Gyms keeping up Healthy and Sane
Dr. Bonnie Henry it would have been much better 50% at gyms with 6 ft apart than 50% canucks games… the gym is keeping up healthy and sane

One of the worst things you could do right now
I’m all for making smart and safe decisions to protect people during this never-ending pandemic, but closing gyms and fitness centres during the coldest, darkest, and often loneliest time of year for many is one of the worst things you could do right now. https://t.co/EvOQcYRZDT

Bonnie Henry is a cow
Wow, yeah let’s close down fitness centres where people go to actually improve their Heath. Bonnie Henry is a cow.

Some are Questioning why they got Vaccinated
So we might as well ALL be unvaxed now. Bonnie Henry just took away ALL the privileges vaxed people felt superior about having as this #COVID #variant allegedly rips through the double ( some triple) vaxed population.) But… "trust science"… Are folks still feeling smug 🤔
— Labir Bains (@labir_bains) December 22, 2021
We’re all vaccinated, & supposedly protected against Covid-19; therefore Dr. Bonnie Henry gave us privileges. But now our privileges are being taken away because Covid can mutate & evade the vaccine?? Are we making ourselves weaker to the virus?
What. Is. The. Point.
— nosmoke (@nosmokenomore) December 22, 2021
No but seriously, why am I even vaccinated at this point?

Some Claim that cases will be way down
What a joke. By 4 January this wave will be on the way down and hospitalizations will be low. Can you and Bonnie Henry not read ?

Citizens in Alberta can still go to the Gym Unvaccinated
My vaccinated friends in BC can’t go to a gym or movie in a couple days but yet in AB I can still go see a movie and go to the gym unvaxxed. They all got vaccinated for the “privileges” that Bonnie Henry just took away.

wildly inconsistent measures
@CBCOnTheCoast: What frustrates me about the 5th wave? Not the increased health measures. No, it’s the wildly inconsistent measures that allow restaurant dining while preventing family gatherings, and that Bonnie Henry still refuses to acknowledge that covid is aerosol.

There’s confusion with the orders…
Ok so if those 10 people are each from a different household how does they jive with 2 household. Like which is it? 10pm or 2 household??
— Eyedeas (@eyedeas604) December 21, 2021
A household or 10 guests or a household + 10 guests? Still trying to understand this.

I’m vaxxed and I’m done…
I'm 2× vaxxed, will get booster but I'm done with this, see your family and friends enjoy your life

The rare supporter of Henry: The Vaxxed are to blame, not the Chief Medical Officer
Quit piling on Bonnie Henry. I’m not happy with the new restrictions but she has very little choice. It’s the y vaxxed folks who are to blame. Not the chief medical officer.

Experts’ like Henry are why people don’t trust experts
Bonnie Henry has made repeated 'mistakes' when she should know better. She has been caught lying more than once.
'Experts' like Henry are why people don't trust experts. Or governments that support them.#bcpoli
