I felt compelled to write you about your article named 'Anti Vaxxers sue City of Quesnel Over job losses'.
I find the title of this article to be extremely offensive. The term 'anti vaxxer' is misleading and defamatory. I was annoyed and angered by the obvious bias that your reporter showed towards not only the nine plaintiffs in the legal battle, but towards literally 6 million other Canadians. If your reporter had the journalistic ethics to actually research, I am sure they would see all nine of those plaintiffs have been vaccinated for various things in their lives at some point. Their point clearly is that this is new medical technology, it doesn't prevent you from getting COVID or spreading it, and that they should have a choice in what experiments are pumped into their bodies.
Your journalist needs to take a good long look at what freedoms they have and maybe remember that every single one of those freedoms were fought for at one point. They have an obvious hate on for unvaccinated people, and they need to do a better job keeping a lid on their discriminatory, foolish, self-centered and incorrect views on people who have chosen to remain covid vaccine free, for whatever reason.
These people involved in the lawsuit are fighting for their rights the way they should, through proper channels, just the way it's supposed to be in a democracy. It's sad to see an obviously wet-behind-the ears child of a reporter undermine these poor people who have lost their jobs and a lot more, fighting for other people's rights along side their own (i.e. the reporter's). Just because you personally feel differently then a group of people doesn't give you the right to shit talk them and their beliefs.
Shame on the reporter and shame on the PG Citizen for thinking that title wouldn't straight up offend many readers. There were many other options to title that piece.
So this article has brought me to a great question for the PG Citizen. Where does this news agency lay in the COVID battleground? Are you pro-mandates or pro-freedom? Or are you totally unbiased, impartial and just deliver the facts without prejudice? Perhaps this article is just another spoiled fool’s opinion, in which case its in the wrong section of the newspaper.
Yes, that is all. Now I need to go brush my teeth again to get this nasty taste of discrimination out of my mouth.
