The College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan claims Leah McInnes is ‘guilty of professional misconduct when she joined protests against existing and anticipated vaccine mandates and vaccine passports during the Covid pandemic.’
(LifeSiteNews) – A Canadian nurse who conveyed her opinions against COVID jabs and mandates on social media is currently in a disciplinary hearing before her provincial medical college for doing nothing more than expressing her views.
The College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan (CRNS) claims that Saskatchewan nurse Leah McInnes was “guilty of professional misconduct when she joined protests against existing and anticipated vaccine mandates and vaccine passports during the Covid pandemic.”
McInnes’ four-day tribunal hearing began yesterday in Regina.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is representing McInnes, said in a recent update that the CRNS is accusing the nurse of social media posts as well as statements made to the media from August to October 2021. As noted by the JCCF, McInnes should be free “to express her opinions regarding vaccine mandates and vaccine passports and other related issues such as freedom of choice and medical privacy.”
The JCCF stated that the College claims McInnes’ opinions regarding the COVID shots and mandates were “restricted to Saskatchewan-related vaccine policies,” as there were no “mandates” ever “brought into force in Saskatchewan.”
When it comes to COVID jab mandates for healthcare workers, Saskatchewan health officials never enacted them per se but strongly recommended that people get the shots.
