Canada: Thousands of Alberta healthcare workers call for ‘open dialogue’ on COVID response, condemns AHS’s vaccine mandate

Post Millennial: Alberta Health Minister Jason Copping expressed concern over an Open Letter by healthcare workers objecting to the Alberta Health Service (AHS) vaccine mandate.

“A group of healthcare workers, calling themselves Health Professionals United, object to AHS’ decision to require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19,” reads a statement from Copping.

He said the AHS’s position reflects their “paramount obligation” to protect patients, especially the sickest and most vulnerable patients in hospital or continuing care.

In an August 31 release, AHS said this necessary step is required to protect patients, vulnerable and immuno-compromised Albertans, and anyone who visits or works at any AHS site, including healthcare facilities.

However, they said any AHS employee unable to be immunized for a medical reason or another protected ground under the Alberta Human Rights Act would be reasonably accommodated.

“Ultimately, this is an issue between some staff and their employer, and I respect that,” said the health minister, adding AHS intends to accommodate members who cannot be vaccinated on health or legitimate religious grounds, “as they should,” he said. more

    Copping spews disingenuousness like a lanced boil spews pus. He’s trying to make it sound as though the employer is something other than himself, and that he has respect for the recalcitrant employees. Both are utterly false.
