It’s time for vaccinated Albertans to get angry

By Lethbridge Herald on October 1, 2021.

Letter:

 Decision time for COVID deniers is nigh. The majority of Albertans have done the responsible thing to protect our families, our friends and our community by getting vaccinated. 

The minority of people who are refusing to get vaccinated for whatever unfathomable and idiotic reason are now jeopardizing the entire health care system. 

If one of us now should have a heart attack, a stroke, or be involved in a serious motor vehicle collision notwithstanding any number of medical emergencies our lives will be in jeopardy thanks to the mindless selfishness of the anti-vax minority. 

Now, I don’t know what the triage criteria will be when faced with such choices but I do know that at this point if I were making those decisions, the person who chose not to get vaccinated would be the one having to face the consequences for that decision. We, as the majority, have to start getting mad. 

We have to assemble by the thousands and march on our provincial parliament to send a clear, unequivocal message that we have had enough of this government and its cruel misjudgments.
