NDP Calls on Conservatives to Fire North Island Candidate over 2022 Vaccine Claims
The BC NDP says the clip shows vaccine misinformation and urges Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson to drop Kindy before the candidate deadline.
- On Oct 1, New Westminster-Coquitlam NDP incumbent Jennifer Whiteside called on Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson to drop North Island candidate Anna Kindy after resurfacing a 2022 video where Kindy questioned COVID-19 vaccine safety.
- In the 2022 clip, Kindy, then acting as a physician, described COVID-19 vaccines as "leaky" and "experimental," asserting that natural immunity offered superior protection against the virus.
- Kindy, who later became the Health Critic for the Official Opposition, received disciplinary letters from the College of Physicians and Surgeons regarding her public comments on vaccinations.
- Interim Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson declined to address the firing demand, stating the party focuses on "92 amazing candidates," as the deadline to replace nominees approaches Oct 3.
- A Conservative campaign spokesperson dismissed the criticism, claiming David Eby is attempting to distract from his "failed record" by focusing on a story from several years ago.
