Canada’s covid-19 second wave is a humbling moment after a summer of bragging
- Thread starter TreeFrogTrader
- Start date
Whoa...
Canada caught up with the United States in 1st dose vaccination...
I bet it has much to do with the vaccine hesitancy and access issues in which Canada has a better historical record with equality in its vaccinations of its ethnic communities than the United States.
Regardless, the United States vaccination per 100 has been slowing down since mid-April and soon Canada will get millions more vaccines by July.
- At the same time...the United States has a better supply of vaccines.

Covid-19 Vaccination Rates By Race in United States
- Native Americans 45% in comparison its +50% in Canada / +70% in the northern territories
- Asian Americans 41%
- White Americans 33%
- Hispanic Americans 29%
source: Kaiser Health News / CDC
- Black Americans 22%
For the record, Canada has been running more alerts here in Québec when vaccination sites open with supplies of vaccines...telling people that anyone can come in to get vaccinated...no appointment needed.
Unfortunately, its only available in the heavy hit Covid infection areas.

Ontario is doing an excellent job rolling out vaccines schedules are being accelerated in some cases. Only 8% of Canadians would refuse to get a vaccine at this point versus something like 25% in the US. Don't be a "Jem" people ignorance is not a virtue
.While Canada may have been behind the US in vaccine roll out it has rapidly moved up that chart on a world basis. It's a shame really that so many Americans are scared to take the vaccine would rather risk getting Covid.

Another genius from the Toronto area.

CANADA CHARGES SOLDIER WITH MUTINY FOR REFUSING TO DISTRIBUTE COVID VACCINES
"I MIGHT GET IN A LOT OF SHIT FOR DOING THIS, BUT I DON’T CARE ANYMORE."
Kenderesi made an appearance at an anti-lockdown rally at the end of last year in Toronto, Canada while wearing his Canadian Forces uniform. According to the Citizen‘s reporting, he also called the vaccine a “killer.”

Let's see how vaccine distribution is going in Canada...
COVID-19: Thousands of expiring AstraZeneca doses not yet sent to pharmacies, Ontario says
https://globalnews.ca/news/7899159/ontario-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-expiring/
TORONTO — Thousands of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines expiring next week were still undergoing quality checks in Ontario on Thursday, as pharmacists set to administer the doses expressed frustration over the delay.
A stockpile of 45,000 doses expires Monday, while 10,000 more expire at the end of June. The province said about 5,000 were to be sent out later Thursday, another 12,000 were to be cleared Friday and others were still under review.
A spokeswoman for the health minister said the quality checks were needed because storage data for some of the doses was incomplete.
“No dose will be sent that isn’t deemed to be safe,” said Alexandra Hilkene.
Ontario stopped giving out first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine earlier this month after saying it was linked to an increased risk of a rare but serious blood clotting disorder.
The province started offering second shots of the vaccine this week — at a 10-week dosing interval — to the first batch of AstraZeneca recipients in order to use up the doses that expire soon.
Ontarians who received the vaccine between March 10 and March 19 in Kingston, Windsor and Toronto are eligible to book second doses — though just 162 of the original 325 sites are participating this time around.
Approximately 90,000 people participated in the AstraZeneca pilot during that time frame. Many have reported issues and frustration with booking second appointments.
Approximately 26,600 soon-to-expire AstraZeneca doses had been sent out as of Thursday morning, Hilkene said.
The distribution delay largely affected Toronto pharmacies, according to the head of the Ontario Pharmacists Association.
Justin Bates said five Toronto sites and those in Kingston and Windsor received doses earlier in the week, but 99 pharmacies in Toronto were still waiting.
Those still set to receive doses were also informed their shipments would be smaller than anticipated, with more possibly coming on Friday, Bates said. Some were forced cancel appoints and change staff schedules, with less time to get through the doses before the end of the day on Monday.
“It is asking a lot,” Bates said. “I’m still confident we’ll be able to mobilize and make every effort to get those shots in arms. The demand is high, but it is putting them in a tough spot.”
Kyro Maseh, owner of a Pharmasave in east Toronto, said Thursday morning that he had ordered 400 doses of the soon-to-expire AstraZeneca shots but still didn’t know when he’d receive the shipment.
He had to reschedule patient appointments and beg volunteers to change their schedules as well.
“I am trying to do my part and help so that people could get the optimum protection, but I’m in the face of a gun now and I’m the one having to reschedule and explain to patients and get yelled at,” he said.

The tightened schedule left Maseh mulling whether he and his volunteers would be able to administer all the expected doses before they expire.
Ontario reported 1,135 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday and 19 more deaths linked to the virus. The data was based on more than 37,700 completed tests.
The Ministry of Health reported 1,072 hospitalizations in Ontario, including 650 patients are in intensive care and 452 are on a ventilator.

How bad does your local hockey team have to suck to be mocked by the Department of Public Health...
The Canadians don't even dare to get uppity this week.
They clearly are in a period of national shame with the revealing of the mass graves for First Nations students at boarding school/s.
Shame, shame. Deep national shame.
Too much time spent on following every fault in the U.S and not paying attention to their own issues. Covid being another example of courst.

That's fine, @ninefeetunder is still proud, let him get the Canadian flag out of his ass than he'll come and wave it here.
Don't mind the smell.
Yes, the Catholic church has a long history of such atrocities over centuries. Even to this day, they try to interfere with women's rights to abortion and not respect women as equals. Of all the churches in Canada, the Catholic church is the only one that hasn't apologized for their role in the residence schools. Throw that in with their history of covering up the sexual abuse of young people by priests in Canada and the US.
This shame falls clearly on the Catholic church and those who acted with evil intent on behalf of the church.
Might be time for millions of people to reconsider their religion.
Oh, btw, let me blow your low performing mind and just say it. I'll get "uppity" about being Canadian any time I want to. Because Canada is a great country. I'm really happy that we are really good at producing outstanding young people. Not dumb asses like you that lack a strong moral compass and an ability to think compassionately and critically about the world.
