(LifeSiteNews) — Recent data shows that almost 25 percent of Canadians reported having declined getting vaccines of all kinds, citing the main reason for not getting them being concerns over negative outcomes as well as bad side effects.
According to data from a recent survey of over 1,500 Canadians, done by the firm Proof Strategies, 24 percent of people polled directly declined getting a doctor-recommended shot.
The outcomes from the report show that getting more people to take government-recommended jabs is getting harder, as more people become more informed about potential side effects.
“Vaccine adoption is a highly complex challenge, influenced by variables such as region, religion, education, affordability, age and more,” wrote the survey. “There will be no one-size-fits-all solution to education.”
Broken down, people born between 1981 and 1996, or Millennials, showed the highest level of vaccine reluctance, at 29 percent.
A total of 23 percent of Gen Z refused jabs, as did 23 percent of boomers. The most vaccine-compliant age group was Gen X, or those born between 1965 and 1980.
Overall, the survey showed that women were more vaccine-hesitant than men, due to concerns over side effects.
People in the province of Alberta were the most hesitant to get vaccines, with 35 percent of people saying that they have declined a jab. A total of 26 percent of those living in Saskatchewan and Manitoba refused a jab, as did 25 percent in Ontario and 21 percent in British Columbia.
Quebecers were the most vaccine compliant, with a 19-percent refusal rate.
Of those surveyed, 16 percent were reluctant to vaccinate their kids, with Alberta parents showing a 32-percent refusal rate to jab their children.
The survey showed that families with higher incomes were more likely to decline shots for their kids.
Canadians as a whole became more aware of the potential negative side effects of vaccination after COVID mandates forced many to take the abortion-tainted jabs.
Also, attention has been drawn to the fact of a sharp rise in autism in children, which is potentially linked to kids’ large vaccine schedules.
In October 2021, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector, saying that the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.
This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance.
Trudeau had disparaged Canadians who chose not to get the COVID shots, saying that those opposing his measures were a “small, fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views” and do not “represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other.”
LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of reporting on the dangers of the experimental COVID jabs, which include heart damage and blood clots.
The COVID shots have also been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, including in children, and all have connections to cell lines derived from aborted babies.
