Couldn& #39;t listen to presser b/c of work, but consistent theme of shifting blame to individual #SK citizens (get vaccinated! stay at home! don& #39;t be stupid!) deliberately shifts attention from those most directly responsible: our elected leaders in government. (1/n) #COVID19SK
Many people can& #39;t get or don& #39;t want vaccine due to hesitancy & access issues. Many people can& #39;t stay at home because they work in essential front-facing jobs. Many people are trying to make best decisions but cannot do so without paid sick leave & other supports. (2/n) #COVID19SK
It is the system& #39;s responsibility, not the individual& #39;s responsibility, to address these concerns in meaningful ways. They are not simple problems, but they are absolutely critical if we& #39;re going to find our way out of this pandemic in the best shape possible. (3/4) #COVID19SK
We have called repeatedly for evidence-based measures beyond "vaccine FTW". Little has changed. I am so disappointed to listen week after week to the rhetoric of shifting blame to individual #SK citizens for our reality. Please stop blaming. Please start leading. (4/4) #COVID19SK
