Thank you for mentioning the 3300+ healthcare workers in BC who were fired in November due to the vaccine mandates. My husband and I are 2 of the 1000+ nurses who were fired. Not only were we told this last week that we will not be rehired but the PHO has ordered our nursing college to send private info on the unvaxd to her office. We were ordered to reveal our vac status to the BCCNM by March 31st. What will Bonnie do with this information? Her demands happen to coincide with the BC government efforts to redefine "privacy" and freedom of information access. Many nurses and colleagues wonder, is the PHO going to dox our private info? Are we going to lose our nursing licenses by being unvaxd? The impact to healthcare access for the common person has been significant. Tens of thousands of unfilled shifts, closed units, canceled beds..... it's devastating for the regular person's healthcare. People please speak out in support of healthcare workers who are standing for medical ethics, personal rights, and body autonomy.

I salute you and am with you 100%. I live in BC too and am appalled by the policies that have been enacted here that have hurt so many people unnecessarily. People moan and groan about the shortage of health care workers. Dah!

You have my sincere sympathy. Overreach in this space was unnecessary and harmful.

Im so sorry. I thought they quietly removed the mandate before the deadline. This is horrific.
