According to a Stats Canada report released in March of this year, there is a large gap in the “wiliness to receive a Covid vaccine” in minority communities across Canada compared to the general population.

Were all of the business closures, cancelled surgeries, overdoses and suicides that resulted from these measures worth it? Did these measures save more lives than they took?
