60 people call for end of COVID-19 vaccine mandate in Yellowknife – APTN News
A crowd of around 60 people gathered outside a federal government building in downtown Yellowknife over the weekend to just say no to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
It was called a “freedom rally” and the people who attended are calling for the right not to be vaccinated.
“Yes I’ve been affected by the mandate through my workplace,” said one woman who went by Christy W. “So I’m currently on leave without pay… since December. I have till March 31 if I get the vaccine I’ll be able to go back to work.”
Christy W says “it’s a personal choice to get the shot” and she’s not getting it.
Similar rallies were held worldwide on Saturday.
Christy says she doesn’t feel like her job should rely on whether or not she’s gotten the shot.
