And sorry, to address your stats,

Quote:
Alberta is on track for what could be its lowest influenza vaccination rate in at least a decade.
Less than one-quarter of Albertans — 24.1 per cent — have received their annual flu shot so far this respiratory virus season, according to provincial data.

It's a dramatic drop from the high of 37 per cent in 2020-21.

The last time the province recorded an overall immunization rate this low was at the end of the 2012-13 season, when uptake was 24 per cent.

Alberta recorded the highest number of influenza deaths in 15 years, and some people are attributing the death toll to a decline in yearly immunization rates.

That's a failure and a direct cost to us. This is what stupid policy results in. Stop electing stupid people. This isn't hard.
