EDMONTON — The organization representing Alberta physicians is calling out a government panel’s COVID-19 report as “anti-science.”
Dr. Shelley Duggan, head of the Alberta Medical Association, says the report sows distrust by going against proven preventive health measures while promoting fringe methods.

Smith has been a staunch critic of pandemic rules and vaccine mandates.
