Anthony Furey: The vast majority of people were already vaccinated when the passport was introduced, we knew by then that vaccines weren’t blunting transmission as much as had been hoped and the data told us that the places where the passports were required weren’t major drivers of transmission.
Let’s not forget that Ontario Premier Doug Ford was strongly against it before he was for it. “The answer is no, we’re not gonna do it,” Ford said at a press conference last July. “We’re not gonna have a split society.”
But a split society is what we got, and not just for the unvaccinated who were denied entry. There’s also been a big divide between those of us who roll our eyes at these theatrics we begrudgingly go along with and those who relish them as some sort of marker of their misguided virtue.
