>That doesn’t sound very fringe to me, or “unacceptable views”.

It's been a few weeks. Still think this?

Yup. In addition to the WHO, health policy orgs, Health Canada, NACI, and vaccine manufacturers all either explicitly or implicitly contradicting or opposing vaccine mandates and passports, 46% of Canadians sympathize with the convoy's goals: https://globalnews.ca/news/8610727/ipsos-poll-trucker-convoy-support-ottawa-canada/

The GoFundMe had 124,000 donations before it was shut down, and the GiveSendGo was more than that the last I checked. Into the third week and the crowd in Ottawa is the largest, even bigger than many Canada Days I've attended -- all while below -20C this past Saturday: https://youtu.be/4JGLBKPR44U

And, the people lining the highways at the beginning, and the growing number of protest sites including Ottawa, Windsor, Alberta, and Surrey BC.

Definitely not fringe, and the arguments of the WHO, Nuffield Council on Bioethics, and Charter 7 precedence on human rights for bodily autonomy all still hold as strong as ever.

So, yes.

Edit: Sorry, now higher: https://nationalpost.com/news/two-thirds-of-canadians-ready-to-drop-covid-19-restrictions

- "Two-thirds of Canadians believe it’s time to drop COVID-19 restrictions and begin living with the virus,"

- "56 per cent of Canadians say the unvaccinated should not be pressured into getting the shot"

- "45 per cent of Canadians believe that now is the time for chief medical officers and health officials to stand back."
