For following the federal mandates like every other premier? Yes.
Provinces set their own mandates. And likely had way more impact on your daily life than the federal ones.

Humanity survived the Black Death (the plague), The Spanish Flu (not the Inquisition), and a few more including Polio and COVID. Humanity once again has survived.
I took three shots and refuse to take any more.

I'm thankful to have received the polio vaccine as a child.
Guess I could have survived without it. But, I remember seeing older kids with leg braces. And later on, lifting polio victims out of their iron lungs. In their living rooms.

Also thankfull that, back then, people did not get their medical advice in chat rooms.

Yup. I remember a couple of kids in public school in the '50s wearing leg braces and crutches because of polio.I'm thankful to have received the polio vaccine as a child.

I suppose infection and mortality rates are cold comfort if you're the one. For folks with any virulent disease, the infection rate is 100%.

The CDC says that is incorrect, as the COVID mRNA vaccines still trigger an immune response.

And polio is a whole different virus,....comparing virus's with such different paths of transmission is ridiculous.

And there is the issue - the internet and the preponderance of bullshit contained within it. In 1953 there was no internet - the best you could hope for in rural areas was the party telephone line and a newspaper. Education was scant and people post WW2 tended to do what they were told.Anonymous internet chat room profile making medical determinations.
My wife was one of those who had polio (you can see the effect of it) and I do recall children older than me in the "Forest Gump" magic shoes.
I don't have stats available but I wonder what the death rate from polio was versus COVID.
Here are some stats on Polio.
