They only came out with this because 3 children have ended up in intensive care. Covering their bases I think.

Not a year goes by since I moved to BC back in 1981 that I don’t read something that make me pray for the passes to Alberta to collapse. I don’t want to be cut off from the rest of Canada just those people.

Haven't you noticed you have an abundance of them there? Look at how the Island voted in the recent election or read the comments on posts or articles. You are not immune. They are already there. Kelowna is overrun with them.

My take: Smith wants to shed (🤭) her anti vax connections as measles is occurring mostly in rural AB (her base) and putting children (can’t blame them for individual choices so “parents rights”…) at risk.

Haven’t followed much of Alberta’s politics until the last year. I am in Ontario. We don’t have the best with Ford but I can’t believe Smith and her supporters were elected there.

I can't either. And I live here. 🤮

Oh my goodness!! I called 811 to confirm my kids & I were all covered!! Yes!!

Vaccine skepticism? No. Denialism. an outright rejection of overwhelming scientific evidence and reality. Denialism uses cherry-picked data, conspiracy theories, etc. That isn't healthy skepticism, which questions and investigates; it's a refusal to accept conclusions backed by science and reason.

FAFO ….. or something…..

These people are absolutely disgusting. They play with other folks' lives for political benefit.

If we replace 'So' with 'Again' we get a better picture of history. Oh & skip the question mark, slap an exclamation point on it eh!

Too bad, I’d sort of hoped vaccine skepticism would be Alberta’s antidote for the UCP.

Maybe the chicken pox could visit smith too!!

The really funny part: Danielle smith and her cronies were pushing vaccine misinformation…but I’ll bet there isn’t a one of them who isn’t vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis, polio, diphtheria, and whooping cough…just to name a few.

I thought they moved LaGrange to “another” department? Isn’t she still under investigation regarding, well, everything?

calgaryoccupy.bsky.social•25 days ago

No and yes, she is. She should have been fired but she's a perfect fit for this corrupt government.

tammyofthenorth.bsky.social•25 days ago

AB former top doc recently sent a letter to media regarding the measles outbreaks and the Government not allowing him to speak out about it. New Doc is now warning people. This regime has got to go! They no longer represent AB just themselves!😡
