That's great for people who already have a diagnosis, but for me I was hoping to avoid one for all the downsides, especially if Alberta keeps going down trump paths.

Do you have to pay for diagnosis in Alberta?

I want to talk about the fact that people in #Alberta need to pay $100 and book an appointment for getting the covid vaccine now. I've seen news reports talking about there being pushback about it, even protests apparently, but nothing specific. I also can't find any information about any efforts to organize any such thing. Even searching here on Mastodon has turned up very little in terms of people even talking about it. Yes, there's plenty of other problems we are having to deal with now, but this needs attention too. I haven't searched the mainstream social media sites as I'm not on them. Is there anything going on there?

I can't afford this fee, so to me that just says that our government doesn't care if I die or end up a burden on the health care system. This is punitive on poor people, not to mention adding risk to all other people, especially the immunocompromised.

I don't know what if any actions will have any effect, but we have to at least try. Who else is as upset about this as I am?
