Gerald Butts has drawn criticism on Twitter after comparing vaccines to second hand smoke. The former Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated Monday, vaccines are “like second hand smoke. If you want to be unvaccinated, be unvaccinated in private.”

Gerald Butts on Twitter: “Increasingly of the view that this is like second hand smoke. If you want to be unvaccinated, be unvaccinated in private. But don’t expect access to public spaces where everyone else did their part to end the pandemic. 💉 https://t.co/VpmyHcsi7Z / Twitter”

MPP Roman Baber, a vaccine skeptic and anti-lockdown advocate fired back, asking what harm the unvaccinated people would cause the vaccinated people. Baber then asked, “what length will Justin Trudeau go to get the tiny minority vaccinated?”

Roman Baber on Twitter: “Why would the tiny minority be harming “others” if the “others” are vaccinated @gmbutts? And to what length will @JustinTrudeau go to get the tiny minority vaccinated?This is entirely consistent with someone who finds the burning of churches “understandable”.#onpoli #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/0fYpw2G5Bi / Twitter”

Butts recently came under fire after stating that the string of church arsons across Canada was “understandable.” Butts was criticized by Tucker Carlson, who said Butts was endorsing criminal activity.
