have access to non-essential services.
In other words, Quebec has established a system that labels some citizens as essential and other citizens as non-essential. They are separating who they believe are first-class citizens from who they believe are second-class citizens.
Canadian provinces are openly and unashamedly segregating people over the vaccine, and most Canadians support that.
One of these Canadians is Justin Trudeau. He’s shared his support for Quebec’s vaccine passports. And he’s considering making COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory for federally regulated workplaces.
