Catch up on what happened yesterday 👇🏾https://t.co/4KoiAs3P68
British Columbia stands out globally for being one of the only jurisdictions still preventing healthy, unvaccinated healthcare workers from working in certain healthcare settings.
A group of BC doctors with the Canadian Society for Science & Ethics in Medicine (CSSEM) spearheaded the judicial review which seeks to challenge the reasonableness of Dr. Bonnie Henry still using emergency powers to prevent jab-free medical professionals from working, for more than two years.
Today, counsel for the CSSEM, Peter Gall, continues to provide evidence on behalf of the CSSEM, as to why the draconian mandate should be quashed.

Gall agrees.
8. Justice Coval, who is presiding over this matter, asks for clarity:

So you’re saying that one point is that there is no difference [between jabbed & unjabbed] They don’t pose any greater risk to patients because the infection rate is the same as those who are vaccinated? pic.twitter.com/ocbDH0IWy2
7. Gall submits that natural immunity provides the same degree of protection in regards to the severity and duration of one having COVID.

“What we’re talking about is if you do not have natural immunity you may be sicker for a longer period of time.”
