Big Media wasn't at the Premier's one on One, but one person live tweeted it. I can't see twitter, but this article has a few snippets...
Quote:
“Six per cent are choosing to get the vaccination for their kids,” Ms. Smith said in response. “That means it’s 94 per cent that are not. That says to me that people are smart, and they’re figuring out whether or not it’s right for their kids.”
Now, however you look at it, this statement is extremely troubling.
It’s bad if the premier is just gas-lighting, making it up for a (mostly) sympathetic audience with the danger in mind that party members could vote for a leadership review at the UCP annual general meeting in Red Deer in November.
But it’s worse, obviously, if it’s true. The implication a significant portion of the population has been so persuaded by a MAGA-influenced government that it has moved beyond science into a YouTube rabbit hole of public health misinformation is genuinely frightening.

From Ms. Teeling’s tweets, we also learn that Ms. Smith also told listeners, as has been widely rumoured, that her government will update the provincial Bill of Rights in the fall to protect the right of vaccine refuseniks to spread disease in health care settings. (This is a topic that deserves its own discussion of the legal and public health chaos that could result from such a policy.)
She called it “a problem” that there are so many doctors on the board of the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons. There were hints she’d still like docs to be able to prescribe ivermectin, the notorious veterinary deworming paste, to treat other diseases.

Priorities of a moron. Remind me again why people want to be governed by those who despise science and facts so much? What's the long term benefit of that?
