Did the Grinch just steal Christmas? In recent weeks, BC’s Public Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry stated that British Columbians should only gather with “safe, vaccinated” people over the holidays, implying that unvaccinated individuals are unsafe and should be excluded from all social and family traditions and activities. On December 17, 2021 she took this a step further, ordering British Columbians not to gather with family and friends who are unvaccinated, thus making social exclusion and marginalization of unvaccinated individuals a public health order, separating friends and families just before the holidays until the end of January at least.
