The poor nation of canada is being criticized for dipping into a vaccine pool it funded as part of an agreement to get access to a pool of vaccines intended for poor countries. This has drawn global criticism from the poors and even some leftist canadians who find trudeau to be too conversative for their liking believing that canada should wait its turn for the vaccine instead of getting ahead of the queue. This brings us to the topic of vaccine nationalism which... i don'tsee a problem with. Why would you not want to protect your countries citizens before prioritizing the rest of the world 🤔?

Where do our resident pardians stand on the issue of vaccine nationalism?

Justin Trudeau is facing growing pressure to speed up Canada’s sluggish distribution of the coronavirus vaccine, as the country fends off accusations that it is taking supplies of the drug meant for developing countries.

The federal government drew sharp criticism last week when it announced that it would draw on Covax, a mechanism created to fairly distribute Covid-19 around the world, for its supply of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Canada is entitled to receive shots through the Covax program, which uses advance purchases by wealthy nations to subsidise doses for poorer countries. But it had already completed a series of direct deals with pharmaceutical companies to secure its own supply, prompting accusations of “double-dipping”.

People die from the flu all year round. People die from many things . You don't have to kill whole economy with a political agenda for a 99.9% survival rate flu

If you can't actually see the # are inflated and that it's blown out of proportion for many reasons that ain't good for you ... i don't know what to say. Enjoy living in lalaland.

It's actually undercounted by at least 25% and probably around 33%

You're pulling numbers out of your ass.

There are ~320M people in the US. If all 320M caught the Rona and 00.1% died from it, 320K people would have died. As it is, we're at 455K dead, and maybe 1/10th of the population affected.
