The UCP in Alberta have quietly announced a ban on covid vaccination for most kids under 12, please report on this and do anything you can to stop it.
They have revised to a two phase rollout, neither of which make kids without severe medical eligible for vaccination.

The government has declined an interview request with preventative health Min. LaGrange. Since this story was published, her office acknowledged receipt of CP's questions, but no responses yet, including about the possibility of health care workers having to pay for their own COVID shot.
Alberta's government is looking to cover costs and reduce waste. But U of C health law professor Lorian Hardcastle says she expects hospitalizations to increase, and even a few prevented ICU stays could have paid for "a lot of vaccines." From @jack-farrell.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/2c3n8r39

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends.
Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you.
That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't."
That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

It can be simple to protect our and others health — by masking in public with K95 or N95 masks, testing before gatherings, increasing ventilation, and staying home if sick.Not only will this help mitigate the spread of COVID, but also all other respiratory illnesses of the season, like flu and RSV.
Opinion: This holiday season, let's spread kindness, not COVID
We're not hearing much about the virus anymore, but it's the gift that keeps on giving — with long-term effects of notable concern.

We all think plastic pollution is a problem, and it is. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.
But all the plastic we have EVER produced weighs as much as CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024!
