The BCNDP has fired a direct shot at John Rustad
by posting a video clip to social media
from the conservative leaders July interview
with an anti-vax group that's suing provincial health
officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

he regrets getting the so-called vaccine three times.

were more about shaping opinion and controlling
the population.

in the health profession condemning
the conservative leaders remarks.
