This is a great idea Sheldon just this week I met two people who asked me if I thought it was safe, that they know so many people with cancer and you wait forever to see an oncologist, a friend of theres died waiting to see the oncologist. Some people are waking up, but I doubt this government will admit to anything. They know what lawsuits would be ahead and it’s Kenney who left this mess

On the other note, a couple of weeks ago I sent a letter to Danielle Smith about COVID-19 vaccine added to children's Immunization Schedule and received a response from Health Miniter. Do you want a copy? I can forward you a full letter....

Here are some abstracts... "As you may know, COVID 19 vaccines are available for all Albertans six months and older and have been recommended by Alberta Health and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization since they were authorized for use by Health Canada. Canada introduced regulatory tools in September 2020 to allow the authorization and licensing of COVID 19 vaccines without compromising standards for patient safety. These vaccines have undergone rigorous testing for quality, safety, and effectiveness, and are now fully authorized and approved in Canada. Health Canada also publishes technical information about each authorized vaccine, which includes a summary of the scientific rationale for the decisions, the data supporting the vaccine’s approval, clinical trial results, and any new information that affects the assessment of the vaccine."

"....That said, please know that including a vaccine on the routine childhood immunization schedule does not make it mandatory. We have chosen an approach that is collaborative while respecting Albertans’ rights to make informed decisions about their own health. While immunization is one of the most effective ways to protect and promote the health of Albertans, we believe that individuals should be supported in the personal choice they make related to immunization. Nevertheless, choosing not to be immunized does carry risks, and I encourage you to discuss these with public health experts or your primary care provider."
