Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Canada is no position to help anyone with vaccine. Trudeau has basically been going around the world begging for vaccine. Stop the bullshit.,

.... still more misinformation. You have a lot in common with the ex President. Just not Science first, nor facts first.

COVID-19 vaccine deliveries back on track following weeks of delay, says Public Health Agency


Updated delivery timeline says Canada will have enough doses to fully vaccinate 14.5 million people by June.


Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the military commander leading Canada's vaccine logistics, said 403,650 doses of the Pfizer vaccine arrived in Canada this week. That's the largest single delivery since shipments began in December.

Fortin said that both companies are on track to meet their targets by delivering a total of six million doses — four million from Pfizer and two million from Moderna — by the end of March.

And an updated delivery timeline released by PHAC says Canada should receive millions more doses than originally anticipated between now and September.

"We're now coming out of this period of limited supplies. It's an abundance of supplies for spring and summer, where we can have a significant scaling-up of immunization plans in provinces," Fortin said.


Pfizer has locked in a delivery schedule for the next six weeks to meet the end-of-March deadline. The company plans to ship 475,000 doses next week and then 444,600 per week next month, according to the federal government's vaccine distribution tracker.

Moderna, which has delivered 500,000 doses so far, will deliver a reduced shipment of 168,000 doses next week. Negotiations are still underway with Moderna on specific delivery dates for the remaining 1.3 million doses it's committed to delivering by the end of March, but they are expected to arrive in two shipments, Fortin said.

The territories — which already have administered vaccines to 32.9 per cent of their adult populations — will have enough doses from Moderna's next two deliveries to vaccinate 75 per cent of adults by the end of March, Fortin said.

The updated timeline provided by PHAC shows millions more doses arriving between now and September than previous projections anticipated.

It projects that Canada should have enough doses from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna to fully vaccinate 14.5 million people by the end of June, and 42 million by the end of September. If the companies follow through with deliveries on schedule, that means Canada would have more than enough doses to fully vaccinate the country's entire population by September.

Part of that increase is due to Health Canada acknowledging that each vial of the Pfizer vaccine carries six doses, not five. That change means more shots can be squeezed out of each vial — and the company can ship fewer vials and still meet its contractual obligations to send a certain number of doses to its customers.

Question: Why was Canada the only G7 country to take funds from poorer countries?

PS - I feel sorry for the fools that are depending on Canada for a vaccine when they can't vaccinate their own. Trudeau has been begging. BEGGING.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

... still more misleading information.

The COVAX group accepted $251M from Canada to purchase COVID-19 vaccines. As part of the support agreement, Canada exercised it's right to purchase vaccines that the COVAX group did not have the funds to purchase.

Did Trudeau get any commitment on when those vaccines will be delivered or did he just give away more of Canada's money? oh and how much kickback did Trudeau get under the table?

Sure buddy. Canada is the only G7 country to take funds from the poor because they're trying to help them. You are the ministry of propaganda.

... It appears you cannot read, especially facts. Canada is Covax's 2nd largest contributor of funds, Canada purchased vaccines that Covax did not have the funds to purchase.


Not that you ever cared about Covax in the first place other than to spread disinformation.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Keep in mind that SalesServiceGuy is the same dude that told us months ago that Trudeau had the vaccine under control and argued with me when I told him that countries would keep most of the vaccine for themselves. This guy has no common sense. He's also is willing to take bullets for Trudeau and will NEVER criticize him.

... yet more dis-information from the Pinocchio in Chief!

Prime Minister Trudeau never said that he had the vaccine under control. As stated previously on this same thread, many times, Canada's COVID vaccine strategy is to source vaccines from seven different suppliers while at the same time develop it's own vaccine manufacturing capability to combat future vaccines.

Canada rec'd 403,000 doses this week and will have ample doses by the end of next month.

Canada expects to have 75% of its citizens in the remote northern territories vaccinated by March end.

No, it is quite obvious that Billy has trouble reading. I have had doubts for some time now that he is even an adult. He argues like he is maybe 10 years old. If I am wrong I appologise.

Pressure on Trudeau grows as Canada’s world ranking on vaccines slips further

Posted February 18, 2021 7:42 am




Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign started on the same day in December as the United States, but it now lags dozens of countries, including its southern neighbor, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is feeling the pressure.

Canada’s lack of domestic vaccine production is at the root of the problem, forcing the country to depend on foreign companies with production abroad.

In June, Trudeau’s Liberals had an 11-percentage-point lead against their Conservative Party rival, according to Abacus Data. His government provided billions of dollars so people could stay home and not work during the pandemic while the virus spread rapidly in the United States.

Canada now ranks about 40th in the world in per capita vaccinations, according to the University of Oxford’s Our World in Data. Liberals now lead Conservatives only by one point, Abacus says.



“We don’t know if we’re really going to get all the promised doses… I’ll believe it when I see it,” opposition Conservative leader Erin O’Toole said on Tuesday during question period in parliament.

Canada has rec'd 403,000 vaccine doses this week. and will receive 475,000 doses next week from Pfizer. It will them receive 445,000 doses every week next month.

I know facts are not your strong point. You do try hard at "flaming" people.

You've been dismissed, son. Nobody is interested in your promises about what Canada is gonna do in the future. Canada ranks almost dead last on the vaccine rollout. Talk to me when you get in the top 10.


By the way, do you work for the Trudeau administration?

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Suck It Up Canadians, You’ll Get Your Turn to Get Vaccinated








Following criticisms for Canada's slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to procure doses that could otherwise go to poorer countries.




Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s opponents are simultaneously criticizing his government for failing to secure enough vaccine doses and for accepting nearly 2 million doses that could otherwise go to poorer countries.

“Quite obviously, you can't have it both ways,” said Dr. Maria Sundaram, an infectious disease epidemiologist based in Toronto.
To date, Canada has administered about 1 million vaccine doses, with Canada’s vaccination rate ranking 37th in the world—among the lowest for developed nations, according to Oxford’s Our World In Data vaccination tracker. Just under 3 percent of Canadians have been vaccinated so far, while the U.S. and U.K. have vaccinated 12.8 percent and 18.7 percent of their populations, respectively, as reported by Our World In Data.



“Worldwide vaccine supply being earmarked for countries that are harder hit actually makes some sense in terms of global outcomes,” Dr. Lynora Saxinger, a professor with the University of Alberta’s department of medical microbiology and immunology, previously told VICE World News.

Canada hasn’t been hit as hard by the pandemic, with the U.S. reporting the most COVID-19 cases in the world and the U.K. ranking fourth globally. Canada doesn’t even crack the top 20 for total infections, according to Johns Hopkins Data.




Yet Conservative opposition leader Erin O’Toole continues to criticize Trudeau’s inability to bring in vaccines. “Trudeau has botched the vaccine rollout. Without vaccines, Canadians won't be able to get back to work,” O’Toole tweeted on Friday.




Faced with mounting pressure to acquire more vaccines as fast as possible, Canada announced plans to withdraw 1.9 million doses from COVAX, an international vaccine redistribution pool. COVAX, in part, allows poor and middle-income countries that can’t afford to strike deals directly with vaccine manufacturers to get the vaccine.

Several leaders and experts have called Trudeau’s firm commitment to accepting vaccines from COVAX an “embarrassment.” He maintains that his priority is getting Canadians vaccinated first.

“I wish he made a different choice,” Sundaram said. By paying into COVAX, Canada is entitled to some vaccine, but “it’s expected that they would wait to ask until a later date, after other countries have been able to fulfill their needs,” she said.
“We need to sit down and ask, ‘Did we really mean we want to prioritize all older adults or did we mean we want to prioritize only older adults in wealthy countries?’” Sundaram said.

Trudeau has repeatedly said that all Canadians who want to be vaccinated will have the chance by September at the latest, while poorer countries around the world could be waiting until 2023 or 2024 to vaccinate their populations if nothing changes.


That’s dangerous, Sundaram said, because the virus travels across borders and it mutates. If the world doesn’t inoculate the most vulnerable populations as quickly as possible, people will die unnecessarily, and new vaccine-resistance COVID-19 variants could form, which could hop from country to country, she said.

The global vaccine race “shouldn't be country versus country; it should be all of us versus the virus,” Sundaram said. “We are in a race against time.”

Poorer countries can’t press for rapid vaccine rollouts the way Canadians can, and it’s “useful to put that into context,” Sundaram said.
Canada's biggest hurdle is that it doesn't have domestic capabilities to manufacture COVID-19 vaccines, so it depends on companies that produce doses elsewhere.

Two vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer, were approved by the country’s public health authority more than a month ago and both have announced shipment delays this month. Provinces and territories have already used up more than 86 percent of their supply so far, according to the Canadian Press. Canada is expecting 900,000 more doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to arrive at the end of the month, in part due to the fact that on Tuesday, Health Canada approved the pharmaceutical giants' request to use six doses per vial, as opposed to five, the Toronto Star reported.

I cannot remember a single post where you have expressed any concern about your own country's tragic struggle to fight COVID-19, which has killed 450,0000 of your fellow Americans. 19.5x the death rate in Canada.

You have not posted a single positive comment on how infections and deaths are beginning to significantly decline in the USA.

Before you crow about how the USA is so much better than Canada at managing this crisis, much of the credit as stated by the CDC Director is due to the fact that the holidays are over and people are not travelling as much therefore causing less super spreader events.

I know you prefer to throw stones at Canada. COVID-19 infections and death rates are declining here as well. Vaccines are only one tool in controlling the spread of COVID-19.
