Alberta COVID-19 Report Criticized as 'Anti-Science' by Medical Experts
A government-commissioned review recommending halting vaccines and alternative treatments faces backlash from doctors and organizations.
- A $2-million Alberta government-commissioned report recommends stopping COVID-19 vaccines and endorses controversial treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.
- Medical organizations, including the Alberta Medical Association and the Canadian Medical Association, have condemned the report as advancing misinformation and rejecting scientific consensus.
- Dr. John Conly, listed as a contributor, has disavowed the report, stating he did not consent to his inclusion and strongly supports vaccines.
- The report's findings align with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's criticisms of COVID-19 public health measures, but no policy decisions have been made yet based on its recommendations.
- Critics argue the report lacks credible evidence, omits key pandemic data, and could undermine trust in public health and science.
