How Ottawa utterly botched Canada's COVID vaccine acquisition

[Hamloc]

You actually think a delay in vaccine shipments to Canada is the smoking gun? Every country in the world is facing a shortage of vaccines. Even citizens in the countries which are leading in vaccination rates are complaining exactly the same as in Canada. Want proof people around the world as just as upset as Canadians, check out these sites:

Simple question did you read the National Post article?

Apparently not

Simple question did you read the National Post article?

Good morning Hamloc. I do not sit on the computer 24 hours a day as Case must by insinuating that because I did not answer your question within 15 minutesy he can assume I did not read the article.

In fact I did read it. And no where does it say that people in other countries are satisfied with the rollout of vaccines in their own countries which was the initial point I made. No matter how fast of a rollout occurs there will be whining that it is not fast enough in every country. And that is to be expected when production simply cannot meet demand. I provided links to lots of articles from US, Europe, and the UK giving the same complaints in those countries that the National Post is doing to Canada.

The second point I made is that Canada is not stealing vaccines from 3rd world countries as is being argued by those with a political axe to grind. Canada as a participant in Covax is allocated a percentage of vaccines through the Covax program just as every other Covax participating country is. So Canada is accepting its share now since production problems have decreased the expected deliveries to Canada. New Zealand has been alloted Covax vaccines in the first distribution too, even though the disease pressure in that country is likely lower than anywhere else in the world and they have not even received registration for using any type of vaccine in their country.

If we could get the politics out of Covid and vaccines we would be much better off. Trudeau has done enough actual stupid s**t that he should not be PM without making up stuff. All such BS does is empower those who show you do not know what you are talking about so why should anyone believe anything you are saying.

nothing to do with your screen time
"apparently not" means if you did read hamloc's post , you didn't get anything out of it ?
also, lieberals all want to get politics and Covid/vaccines separated, as you suggest, now since his colossal **** up

Believe what ever you want to believe. I could care less of what you think of me or your claims to know what I am thinking by whether or not I respond. I know I will never change your or a number of other posters biases about anything. I am only concerned with those on the list who may not take the time to fact check something that you claim to be fact such as Canada is taking vaccines from the third world that they do not deserve when in fact they have bought and paid for those vaccines through the same WHO Covax program that 144 other countries are also getting vaccines from.

i certainly don't care what you think of me either
i know i won't change your mind either
i just can't let hypocrisy go unchecked or bullshit either
if you farm , i know you don't operate like a liberal or you wouldn't be in business

Maybe Canada needs to donate a few more billion to Covax so we can secure more vaccines for Canada.

Caseih I did read this article and yes I agree with Rex 100% but the problem is 32% of Canadians according to the latest polling still support the Liberals! As I have said before I cannot understand how a person with a functioning brain that can do rudimentary math can support this Prime Minister but it is supposedly a free country and they have every right to support whichever party they prefer. The only positive I find is that those on the left can no longer tell me the Stephen Harper added the most debt of any Prime Minister, by the time Justin Trudeau is done he will have more than doubled Canada’s deficit and added more than 4 times the debt Stephen Harper did! Fml!

[Guest]

The media has “woke” that 32% will be dropping fast
Hopefully it’s the whole Lieberal party under the bus and not just numbnuts
