A lawyer representing businesses in workplace matters says the new health official statement that vaccines do not prove substantial benefit against the circulation COVID-19 over unvaccinated people poses serious questions for employers that imposed vaccination mandates assuming it would prevent transmission.
“There’s a lot of corrosive imposition of workplace mandates that may be changing in the coming weeks and months,” Daniel Freiheit says.
Chief medical health officer, Dr. Kieran Moore, said the province needs to reassess the value of the vaccine passport system as the vaccine at two doses does not confirm significant benefit against transmission risk.
