An anti-vaccine protest is taking place outside of KGH right now. Less than 50 or so people have showed up. Our reporter @LadnaM_ is on scene. #ygk
The crowd is shouting at a woman who came out of the hospital and told the group she has cancer. #ygk
Some people in the crowd said they are not there to protest vaccines. They are insisting that they should not be forced to be vaccinated against their wishes.
Note that KHSC has not mandated vaccines. See our story here: google.ca/amp/s/globalne…

A man in a mask not taking party in the protest showed up to use the protester’s mic, saying “I do not believe in harassing people who are just trying to do their job and take care of others.” #ygk
According to a post from the local PPC candidate, this protest was organized by local nurses and health-care workers not wanting to be vaccinated. So far, only one person has confirmed they are a health-care worker but would not give their details.
This person holds a sign that says “Nurses against mandates.” KHSC is not mandating vaccines. 
#BREAKING: Both Kingston Health Sciences Centre and Providence Care have just now implemented mandatory vaccines for all staff and volunteers who access their sites. They must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 22. #ygk
