Doug Ford criticizes former PC MPP for ‘disgusting’ false claims about COVID-19 vaccines

Prime Minister Doug Ford ripped off a strip of independent MPP Randy Hillier on Friday, calling his behavior “appalling” and “disgusting” after the former progressive conservative published personal information on 11 Ontario residents who falsely claimed they had died or suffered. Serious side effects from COVID-19 vaccines. .

“I think it’s awful for an elected official to do that, put someone who died for another reason and post it and say it’s because they have vaccines. It’s disgusting, in my opinion, ”Ford said after a press conference announcing a plan to slowly ease pandemic restrictions.

“That is the reason why Randy Hillier is not part of our group. That is why Randy Hillier will not win the next election if he decides to run, ”Ford said. “And ironically, Randy Hillier’s driving is the highest vaccination in Ontario, so they don’t believe in him either.

“I think this guy, I always said before, the cheese came off the cookie with this guy, he’s turned rogue. The guy has lost his mind, in my opinion, and I just ignore it. I think it’s ridiculous. I wouldn’t even give you the time of day if it was a means of communication. That’s what he loves. “

Earlier this week, Hillier posted photos and personal medical information about 11 Ontario residents on their social media accounts that suggested they had died or suffered serious medical diagnoses related to COVID-19 vaccines.

Annoying families and friends Some of the profilers have since come forward to say Hillier is wrong and have urged him to remove the posts.

So far, he has refused.

Hillier, who represents Lanark-Frontenac-Kington and has openly opposed the lockdowns and masking mandates, released a statement saying that it is his duty as an elected official to “examine and question public policy.”

It also calls on the Ontario Provincial Police to “initiate immediate criminal investigations to determine the facts of these and other tragic deaths, and to determine whether the administration of a pharmaceutical product was a contributing factor or a cause of death and injury.”

Hillier recently tweeted that “I have never encouraged anyone to take the jab or not. I only provide data and facts “, adding that” the non-empty are being excluded and segregated from society … it is time that we leave this sick and sick society and create a new one based on freedom. “

Leeds Grenville and Lanark Public Health continues to record the highest vaccination rate in the province, with 97.4% of residents receiving a dose and 93.5% being fully vaccinated.

Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Public Health reports a first dose vaccination rate of 89 percent and 85 percent for both doses.

The family of a woman featured in Hillier’s posts told the Waterloo Region Register that they are “Enraged” and “wounded”, saying he died of a rare autoimmune disease, not a vaccine complication.

Farisa Navab’s sister, Ammarah, said Hillier shared “false information about my sister’s death to promote propaganda without notification or consent.”

Hillier was expelled from the PC caucus more than two years ago for his behavior, including taunting the parents of autistic children in Queen’s Park, but he has maintained it was because he disagreed with the prime minister’s closest advisers.
