In a series of tweets, the union representing Windsor-Essex paramedics suggest that people who support a vaccine mandate are "authoritarian" and have a "propensity for evil." The strongly worded tweets reject vaccine mandates, calling the policies an attack on freedom, say they are based on lies and tell people to oppose them. In an emailed statement to CBC News, Essex-Windsor EMS said it does not support the tweets. Earlier in January, Essex-Windsor EMS had a number of staff off due to testing positive for the disease or being a close contact. The thread of tweets was posted to the CUPE Paramedics of Windsor-Essex Twitter page around 12 p.m. on Thursday.
