U.S. citizens: Demand Congress investigate soaring excess death rates

VICTORIA, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) — The province of British Columba has finally dropped its COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, allowing some 2,000 unvaccinated persons to return to work.  

In a July 26 press release, B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry announced that the province is no longer in a public health emergency and is revoking all COVID regulations, including the vaccine mandate which has been enforced since 2021.  

“While COVID-19 is not gone, we now have high levels of protection in the health-care system and in communities throughout B.C.,” she said.  

“We are now at the point where I am confident, we can continue to manage COVID-19 without the need for the public-health emergency,” Henry added.  

“All remaining Provincial Health Officer Orders are rescinded,” Henry promised, meaning that unvaccinated healthcare workers who have been blocked from working since 2021 can finally return. British Columbia is the last province to drop their vaccine mandate.   

However, along with Henry’s announcement, the provincial government announced that it is creating “a vaccine registry,” forcing all health care workers to disclose their vaccination status to their employer. 

“Moving forward, all health-care workers in public health-care facilities must report their immunization for COVID-19 and influenza and their immune status for other critical vaccine preventable diseases,” reads a July 26 press release.  

“By shifting to a new requirement for health-care workers to report their immune status for key vaccine preventable diseases including COVID-19, we are continuing to take actions that keep people safe, support a healthy workforce, and a strong health-care system,” Health Minister Adrian Dix claimed.   

Henry’s decision to drop the COVID vaccine mandate comes just eight days after Conservative MLA John Rustad promised to rescind B.C.’s vaccine mandate public health order if elected as premier.  

“Bonnie Henry has lifted mandates for healthcare workers because Eby’s radical NDP is worried about the coming election,” Rustad posted on X.

“Meanwhile, patients here in Prince Rupert have died in hallways waiting for a doctor,” he continued. “It shouldn’t take an election to hire back healthcare workers.” 

Indeed, Henry has been determined to keep British Columbia’s vaccine mandate regardless of the hundreds of health care workers who have been unable to work since 2021.  

In May, Henry’s mandate was challenged in court. The judge ruled that healthcare workers can still be mandated to receive the experimental COVID injections as a condition of employment, but decided that those working remotely are no longer bound by the unscientific rule.
