The starting point for the math is the Canadian Truckers' Alliance, representing 85% of all Canadian truckers, who condemned the protest. Of the remaining 15% not represented by the CTA, at least 90% -- similar to the population of Canada -- had no issues with getting fully vaccinated. It's also not a stretch to think that non-CTA truck drivers follow the same line of thinking as Canadians in general do. That is, they support the right to a peaceful protest, but certainly not the form that it took.
The vast majority of Canadians do not want these things:
(a) our children, ourselves, or our elderly parents to be served by unvaccinated doctors, nurses, or personal support workers.
(b) our children and grandchildren to be taught by unvaccinated teachers.
(c) our food being breathed on by unvaccinated restaurant servers.
(d) the air in enclosed spaces (as in an airplane cabin) to be shared with unvaccinated people.
(e) unvaccinated truck drivers and potential Covid carriers to cross international, state, or provincial borders.
Truckers, nurses, doctors, teachers, servers, and travellers all have the right to remain unvaccinated. Conversely, the rest of Canada has the right to stay away from or to keep their families away from these people.
If the 90% majority believes that death rates go up when public spaces are open to unvaccinated people, they can demand limits on entrance to those spaces. But let's imagine for a moment that the pro-vaccination group was itself part of a small minority, THEN (obviously) they have the converse right to AVOID entry into public spaces. Ultimately, they too have a choice of changing from one job to another.
