I have been trying to process my emotions upon hearing reports that Ontario has only utilized a tiny fraction of the vaccines that are currently available over the past few days...

I am angry. I am angry that governments that repeatedly fail to listen to public health experts and exploit images of health workers as political props are making decisions that cause direct harm. /1

I am sad. I am sad for the families that could not gather, for the people who experienced the heart-wrenching loneliness that this winter has brought. I am sad that the government took these days off when every day makes a difference. /2

I am disappointed. I really wanted to give the government the benefit of the doubt. I know now is a difficult time with many difficult decisions. But if my local drug store can be open Christmas Day from 9-6 why can't we be vaccinating people? /3

One day, stories will be told about those who stood up, worked hard, and sacrificed for the greater good. History will not be kind to those who sat back and dithered while lives were lost because of their inaction.
