Summary

The Chair intervened to stop an interruption, and Senator Ahearn continued by stressing that public representatives must be responsible on social media, particularly about vaccines.

I thank the Senator but he is not allowed to interrupt without permission.

It seems to be mandatory this week but they are still not accountable. There is a level of responsibility. One of the biggest things we will have to do in 2021 is the delivery of vaccines. Public representatives or anyone else need to be responsible in what they put out, especially on social media.
