A database of local businesses in Ontario that had clear vaccine policies and chose to make public the vaccination status about their staff has been shut down after the businesses were flooded with hateful responses and negative reviews online. On Tuesday, the safetodo.ca creator announced on Twitter that the website was shutting down because businesses were receiving negative Google reviews, false bookings and hateful messages. People have shown support for safetodo.ca, including prominent Canadian medical professionals like Dr. Nathan Stall and Dr. Andrew Baback Boozary. On Twitter, safetodo.ca’s creator said that people should continue supporting local businesses even without the database. “I hope everyone will continue to support their local businesses.”The creator of safetodo.ca declined to comment further.
