Health Minister Totally Out Of Touch?
A front page story in this morning’s Edmonton Journal quotes health minister Ron Liepert:
From The Journal:
“As vaccination clinics across the province remained closed for a second day Monday, provincial Health Minister Ron Liepert insisted Alberta's response to H1N1 flu has been a historic success.
Liepert called the first six days of mass immunizations last week "the most successful week that we have had when it comes to vaccinations in this province."
A complete overhaul of Alberta's vaccination strategy is expected to be announced today, however, after the program was halted Sunday.”

Or am I missing something that shutting down immunization clinics in the middle of a pandemic is a historic success?
Our politicians look like a circus group of clowns falling over each other. And that is the sad reality of Alberta's health system.
