So are we all hot about JT's inability to allow for domestic Vaccine Manufacturing?
Not really, the reason for the inability seems fairly straightforward - JT was still a little girl in pig-tails when the inability was being encouraged in Ottawa. I suppose they coulda/shoulda/woulda surged a couple billion into production facilities the way China surged hospitals but that's just one more delicacy in the smorgasbord of unpreparedness we're muddling thru this with.
What'll chap my ass is if I find out the government is ignoring the apparent reality some 60% of Canadians aren't interested in being vaccinated and not focussing their efforts on people who are interested.

Well, it'll tickle the fancy of doom and rage scrollers, but it sounds like we'll get some vaccine and probably lots within the best-case 18 month time-frame experts were advising we'd need to get thru this, which is August-Sept 2021.
In the meantime...we should be instituting a well-funded shelter-in-place strategy like we did when this started until we do get the vaccine. If there's any one thing we've learned it's that money makes everything easier. I know the debt-cult will scream "that's forever!!!" but they're just another different virulent strain of covidiots. The other probably more important thing we've learned is just how disastrously unprepared we were for the effect of stupidity - COVID's favourite and most productive vector.
