Document calling on feds to 'apprehend' unvaccinated is fake, Ontario officials say
CTV
A document circulating online about 'apprehending' unvaccinated people in Ontario is fake and has been sent to police for investigation, the government says.
The letter is forged to look as if it was written by Health Minister Christine Elliott and Solicitor General Sylvia Jones.
It is addressed to federal Minister of Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair and Health Minster Jean-Yves Duclos.
It is manufactured to look like Elliott and Jones are calling for the federal government to criminalize being unvaccinated and apprehend those who are.
"It has come to our attention that a manufactured letter falsely claiming to be sent from Minister Elliott and Minister Jones on Dec. 3 is circulating online," the Ministry of Health said in a statement Monday.
