Alberta Opposition demands Smith revoke call for advice from COVID ‘bioweapon’ doc

Nov 8, 2022 | 5:37 PM

EDMONTON – Alberta’s Opposition says Premier Danielle Smith needs to cancel her government’s invitation for advice from Dr. Paul Alexander.

Alexander is a high-profile critic of mainstream COVID-19 science who has referred to the pandemic vaccine in interviews and online posts as a “bioweapon.”

N-D-P health critic David Shepherd says if Smith hasn’t rescinded the invitation, she needs to explain why.

He says Smith also needs to also reveal who is providing her public health advice.

Last week, Smith told a debate for the byelection in which she’s running that she has a group of doctors advising her, that they’ve reached out to Alexander and that she wants to hear what he has to say.
