Dr. Poulin also takes a dim view of the arrival of the fourth wave. Although he does not believe that hospitalizations will continue to skyrocket, he still fears the situation will escalate. The system was already out of steam before all of this happened. I have a hard time seeing where we’re going to go, he admits.

Dr. Poulin also believes that the government should consider expanding the vaccine passport and tightening measures to encourage people to be vaccinated. We should not charge people who are vaccinated, who protect themselves and their own, for those who do not want it.

It is a choice not to get vaccinated. But now the choice has consequences.
