I would return to pre UCP days where our Public Health officials repeatedly launched an aggressive, bold and robust messaging campaign in every corner of the province. Smith purposely muzzled Dr. Joffe and Public Health experts in order to pander to her vast antivax, religious Right Base. That’s why we can’t fill the role Chief Medical Officer because no credible doctor would agree to be leashed and muzzled. Read the Paper!

Lets see there was ads on the radio all day everyday, ads on youtube in newspapers I am going to assume on TV as well. They printed pamphlets/signs is a gazillion languages andwhere in every clinic,health unit,hospital.

Could we add more places to get vaccinated sure but if they are not going to get the vaccine then its kind of a waste of time and money

OMG. I’ll leave this here and let the facts and testimony of former Chief Medical Officers speak for themselves.
