The government of Quebec has decided to strike a blow against the non-vaccinated. The Canadian province has announced several measures to restrict the social life of those who refuse to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
We no longer joke with the Covid-19 in Quebec. A few days apart, the government of the Canadian province announced measures that severely limit what the unvaccinated are allowed to do. It must be said that Quebec is very affected by the Omicron variant and that the hospital system is on the verge of asphyxiation, despite a vaccination rate of 82% in the population aged 5 and over.
A “health contribution” for the unvaccinated
From January 18, you will have to present a vaccine passport in state stores selling alcohol and cannabis (which is legal in Canada). Christian Dubé, the Minister of Health, explained that it was necessary ” protect [les non-vaccinés] against themselves and protect our healthcare system “.
And if unvaccinated people aren’t happy with the restriction, there is a solution.” very simple “: ” pick up your first dose, it’s free and easy! “. The vaccine passport will also be essential to access non-essential businesses, such as supermarkets. There is hardly any more than in pharmacies where the non-vaccinated will be able to go…
And the pressure on the unvaccinated is not over. The Prime Minister of Quebec, François Legault, announced the establishment of a “health contribution” that people who have not been vaccinated will have to pay, in addition to other health costs. They represent, in fact, a financial burden for all Quebecers “, he asserted. And it is not up to all Quebecers to pay for the health costs of those who have not been vaccinated. 10% of unvaccinated adults represents 50% of people in intensive care, he said.
