Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews United Conservative Party board president Rob Smith about why the board is urging Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to change the province’s Covid-19 vaccine policy. Smith says doctors must be forthcoming with parents about all the possible impacts of the Covid-19 vaccine, and that the board has already raised their concerns with the premier.
The interview comes ahead of an event warning of the dangers of the Covid-19 vaccine hosted by the Calgary-Lougheed UCP constituency association.
