EDMONTON — The organization representing Alberta physicians is calling out a government panel's COVID-19 report as “anti-science.”
Duggan said the $2-million price tag could have gone toward badly needed hospital beds or medical treatment. The report also casts doubt on the province's approach to public testing for COVID-19, saying methods may have led to “inconsistent determinations regarding the actual infection rate in Alberta,” that in turn may have influenced government policies.
The panel advises giving more credence to infection-acquired immunity, saying they found no quality evidence that vaccines provided better protection from severe disease than natural exposure to circulating variants. Her predecessor at the medical association, Dr. Paul Parks, said on social media that the report was"fully a slap in the face" to all the health-care workers who struggled to care for Albertans during the pandemic.
