Patients of a North Vancouver doctor will now be looking for a new physician. Dr. Sofia Bayfield with the North Shore Medical Group sent an email letter to her patients, saying after March 24 she will no longer be able to treat them as she is not vaccinated against COVID-19. “Unfortunately, this order will pertain to me (despite having recovered from COVID myself), along with thousands of other health care workers who cannot be vaccinated for very legitimate reasons!” Bayfield wrote in the letter.

She did not give any indication as to the reasons why she cannot be vaccinated. “I will no longer be able to see patients in my family practice as of March 24th, nor do any form of telehealth medicine.

I will not be able to practice as a physician in this province AT ALL!!” the letter continued. “Because I am unable to be vaccinated, this order will affect not just me and my ability to provide for my family, but all of you who are or have been my patients, as well as patients in the future who would have otherwise been served by myself as a physician.” The Provincial Health Order was finalized Monday night but while Dr.

Bonnie Henry previously mentioned a deadline of March 24, the order posted online said “registrants for whom vaccination status is not found must provide vaccination records to their college by March 31, 2022.” Read more: B.C.

Poll: Philadelphians are more pessimistic than they have been in over a decade
PHILADELPHIA - A new poll from the Pew Research Center found that Philadelphia residents are the most pessimistic they have been in over a decade. Researchers found that 63% of people polled believe that Philadelphia is on the wrong track, with gun violence receiving the lion's share of the blame. According to the latest data from the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been 127 homicides in the city this year which outpaces a historically bloody 2021. "A lot of evidence that crime has gone up, and it makes people very frustrated, very scared, and very at a loss of what to do about it," Attorney and CEO of Advocate To Win Heather Hansen said.U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams stopped by Good Day Philadelphia to discuss the ‘All Hands on Deck’ initiative that focused local, state, and federal law enforcement efforts on stopping gun violence.She believes that the COVID-19 pandemic secluded people from societal norms of behaving with courtesy, as evident by a violence spike in hospitals and airplanes. "It’s in large part because we’ve forgotten how to be patient, how to wait, how to interact in public," Hansen said.Philadelphians exhausted and frightened by the constant threat of violence, drugs and other street crimes would like to see more police, according to the poll. "I’m just concerned," said Jeff Benson, who has a daughter that lives in Philadelphia.
