In a move that is sure to infuriate anti-vaccine activists, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the grand opening of a massive new vaccine manufacturing plant in Toronto this week. The $20 million federal investment in Sanofi’s state-of-the-art facility signals Trudeau’s continued push for widespread vaccination, despite vocal opposition.

Trudeau proclaimed the new plant will be “one of the most advanced vaccine manufacturing facilities in the world,” with the capability to rapidly produce doses to combat future pandemics and health crises. However, his pro-vaccine rhetoric is like waving a red cape in front of the anti-vax movement.

A Slap in the Face to Freedom Fighters

Leaders of the anti-vaccine movement have already denounced the factory as a “terrorist cell” bent on injecting Canadians with dangerous substances. They view Trudeau’s financial backing as a betrayal of personal freedoms and a escalation of his “vaccine agenda.”

“This is just another way for the PM to line the pockets of Big Pharma by forcing more untested shots on our children,” claimed anti-vax activist Jenny Thompson. “We will not comply with Trudeau’s campaign of medical tyranny.” With the new facility able to pump out millions of vaccine doses, the stage is set for further clashes between the Trudeau government and those violently opposed to vaccinations. The battle lines have been drawn in the latest front of Canada’s vaccine wars.
