Got it.
I'll try to squeeze one more question if I can.
Dr. MacDonald, on March 31, you co-authored an op-ed in The Globe and Mail. You said:
A lack of vaccine acceptance is a symptom of ongoing mistrust that is our collective colonial lineage.
Acknowledging and supporting Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination—the right to choose—is a critical step in addressing COVID-19 vaccine mistrust. Indigenous peoples have the right to credible and culturally-relevant information in order to make an informed choice. They have the right to question. They have the right to say “no.”
Given the direct connection between vaccination and colonialism that you are making, are you concerned that vaccine mandates could reinforce COVID-19 vaccine mistrust among indigenous people?
