In Canada, a man assaulted a pharmacist who had vaccinated his wife – without first obtaining his consent. The alleged perpetrator is now being searched for.
Even if it is scientifically proven that the vaccines against Covid-19 protect very well against the disease, many people continue to reject the vaccination. The question of “vaccinate or not vaccinate” even divides families and married couples. In Canada, the police are now looking for a man who allegedly beat up a pharmacist for vaccinating his wife – without first obtaining his permission.
The incident occurred in the city of Sherbrooke, Quebec Province. There, the wanted woman’s wife had herself vaccinated in a pharmacy. When the man found out, according to the police, he went to the pharmacy, cursed the person in charge who had administered the vaccination, and slapped her face several times. In his opinion, the employee and his wife should have asked him for permission before the vaccination.
Pharmacists are calling for better safety precautions
The attacked woman had to be treated in the hospital with head injuries and a suspected concussion. The search for the alleged perpetrator, a man between the ages of 30 and 45, is still ongoing. He had not mentioned his wife’s name, so the police are looking for clues in the list of people who have been vaccinated in the past few days.
According to the owner, about 15 people are vaccinated every day in the pharmacy. After the attack, the vaccination campaign there was suspended until further notice for safety reasons. Benoit Morin, president of a large pharmacists’ association in Canada, asked CBC to take better safety precautions for pharmacies that carry out vaccinations – even if a comparable situation has not yet occurred.
“We have to be able to work, our patients have to feel safe,” said Morin. He also emphasized that each patient is treated individually and personally. The consent of other family members is not necessary for adults, Morin clarified.
