That isn't "most" of society by any measure.
So I don't actually have an Ontario-compliant vaccine pass, but that hasn't actually mattered; the only vaccine-required places I've gone to were the climbing gym, until this week, and the University of Waterloo. (I did get my NZ-issued vaccine certificate scanned in Quebec and that worked on the Quebec app, back before Omicron and when I thought things were relatively safe). I think it's reasonably possible to not have a vaccine pass these days.
Quebec is now requiring vaccine passes to shop in person at the SAQ and the SQDB (cannabis). And then the daily first-dose rate went from 1,500 to 6,000. Coincidence?
That one is hard to say. Perhaps. Interestingly, if one is OK smoking pot (unless they're getting oils/edibles) and OK with drinking alcohol, they also should be OK with getting the vaccine, IMHO.
For those health-nut anti-vaxxers, likely they're not doing drugs or drinking alcohol, so it would be a moot point for some of those folks, especially the vegan ones.
Interesting too, preventing purchase of booze from the SAQ and pot from the SQDB won't prevent the anti-vax crowd from alternative places of purchase, like inconvenience stores and other shops that are allowed to sell alcohol and pot.
