Hoffman denounces Alberta government’s delays for flu, COVID vaccines

Maybe, maybe, vaccines save lives, but they also immediately cost lives and injure people, and not necessarily the same people that they hypothetically might save.

Alberta NDP MLA Sarah Hoffman (Edmonton-Glenora) said doctors and patients who get their flu and COVID-19 vaccines at medical clinics are right to be frustrated to hear there will be delays to access them.

To be clear, Hoffman said vaccines save lives.

“I encourage everyone to reach out to their community pharmacist or an AHS (Alberta Health Services) vaccine clinic to get their flu and COVID vaccines,” said Hoffman in a statement.

“The current premier and health minister should stop playing politics and make it easier for everyone who wants a vaccine to get one.”

She confirmed she and Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi support doctors, public health nurses, and pharmacists in providing flu and COVID-19 vaccines with as few barriers as possible. Additionally, she called doctor’s offices “a key centre for communities across Alberta.”

“Failing to give them vaccines at the beginning of the season makes it harder for them to serve their patients,” she said.

The Alberta government said on Monday Albertans can begin booking appointments for their annual immunizations against respiratory viruses, including COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), in one week.

COVID-19 and influenza immunization appointments are available for all Albertans effective Tuesday, and RSV vaccine appointments are scheduled for openings effective October 21.

How true! Am sharing…..copied

Here’s how stupid modern Canadian politics has become.

We live in a country where the loudest people scream “eat the rich” cheer when Teslas get vandalized, foam at the mouth over billionaires, rail against corporations, blame the elites for everything, and posture endlessly about justice, equity and the little guy.

And then they turn around and vote for a Davos banker.

Not a welder. Not a builder. Not a farmer. Not a small business owner. Not even some old school liberal who still vaguely pretends to care about the working class. No, they handed the country to a global finance creature who parachuted into Canadian politics from the stratosphere, grabbed the wheel, and started pulling levers on behalf of the exact class of people liberals claim to hate.

That’s the joke. That’s the scam.

The same people who want to burn symbols of wealth voted for a man who practically is a symbol of transnational wealth. A banker. A globalist. A man marinated in elite institutions. A man whose instincts, loyalties and ...
