Your experience recounts anecdotes from individuals. Anecdotal data is insufficient to draw scientific conclusions from, yet this error is common. Best to rely upon the many credible studies that show the consequences of a C19 infection is much worse than the harm from vaccines.

Another study conducted in Covid wards at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge showed that air filter machines removed almost ALL traces of airborne Covid virus.
Why are we not doing this in all schools? Surely it’s a no-brainer! 🤔

Prosecutorial independence is a cornerstone of the rule of law and by extension, democracy. Why is it that these "freedom" loving right-wing populist conservatives so readily trample on the norms, laws, and institutions of democracy to pander to their base constituents?
Kaycee Madu misrepresents this development as UCP work, while actually having no role in it whatsoever. More lies from our illustrious government.
.@KayceeMaduYEG Do you know why Government of Alberta isn’t mentioned in this article? It’s because it had nothing to do with this positive development.
The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta is independent, self-governing and sets its own licensing rules

College of physicians & surgeons, which has oversight of private clinics: “We shared that this wasn’t the solution to the health-care crisis & would further tax health human resources shortages & further increase wait times for more urgent hospital-based care.” Advice ignored.

Watching Ford role out private surgical clinics is incredibly frustrating when they will download pre and postoperative care on an already struggling and underfunded family physicians. These initiatives always fail and need to be rescued by the public purse.
Supriya is right, Canada has a thriving right-wing misinformation network. Danielle Smith is a product of it and Albertans will suffer from her misguided judgement and decision-making.
People with less education who are poorly informed are most at risk of believing misinfo.
“Canadian journalists would rather tell themselves that Americans are to blame than objectively analyze the right-wing misinformation network that is thriving in this country…”
I wrote a thing for the Washington Post.

True and very concerning. Most people are poor judges of character, hence Trump, Kenney, Ford, Danielle Smith, Victor Orban, Harper, Poillievre, etc.
And stop Danielle Smith, Scott Moe, Tim Houston and the rest of the rogue’s gallery of Cons politicians from destroying public healthcare in Canada.

This is NO joke. I lived in the Netherlands when it happened there. Once the ball starts rolling it is unstoppable. Hundreds of dollars per month and hundreds deductible per year. STOP @fordnation!!!!

One of the greatest policy myths is when governments underfund public health care systems and then sell the public on markets alone being able to provide the solution. Almost all the evidence shows, however, is more profit for corporations and higher mortality rates for people.
Now Smith is interfering in the justice system, a wholesale violation of democratic government. She is a danger to our way of life.
.@ABDanielleSmith said this morning that she had been in touch with the crown prosecutors on regular basis regarding COVID-19 cases. Justice Minister @shandro has a duty to uphold the rule of law and investigate this interference by the premier OR he needs to step down. #ableg
That’s because accepting it would require buy-in to data-sharing, and she wants her destruction of public healthcare to be undertaken in the dark.
Alberta’s premier says she’s not waiting for federal money to reform her province’s health-care system.

This ought to concern every Albertan, even those who vote UCP. Don’t believe a word Danielle says about it, do your own investigation.

R-star is a massive handout to UCP friends with no public benefit - no proof of increased jobs or clean up.
Just like coal, the UCP are rushing ahead to sell the public interest off with no consultation.
