Anti-poverty groups blast Canada for accepting vaccines needed in poor countries

"Two of the world's leading anti-poverty organizations are criticizing Canada's decision to draw COVID-19 vaccines from an international fund designed to help poor countries."

"Canada should not be taking the COVAX vaccine from poor nations to alleviate political pressures at home. Receiving one or two million doses isn't going to solve Canada’s vaccination challenges and it is going to cause harm elsewhere in the world for the poorest and most marginalized people"

"There's no doubt that this makes Canada look bad. What's lost in this frenzy is the fact that COVAX is operating as it was designed, and that Canada is one of the biggest donors."


Canada, not too popular around the world,,, again due to Trudeau's gov't.

Does Trudeau believe killing wise senior citizens will help his chances being re-elected?

Case Canada is not asking for 3rd world supplies, That is BS! I will explain it to you again seeing as you must not have understood it the last time I posted it.

Covax is a WHO initiatives which about 145 countries joined. Wealthy countries fund a pool of vaccines which are distributed 50% to themselves and 50% cost free to third world countries. The reason contributing countries get 50% is the incentive for them to take part in the program. Otherwise most countries would do all their own people first before contributing to donations to third world. Canada bought into the program last September with a $544 million dollar committment to Covax. The target of the program is to fund 20% of all participating nations requirements for vaccine.

The first distribution has just been announced which provides member nations who request to be in the first round of distribution with enough vaccines for 3.3% of their population. Canada has accepted their allotment. So did New Zealand, a first world country with very few cases. So did Saudi Arabia and Qatar, both countries which certainly can afford their own vaccines. Not all of the 145 countries, including many first world nations, are getting vaccines in the first round. [I"]Participants that do not appear in the list below have either exercised their rights to opt-out, have not submitted vaccine requests, or have not yet been allocated doses".[/I] according to the Covax distribution list.

Here you all are screaming that Canada is not getting vaccines, and at the same time you are whining about Canada accepting vaccines it has already purchased through the Covax program? JC do at least minimal research before spewing your conspiracy theories! Check out sites about the Covax program online there are plenty that explain it.

And I will even provide the following link to the Feb 3 Covax Distribution List from the WHO to show all the countries alloted vaccines in this first round. Feel free to contact Trudeau if you feel Canada should not accept their Covax allotment that they have bought and paid. I am sure he would love to hear from you.

read post #12, something is bulshit because you say it is ?

Did. Take note of these paragraphs in the post which you refer too. Just what I explained above

"Canada is one of the leading donors to COVAX, a new international partnership under the World Health Organization created last year to help deliver billions of expensive vaccine doses to poor countries that can’t afford vaccinations.

In return, donor countries are allowed to receive a small percentage of vaccines for their own use, but the Trudeau Liberals have been under fire from their political opponents for doing that as Canada faces shortfalls in doses from two major international biotech firms, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna."

So Canada is getting what it has paid for and complaints like yours is all political posturing! I can just imagine the complaints on here if he turned down Canada's allotment and donated all to the third world given the complaints about supply shortages of vaccines in Canada now!

Canada is one of the largest donars to COVAX.

Nothing happens in much of Africa without convenience payments to whoever rules including local malitia.

I'm sure they will require cash to ensure local distribution etc.

But PMJT understands how that all works from his tour looking for votes for the UN appointment. The more we give the more comes back to his own fund.

Money makes the world go around.
