Paramedic. I state my own opinions, and do not reflect those of my employers or otherwise.

I’m sorry, but @GoAHealth @YourAlberta @jkenney @shandro how in the ACTUAL are unit clerks, admin staff, pharmacy assistants all getting the #COVID19AB vaccination BEFORE PARAMEDICS?! It’s LUNACY. Pull your heads out of your asses, open your eyes, step up to the plate & LEAD. This government is SO far behind schedule, because of the disgusting displays of arrogance aka “vacations” (literally wtf is a vacation, nearly every person on earth is asking), that at this rate, paramedics won’t even be vaccinated this year!

As someone (more specifically a healthcare worker on the frontest of lines, ahem, #vaccinateyourparamedics, I’m getting even more irate as I find the list of @Alberta_UCP-specific travelling MLA’s and staffers to be growing. Personally I have cancelled THREE trips to visit my family, during all of this, among many other cancelled trips with friends, even just local gatherings.

@TracyAllardUCP's excuse of her *vacation* being necessary because it's a family tradition, is really grinding my gears. I've met people who are spending milestone, last birthdays on earth, *alone* in hospitals. Because visitors are not allowed, unless they're actively dying. Because *so many* people think that the rules don't apply to them. Her blatant disregard for her Ministerial service

I need everyone to understand that paramedics need the #COVID19AB vaccine ASAP, and that does NOT mean April 2021, as we were just told. Paramedics, multiple times DAILY, are going into facilities on outbreaks, into private residences where all members of the household are positive, and in both instances, people who are symptomatic are NOT wearing masks.

If you want to experience real road rage, attempt to drive an ambulance lights and sirens outside the core of Calgary. While trying to rush someone to the level 1 hospital for a time sensitive emergency, I had people on the freeway refusing to move lanes to even let me merge onto the highway.
