Dear Editor:

I just read the article with interest regarding six Okanagan chambers of commerce that have signed onto a call for the B.C. government to follow other provinces across Canada in lifting COVID-19 mandates.

I am in full agreement with the chambers鈥� position on this matter. The inconsistencies between provinces, not to mention health authorities within B.C., on lifting of mandates has been mind boggling to say the least.

I recently saw a letter from the chief medical health office of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority written to the president of the University of British Columbia.

The letter was responding to the imminent 鈥渄e-registering鈥� of students who were not vaccinated. The letter goes on to say that 鈥渢here is no material difference in likelihood that a U.B.C. student or staff member who is vaccinated or unvaccinated may be infected or potentially infectious to others.鈥�

The letter continues to say that they strongly advise against such a program [that requires vaccination status or mandatory testing of students.] This clearly renders vaccine passports obsolete.

How can Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix be hanging onto mandates that simply make no scientific or practical sense?
