The province of Alberta is now charging $100 per shot for the Covid vaccine. On the surface the reason is to prevent waste of vaccines that aren't used.
On the surface. But let me explain.
This made me laugh a bit because first of all, most vaccines in Canada are free- the only ones you pay for that I can recall off the top of my head is the shingles one. And for that one you only pay a portion.
Since the post Covid era- most of Canada is avoiding ALL vaccines, not just the mRNA Covid shots. They aren't dumb. The side effects scared the daylights out of a lot of us, not to mention the free and easy way that the govt mandated those vaccines, without listening to the growing tide of "science" that they claimed to listen to.
NOW there will be even fewer Canadians taking the Covid shots.
Alberta is devious! And I love them for it! The heartland of Freedom Trucker Convoys etc- this province gets to LOOK like they are serious about vaccines, while subtly providing a serious disincentive to get vaccinated, at least for Covid.
It's a very Canadian way of saying- hey, we don't really want you to get vaccinated, but we can't say so out loud so here's the deal.
And just so that Alberta won't get into trouble with the federal health laws of Canada, they get to keep Ottawa happy by giving exemptions to that $100 fee to seniors, people with immune issues, and public workers like firefighters and nurses.
Thus looking like they are protecting the "free for all" health care system without actually doing it.
And reducing the costs to the overloaded health care system from people suffering from the now well known side effects of the vaccine.
I love my country!
