What research have you done? Where have you run rings around us logically? Fine to pontificate. Harder to prove.
I am comparing vaccination rates between the USA, UK, EU as a bloc, Australia and New zealand, our nearest comparables in the first world.
Other than the USA and UK* home producing their way to success, the rest are due to be on the same schedule as Canada, fully vaccinated by fall.
Thus, our nearest comparable nations in terms of size, population, proximity and wealth are doing as well, or slightly better or worst than Canada.
Europe is having the same questions as Canada about their vaccine rollout, with politicians feeling the pressure to speed up the process and being subject to the same delivery schedule that Canada is subject to, due to these things being out of their control.
So the question needs to be asked, are we failing? If so in comparison to who? The USA and UK? Israel? Sure. The worlds main superpower beat us with their native manufacturing capabilities. The UK, same story, homegrown manufacturing leading to a good roleout. Israel agreed to be a population sized sample study for a pharmaceutical company, not something canada could exactly replicate. turkey is doing well, but they are banking on the sinovac, something Canada isn't in the position to do.
So how are we doing against places like the EU, australia, and new zealand? We are worlds ahead of Australia and new zealand, but they do not have a case of massive community spreads. So EU is the main comparable. they are sitting around 12 percent last I checked and Canada is at 10-11 percent.
So the middle powers like Canada are in the exact same boat as the European Union. Behind places like the USA and UK. So how are we failing? By what metric? That we are not as good as a superpower? That we don't have homegrown vaccine manufacturing like the UK? Or that we are ever so slightly behind the EU? By what reasonable metric are you basing your "Feds suck" rhetoric?
The problem here is that nothing I said here supports your simplistic Feds suck narrative and thus I doubt you will address these points. I believe you will likely fall back on, "feds suck" and leave it at that, because I don't think you want to consider anything beyond what you believe, the variables, the context, the other countries in the world and their responses. I because if you did any serious looking into it, you might reconsider your position, and why would you want to do that when "feds suck" is much simpler and already fits your worldview?
*And the same people comparing Canada to the UK and USA in terms of vaccinating the population gloss over the fact that they are amongst the worst in the entire world when it comes to death rates per 100,000 people
