There is a difference between referring to where a variant is first observed, and insinuating that a virus was engineered and released (accidentally or deliberately) by a country's government.

A few snippets from the NACI recommendation: "Data from the two clinical trials for mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTechFootnote 1 and ModernaFootnote 2) provide evidence that indicates that efficacy against symptomatic disease begins as early as 12 to 14 days after the first dose. Excluding the...

Thanks for clarifying and including the proposed June vaccine deliveries. I think PuckChaser is not wrong to be sceptical, though, given the sometimes unpredictable delays in delivery. Hopefully the vaccines arrive as scheduled. I'll reiterate again that we've had our hands tied by a lack of...

While I'm not sure that a lack of supply is driving the third wave in ON, I agree that the chances of getting all Canadians their first shot by Canada Day is looking unlikely at this point, unless manufacturers can address their production and backlog issues.

Probably more appropriate to compare Canada to a similar country with no domestic production capability whatsoever. But that point was made and discussed pages ago. If Canada had maintained a domestic vaccine production capability, the various provincial restrictions could have probably been...

For the record, I'm not advocating stay-at-home orders or tightening of restrictions, although certain temporary restrictions seem to have impact where I live. I'll echo what other posters have mentioned: it would be helpful if public health officials would offer more data supporting /...

Actually, precisely 1 province has a stay-at-home order in effect. Most provinces have varying restrictions, but only Ontario has such an order in effect, and it's a bit early to be seeing any results, exactly 1 day in. Alberta implemented stronger social gathering restrictions in December...

Good post. Looks like Ontario still needs to ramp up administration of the vaccine, but at least the trend is showing improvement: 108,563 doses administered yesterday. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-19-vaccines-ontario As far as increasing supply is concerned, I'm not sure what else...

Fully agree with this statement - but a similar lens can be applied to the federal distribution effort. The federal government is getting the vaccines out the door as soon as they can; they have no control over how quickly they arrive from the manufacturer - the sad reality due to a lack of...

Didn't mean to upset you - wasn't meant to be an aggressive post. You've been aiming a fair bit of blame at the Feds, and echoing Premier Ford's claims that federal vaccine deliveries have caused a backlog in Ontario's rollout. That's all I'm addressing. Other than production delays that are...

So 45,000 short. Feds' fault?

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/prevention-risks/covid-19-vaccine-treatment/vaccine-rollout.html According to link above, as of 5 April: Total distribution in Canada: 10,059,962 Covishield: 500,000 Pfizer / Biontech: 6,169,782 Moderna...

If we're reading the same article, it states: "Ford countered criticism that the province continues to have large amounts of vaccine doses in freezers — around 1.5 million as of Tuesday. He said the vast majority of those doses are already scheduled to go into peoples’ arms and the bulk arrived...

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/06/politics/coronavirus-vaccine-deadline-biden/index.html The US is not stating that all Americans wanting a vaccine can receive it by end of April. President Biden is directing states to ensure that all American adults are made eligible to receive a vaccine...

I had always assumed the various departments were headed by LCdrs. Thanks!

Limited navy knowledge here - on a typical CPF, how many LCdrs positions are there ?

The last few pages of this thread have been an interesting read. Lots to unpack. There are a few realities that the federal government is dealing with while attempting a massive vaccination program: -lack of domestic vaccine production capability; -large geographic areas; -mix of dispersed...

https://covid19tracker.ca/provincevac.html?p=ON It doesn't appear that the tracking takes into account whether or not a vaccine has been "spoken for". The language used on the website is -"delivered", and -"administered". As of 1338 CST today, the difference between the 2 numbers is 549,482.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/regulatory-approval-of-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca/information-for-uk-recipients-on-covid-19-vaccine-astrazeneca I'm not sure why you state that the AZ vaccine "of course only needs one shot." The UK govt website above states that it is a 2 shot...
