Ontario’s chief medical officer says Quebec’s proposed tax on the unvaccinated is “punitive” and he will not recommend such a measure to his government.

Speaking at a press conference on Jan. 12, Dr. Kieran Moore said Quebec’s proposed financial penalties on those who have not received the COVID-19 vaccine have never been considered by his ministry.
