Well given the complete botch job most western countries achieved in every other area related to the pandemic - I guess a vaccine roll-out debacle should not be a surprise .
Isn't Canada making it's own vaccines or is it just importing everything from the states? If one crawls out of the western MSM bubble you see that the countries that have done the best in controlling this virus are taking a different approach. For example, Thailand is buying the Sinovac vaccine which uses well tested (if somewhat less effective) dead virus technology for immediate use in at risk populations. It also cut a deal with AstraZeneca for
domestic production of their newer technology vaccine through a local pharmaceutical company; but that will only be approved after more safety data is available (probably later in the summer). Until then they are using their effective public health systems to keep things under control and the fatality rate as low as possible. Common sense has not been entirely stamped out in a grab for profits over anything else. Korea and most other advanced countries in Asia are doing the same thing. Making sure the new vaccines are safe and effective, and until then, using public health tools to keep things in check and prepare the infrastructure.
South Korea's waiting game with the COVID-19 vaccine
So Asia is watching how the guinea pigs in west do before committing wholesale to unproven new technologies, and Canada would likely be well served by paying more attention to successful countries rather than relying on the failed state to the south.
