Mandatory Vaccination Policy - An Open Letter to the Government of New Brunswick

I'm back with a second video about what's happening here in New Brunswick, Canada re: vaccine mandates.

I would like to clarify that my stance toward COVID-19 vaccines is neutral—I am not a medical professional and do not feel qualified to speak on the topic. However, given vaccine development is generally a long, complex process, often lasting 10-15 years (https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/vaccine-development-testing-and-regulation), calling the COVID-19 vaccines experimental and fast-tracked is an objective statement.

My questions are specifically about the "policy" that will result in thousands of GNB employees being placed on indeterminant unpaid leave.
