If it's such an election issue Ford and Kenney alone will be enough to paint the whole Conservative party as antivaxx then.
They're different parties.
And now ask yourself, did this move by O'Toole help win votes or did it hurt by eroding his voter base even more?
You have to measure this against the cost of the media turning around and calling the CPC an anti-vax party. The only people the CPC are alienating here are people who are already voting PPC.
Doesn't matter. They are Conservatives. Conservatives that are on stage with O'Toole campaigning with him, shoulder to shoulder.

And they aren't winning any voters from the Liberals with this move either. Not a single time O'Toole went against his base to court voters on the left had worked so far. When he argued in favour of climate change while the party voted against it, the media made fun of him and shred him a new asshole. When he did a 180 on the carbon tax, loud Conservative voices (and not only those PPC voters) saw it as betrayal.
If O'Toole loses the next election (and I even admit that there is a chance, well small chance, that he could win it), it won't be because of the PPC and their voters. It will be because of O'Toole and all these spineless fucks around him who can't get him to stick to Conservative principles.Not the PPC is eroding his voter base. He is.
So how come Scheer and the federal Conservatives didn't get painted with the #metoo brush they concocted for Patrick Brown?

It's not just the count of actual votes moved from the blue column moved to the purple that's important. That cost probably pales in comparison to the support eroded by demoralization.
Remember before this stupid PPC nonsense started and there was just one unified right devoting all their efforts to taking down Trudeau? The PPC fucking obliterated that. Just look at metacanada. It went from high-energy anti-Trudeau meme-factory to cesspit of infighting overnight when Benrier launched that stupid party. Forget the number of actual votes siphoned off of the CPC by the PPC. What is the cost of the right being demoralized for four years by constant infighting? I would submit that you're seeing that cost in the polls right now.
And for what? To support some sham party that will never even win a seat.
The PPC is the best thing that's ever happened to the Liberals.

Did Patrick Brown get removed from the CPC on the same day as the allegations have been made public? Yes. That's why Scheer wasn't painted with the #metoo brush. Brown was removed as leader faster than Scheer can spell minivan.
Are Kenney and Ford being removed for being against vaccine passports? No. O'Toole will be standing with them and campaign with them.
That cost probably pales in comparison to the support eroded by demoralization.
That demoralization is caused by an uncharismatic and a weak CPC leadership. If the leader of the Conservatives talks and acts like the leader of the Liberals, it will demoralize the base. It's not Bernier's fault or some shitheads memeing for the PPC on a 200 user forum who are causing this demoralization. What you think the cause of the infighting is, is just the a symptom.
That demoralization is caused by an uncharismatic and a weak CPC leadership.
Stop it.
It's caused by a radical right-wing fringe who've been legitimized and emboldened by a charlatan presenting them with a sham party which in turn has given them the impetus to attack the mainstream conservative party - because they naively think they can make something of their joke party if they "bring down" the CPC. So now the CPC is being attacked from both sides instead of just one, and the sum effect of that is a declining CPC and by extension an increasingly unassailable LPC.
THAT is what the right has to show for this all this PPC bullshit.
