State Media: 'Alberta Premier Jason Kenney apologized Wednesday for comparing the treatment of unvaccinated people to the stigma faced by HIV/AIDS patients during the 1980s.
Kenney drew the comparison Tuesday during a news conference where he announced Alberta's plan to immediately start phasing out COVID-19 public health restrictions, including the vaccine passport system.'
Premier Kenney shouldn't have apologized, even if it was the path of least resistance. Some of the unjabbed lost parental privileges. They were barred from going to gyms, restaurants, and stores. In some places, they were warned away from grocery stores. Some were denied medical treatment. They were treated like lepers. Ergo the analogy fits. Kenney was right, and he should trust his gut.
