From the article: "It's hard to see how discrimination would occur if vaccinations were free and accessible to all."
...Really? They doubt the power of the baizuo that much? Let me remind these smoothbrains, of a VERY famous quote: "Everything is racist, everything is sexist, and it is your job to point it all out." They WILL find a way.

I worry about forced vaccinations, because as you can guess from my name, I come from the merry ol' land of Canada. Ask the native populations here what they think of mandatory chemical injections from the government. Forget "living memory", there's people barely middle-aged who were raped, and then sterilized by "helpful government medicine" around here TODAY. We're a country of horrific crimes against certain populations, crimes made possible in part by the defense of "mandatory health needles for the good of society".
I wouldn't put it past Trudeau to continue the legacy of his father, his predecessors, and his successors. and fund more rape, sterilization, and murder of native Canadian peoples. There's significant precedent for this behavior, and thus I do have great concerns over mandatory injections. Maybe the vaccine isn't hastily-made and shoddy. Maybe the vaccine has no side effects, and does only what it is supposed to... But who is to say that is the vaccine you're getting, if you're living on a reserve? Maybe we should traipse over to the local Residential School Memorial Museum, they could distribute the shots there in a reenactment of the last time the gov't forced needles into their once-proud people.
When something is voluntary, when you need to go out of your way to get it, the chances of it being a safe product are much higher. If it was just highly advised, and offered through Shoppers Drug Mart, it would get a much more positive reaction from me and I imagine many others, than if men in suits and bullet-proof vests showed up with needles and rubber bullets on reservations and said "we're from the government, and we're here to help."
