Can’t afford to drop the ball on vaccine rollout

Re Explaining the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, Dec.

10

Some have called the COVID-19 vaccine an injection of hope, and now the approved Pfizer vaccine, like a Hail Mary touchdown pass, has arrived.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is our fervid hope that, in the rollout of this lifesaving blessing, the ball will not be dropped, so that all Canadians can again truly know what normality really means in their lives.

Any intelligent person reading the news on COVID-19 vaccines regularly, and I hope the leader of the PC party is one of them, would know that there is still a high uncertainty about the supply of vaccines in the whole world.

In my opinion, it shows great skill and achievement on the part of our PM and his ministers that we have actually managed to get the quarter million doses by next week.

There are still many steps in planning, including the creation of more capacity to produce the vaccines. There is no one who can accurately predict when there will be enough to reach everyone in the world. For PC Leader, Erin O’Toole, to complain that the PM is to blame for not giving us a date when everyone will have access is juvenile politicking.
