We need drastic measures to bring COVID-19 under control

Brian Campbell Cambridge

Experts tell us the most efficient way to control the spread of COVID is through vaccinations.

So why does the government have a problem making them mandatory?

They were quick to mandate the use of seatbelts, smoking in public places, vaccines for children and many more laws without batting an eye, but with this issue, they don’t want to rock the boat.

The whole world is in a pandemic and 5.5 million people have died. It is going to require drastic measures to gain control.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is reopening the schools and figures it will make them safe if he spends large amounts on equipment and supplies. What we need is for everyone working in education, health, with the public in stores, gyms, salons, restaurants/bars, sports, etc. to be vaccinated or they go on unpaid leave and can’t collect government support. Plus, anyone entering the facilities must also be vaccinated.

People are dying because they can’t get an operation, COVID is taking precedence. There should be separate facilities set up for COVID cases, especially for those who refused to get vaccinated, so that hospitals can return to treating the seriously ill.
