I haven't posted thoughts in awhile but this has been fbits and pieces of this has been nagging at me:
If you asked me before November (yes before #Biden got elected) if I thought Canada or the US was more prepared with regards to #COVID19 . I would have said Canada. 1/?

I don’t remember the statistics from then: there have been too many, I was working (and by December, like my co-workers- and probably everyone in #retail- burnt out) but I (with scepticism) trusted what Trudeau, Ford and Tory were saying. 2/?

Then January hit. And #January6th happened. And then- thankfully- Biden and Harris got sworn in.
And then both Canada and the US started getting vaccines. In arms. And one day it switched. I turned on the news one day, heard #Trudeau speak. And didn’t believe a word he said. 3/?

I no longer trust him. Our Prime Minister. Ford, our Premier, accusing @solmamakwa - who was invited to fly north to get vaccinated & dispel hesitancy- it was despicable.
I didn’t listen to today’s multitude of coverage about the 1yr anniversary of #COVID19 . We’ve lived it. 4/?

I don’t need to hear it to remember it. I am thankful that my roommate (who I moved in with 2mos before this whole thing started) and I get along.
But do I believe that my parents (who are in the 70+ age bracket) will get their vaccine within a month? No. 5/?

Do I believe that by summer I will? No. Do I think by September adults will be vaccinated (despite more vaccines coming)? No.
I do believe that vaccines are coming. I do not believe @fordnation when he talks about putting vaccines into arms. 6/?

Do I think we will keep opening and going back into lockdown? Yes. The variants are taking over, vaccines are not going into arms fast enough; and what I find even scarier is that provinces are delaying the second dose to 4mos (for vaccines that require 2 doses). 7/?

Here’s my question (and with the inundation of news I could have missed it): did anyone ask the CEO’s at Pfizer or Moderna if this is a good idea? Has someone from either company made a statement about multiple provinces doing this? 8/?

I don't know when I will trust #Trudeau again. I do know that #Ontario remembers all the money you cut from healthcare shortly before the pandemic hit #DougFord.
