Windsor PPC candidate tells people to sabotage vaccine appointment system

Victor Green, who ran for the PPC in the recent federal election, told his followers on Facebook that they should book fake appointments that they have no intention of keeping. He also posted the hospital's phone number.

Green said that "you know what to do. Fill up those appointment slots so much, they will have to turn kids away because they are fully booked."

Children between the ages of 5 to 11 are now able to get the jab after Health Canada approved the vaccine for this demographic. Health officials in Windsor are now encouraging kids to get the shot.

As the PPC's candidate in Windsor, Green managed to secure ten percent of the vote. He did not respond to any media requests.

"I’ve got no love for the media," he said. "Until such time as you start telling the truth then you and I are not friends anymore. It’s simple as that. Goodbye."

Windsor health officials said that "intentionally preventing someone, especially 5 to 11-year-olds and their parents, from accessing critical health-care services such as the COVID-19 vaccine is reprehensible and repugnant."

"Our local Windsor/Essex healthcare system and the world has witnessed the devastating impact of COVID-19 on our community and to deliberately sabotage someone’s ability to access this life-saving vaccine needs to be stopped through current and/or immediately implemented legislation," they added.
