You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is:
1. A liveable wage so people have time for it
2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity
But that’s too hard.

My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness.
Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines.

Opinion: UCP's COVID vaccine cuts put children at serious risk
A policy of ending pediatric COVID vaccination will disable, hospitalize and even kill Albertan children, leaving blood on Smith’s hands.

Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a flu vaccine.
It makes no sense to restrict Covid vaccines to only people who have specific medical conditions.
The FDA is basing its decisions on politics, not science.

The COVID vaccines have been taken by billions of people, saved millions of lives, and are some of the most rigorously tested medical products in history.
Someone who has zero experience in vaccine development should not be influencing the approval process. This will kill people.
