Tried to schedule flu and Covid vaccines at our local pediatricians office today. In previous years, they’ve always been happy to give the parents vaccines. Now with the new recommendations under #rfk they’re making parents fork up $150 since they can’t “bill insurance“! Luckily the states #CMO aka #ChiefMedicalOfficer signed a standing order…so guess I’m gonna explore the CVS or Walgreens route and hope it’s cheaper!?

So we're having a #Measlesoutbreak here in #Alberta, #Canada and, wouldn't you know it, we don't have a #ChiefMedicalOfficer anymore.

For some reason, our #Premier, #DanielleSmith failed to renew the officer's contract OR get a replacement.

I am so SICK of the world drowning in malicious stupidity.
