There are different species of 'anti-vaxxer' AND they each have different needs to join the herd of vaccinated Albertans.

So... what's your 'anti-vaxxer' personality, Alberta?

#COVID19AB Image
THE WILD WOLF

Wild wolves absolutely refuse to get vaccinated, and often travel in packs. They are loud and vocally opposed to vaccines, because they seek to lead their pack... or at least maintain close ties with a small group of friends & family (who are also anti-vaxx). Image
THE LAZY BEAR

The most common type of 'anti-vaxxer'. They aren't really against vaccination, but just need a bit of a push to book an appointment. The lazy bear is happy to just keep masking and social distancing until everyone else gets vaccinated. Image
THE SCARED KOALA

Koala bears want to feel supported and comfortable, and they genuinely fear the vaccine. They worry about asking questions or showing vaccine hesitancy, as they think quite intently about the benefits (and risks!) of vaccination. Image
THE CAREFUL ELEPHANT

The careful elephant is slow to change, and often observes how unwise or foolish people can be when they create a stampede. Elephants seek strong consensus from trusted leaders to get vaccinated. Image
THE PROTECTIVE KANGAROO

Protective kangaroos (often mothers and expecting parents) are fearful that others might hurt themselves or their children. They believe no action is better than venturing out into the unknown, and often urge others to be careful. Image
So, assuming you don't associate with any wild wolves... what anti-vaxxer personality would you be?

Why would Alberta allow for attrition of #abhealth nurses rather than just lay them off?

Well, #AbLeg. Let me introduce to you former Premier Mike Harris, mid-1990's Ontario and the economic costs of hospital restructuring.
Shortly after assuming office in 1995, `Mike the Knife` moved swiftly to close several hospitals, lay off hundreds of nurses and dramatically reduce health care costs.

In response to public antipathy, Mike said:
"Just as Hula-Hoops went out & those workers had to have a factory...that would manufacture something else... governments have put off these decisions for so many years that restructuring sometimes is painful."

Why would #abhealth nurses quit a well-paying job?

Well, #AbLeg... let me briefly explain the link between nurse-sensitive outcomes, moral distress and burnout (with links to health sciences literature)...
Despite what @Alberta_UCP thinks, adequately staffed nursing units unequivocally prevent death.

One @TheLancet study found:
"An increase in a nurses' workload by 1 patient increased the likelihood of an inpatient dying within 30 days of admission by 7%"

This same study also found a moderating effect from highly-educated nurses on the units. That is, for every 10% increase in bachelor's degree prepared nurses the likelihood of mortality dropped by 7%.
