Yet this past election they were the only party to call out vaccines (even Canadian conservatives didn't do this). The result was they managed to pull 5% of the vote (mostly from conservatives but also some anti vaccine crowds from far left). That being said since then then their poll numbers are back close to 2% as COVID no longer a major issue (inflation and housing biggest issue in Canada).

Now as others pointed out RFK much more all over the spectrum than PPC when it comes to his views. But he's likely to pull in the guys who are angry at Trump for his role in developing and promoting COVID vaccines. I also think it's quite likely he's peaked much like PPC. But in such a close election he absolutely will be a factor.
Speaking of Covid , Vanna White got it. She has been on every show I can remember. Out tonight during teachers week. I am also seeing people going back to mask.
