Pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinson Calls for Immediate Reopening of Alberta

In a shocking statement, pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinson has called for the immediate reopening of Alberta, despite the province being in the midst of a Covid-19 pandemic. Hodkinson's comments have been met with widespread criticism from health authorities and medical experts.

According to reports, Hodkinson claimed that the province is being 'led down the garden path' by Chief Medical Officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw, and called for the province to be reopened 'tomorrow'. This bold statement comes as Alberta has seen a surge in Covid-19 cases, with over 1,000 new cases reported on November 30.

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, where Hodkinson was certified, distanced itself from his statements, urging people to follow public health guidelines instead. The Alberta Medical Association also tweeted that the individual views expressed by Hodkinson do not reflect those of the organization.

Alberta Health Services, the provincial healthcare system, clarified that Hodkinson has no formal affiliation with the health authorities and urged people to follow provincial guidelines. Meanwhile, the Alberta Health Ministry respected Dr. Hodkinson's credentials as a physician but disagreed with his assessment of Covid-19 and will not be taking advice from him on the government's response to the pandemic.

Hodkinson's claims have been met with significant pushback from health authorities and medical experts, who argue that the measures in place are necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. The pathologist's comments have also sparked controversy online, with many criticizing his statements as dangerous and irresponsible.

In a Facebook post shared by Ontario independent MP Randy Hillier, Hodkinson claimed that there is 'utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians', and described Covid-19 as the 'greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public'.

While some have echoed Hodkinson's sentiments online, many have spoken out against his views, urging people to take the pandemic seriously and follow public health guidelines. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Hodkinson's comments will impact the province's response to Covid-19.
