At his media availability a few minutes ago, David Eby reacted to video of John Rustad saying “so-called vaccine” was not about “trying to stop the spread” but about “control on the population.”

Eby said:

“And we’ve got John Rustad, who says that these are “so-called” vaccines and is promoting the idea that vaccines don’t work when in fact, the COVID vaccines saved so many lives in this province. And a lot of the global economy reopened way earlier than it would have otherwise. How will he react to a measles outbreak in British Columbia? What will he say? Will he encourage people to get vaccinated? Measles kills kids. So these are not minor considerations. This is really important for British Columbians to know. He says one thing in a meeting, when he thinks it won’t get out. Then he says another in public. You can’t trust John Rustad. On health policy. On what he says. Because he’s always saying something different to different groups.”
