LONDON, ONT. --
London City Councillor Michael Van Holst has failed to garner council support regarding his concerns about vaccine oppression.
It comes after three days of lobbying.
In a letter submitted to the agenda of the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee (SPPC), Van Holst argued vaccination mandates may be perceived as unwarranted by the unvaccinated.
His letter states, “some will claim it to be an act of coercion” and "potentially oppression.”
To give the idea a chance to be explored, Van Holst asked his council colleagues to refer the issue to the Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti- Oppression Advisory Committee (DIAAC) at City Hall.
