Those supporting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and spreading misinformation about COVID 19 will be responsible for millions more deaths worldwide. Waiting years to ensure that COVID vaccines are 100 per cent safe is criminal.

To date just about 2 million people in the world have died from COVID. As to safety, so far, according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) of about 5 million COVID vaccinations in the United States 29 people have had bad reactions. No one has died.

Robert Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, is not an expert on COVID 19. His opposition to vaccines , belief that 5G technology spreads COVID, and his criticisms of Bill Gates and Dr. Fauci are well documented. Four members of Kennedy’s family including Dr. Kerry Kennedy Meltzer, his niece, have publicly denounced his anti-vaccine stance – “he has helped to spread dangerous information over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines.” Unfortunately, he has almost a million followers.

According to many doctors and scientists, without a 75-80 per cent vaccination rate the pandemic will be with us for a long time and millions more will die. It has become imperative to support COVID vaccinations.

Red Deer hospital is already nearing 200 per cent ICU capacity.
