You clearly are not an opportunistic politician. If you want to redistribute the wealth of others; Global Warming, the China Virus and Socialism are your best friends.
BTW I feel for the folks in Canada. That said.....didn't all the dem candidates hold their health system up as the shining example for the US to follow?
It has nothing to do with the health care system in Canada and everything to do with economic leverage for access to vaccines. The US funded a huge portion of research into vaccines, as did other countries with the large pharmaceutical companies. Canada has none, so we had to wait in line to buy them, with no economic leverage. That is the primary reason for lack of supply in Canada as compared to the US. Sometimes living in the apartment above the gorilla is not an advantage LOL.
I know a few Doctors that are "involved" in Ontario decision making and there are actions coming as vaccine supply increases in Canada to accelerate the second doses. The ONLY reason for delaying second doses what the fact that medical experts said that the first dose gives a significant improvement in the chances of COVID causing sever illness, so they decided to vaccinate as many high risk with dose 1 as they could until supplies increased. They just decided to decrease the age that people can sign up to get it to 40. So that is in place now. The next stage when the large shipments of vaccines come is to accelerate 2nd doses for the high risk groups.
The Ontario hospital ICU's are rapidly filling with severe cases, mostly of variants. The hospital crisis is real. Many of them will make it, but a lot won't. In the meantime, full ICU's means that car accidents, heart attacks, strokes, and other emergency issues will be impacted if ICU's are full. That is the crisis that this lockdown is trying to avert.
And by the way, I disagree with some of the lockdown aspects. They are using a shotgun approach rather than a rifle. There are some rifle shots, like focusing on high risk places/employers. But they waited too long to do that, and then case numbers skyrocketed.
