    1. When it becomes “not”, is when the fists start flying. You go near my kid with that nonsense, you better be a better fighter than I am.

  1. Up to the parents, until I decide it isn’t up to the parents, then I will call the parents idiots if they don’t. And when that doesn’t work I will exclude the unvaccinated children from education.

  2. “Do I want everyone to?” The penalty for genocide is obviously not something that Ford has considered, yet.

  3. Dr. Jessica Rose has a BSc in Applied Mathematics and completed her MSc in Immunology at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada.
    She recently made a presentation to the World Council for Health, and her analysis of the data in VAERS revealed that in 2021 there has been a 5,427% increase in deaths following COVID-19 shots, and a 1,373% increase in adverse reactions following COVID-19 shots, as compared to all other vaccines given out for the past 10 years.

    1. According to the Ontario government’s OWN DATA:

      1 COVID death out of 1,078,527 children aged 5-11 in the province.

      Literally one in a million.

    1. @Jeff Anderson it’s 2131 as of writing this.
      Can you name a pathogen that has killed more in that same time frame?

    2. @K M starts with a failed vetting process that allowed a failed slang speaking drama teacher that believes he is Mr Dress up too be the new ruler of Canada.

    1. He doesn’t want to be vilified until it’s all in place. Then in classic Ford flip flop fashion, he’ll change his tune..
      Mark my words

    2. because there is an equally probably alternate reality where it is mandated, and he is indicating which one we are in

  4. My favourite conspiracy theory is the government cares about our health !

  5. Will Ontario rely on children to get 90%? The way that question was phrased made me sick to my stomach

  6. For now. It was also up to adults to take it until recently and now it’s “take it or lose everything!!!!!” Kids will be mandated soon too. Be prepared.
