High-risk family ‘thrown under the proverbial bus’ as Manitoba lifts restrictions, mom says – CBC
Learning to live with COVID doesn’t mean Manitobans ‘don’t need and deserve protection’: Khalie Jackson-Davis
Feb 16, 2022
Dear Premier Stefanson,
We are NOT all in this together and last week’s announcement was NOT all about Manitobans.
My high-risk family and I, as well as every other vulnerable Manitoban, feel like we have been thrown under the proverbial bus. We are now left to fend for ourselves and accept a level of risk that no one should have to, and all because we are done with COVID-19 and protecting our citizens?
I feel like I’m living in a bad dream, where anti-vaxxer sentiment seems to prevail and my freedoms are curtailed, even though I have done everything humanly possible to keep me and my family safe, followed every public health restriction and then some, and sacrificed more than I thought was humanly possible.
My son and I are both immunocompromised. I live with a rare disease called IgG4 that causes brain lesions and a myriad of accompanying symptoms. My son was recently diagnosed with CVID (common variable immunodeficiency).
