OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – Opposition House leader Gerard Deltell said on Thursday that any of his Conservative colleagues who are not yet vaccinated should roll up their sleeves for the abortion-tainted jab. “If they want to attend the House of Commons, which is their duty, they have to be vaccinated,” he said.
He made the comment in light of a pending vaccine mandate deadline coming for Members of Parliament on Monday.
In October the Board of Internal Economy ordered that anyone entering the House of Commons precinct must be double jabbed by November 22.
According to Speaker Anthony Rota, the requirement would “apply to any person who wishes to enter the House of Commons precinct, including members and their staff, political research office employees, administration employees, members of the parliamentary press gallery, parliamentary business visitors, contractors and consultants.”
The Liberals, New Democrats, and Bloc Quebecois have said that all their Members of Parliament have been fully jabbed, though the Conservatives have continued to refuse to say how many of their MPs are vaccinated.
Despite the proposed mandate, the Toronto Sun reported in October that the federal Justice department had cautioned the Trudeau government that zero-tolerance jab policies are unconstitutional and that testing protocols must be offered.
Remarks from Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole have left some confused as to whether the House of Commons will follow through with the ban on unvaccinated entering. He told reporters on November 8 “all of our MPs that participate in the House will be vaccinated,” but then said that he does not “get into talking about the personal health situation of any Member of Parliament.”
However, at least four Conservative MPs, including Ontario MP Leslyn Lewis, have declined to disclose their vaccination status on principle. When asked by a reporter directly about the vaccine status of the 119 Conservative MPs on Thursday, O’Toole said, “you will have to stay tuned.”
He added that the Conservatives will “follow the rules as we always have.” It is unclear what will happen with the unvaccinated MPs on Monday.
MPs who have spoken out against the prevailing narrative concerning COVID and the abortion-tainted vaccinations have been excluded from the Conservative shadow cabinet.
MP Marilyn Gladu once served as the party’s health critic and joined other Conservative MPs to create a “Civil Liberties Caucus” to speak for Canadians who have chosen not to get the COVID jabs. She appeared on CTV Question Period two weeks ago and compared the risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID to polio.
She said: “In terms of the risk, people that got polio, many of them died and many of them were crippled, and that is not the same frequency of risk that we see with COVID-19…I’m just receiving the information from medical experts that talk about the relative risk. I’m not a doctor myself.”
She was pressured to apologize for her statements that were deemed “misinformation.”
According to the WHO, 1 in 200 polio infections (.5%) leads to irreversible paralysis. Among those paralyzed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized.
COVID does not cause paralysis the way polio does, and the death rate of those infected does not approach the estimates for polio. For those under the age of 70, the survival rate of COVID is close to 100%.
People injured by the coronavirus jabs have shown signs of varying types of paralysis following the shot, though. For example, Mona Hasegawa ended up in a wheelchair with neurological damage.
