🧵Why the 4 month delay for our 2nd #CovidVaccine🇨🇦?
The NACI document that this is all based on: "studies have not yet collected four months of data on vaccine effectiveness after the first dose" canada.ca/en/public-heal…
Translation: It's an experiment.

2/ So this delay in doses - let me list the ways this can bite us:
While rushing to cover as many people as we can with 1 dose, will we leave many partially immunized and just get more ICU admissions?
Yes, because THAT we have data for: bbc.com/future/article…
And then...

"it will leave the country vulnerable to variants — those already circulating, as well as new ones that could evolve inside the bodies of partially vaccinated people who are not able to swiftly fight off an infection."

4/ If we think #vaccinehesitancy is problem now, can you imagine what it would be if we didn't show enough of a decline in IUC admissions/infections with our first round of #CovidVaccine rollout?
Why ask #vaccine manufacturers to do #science and then ignore it for expediency?

5/ This is why: “It’s a very dangerous proposal to leave the second dose to a later date,” said Dr. Luciana Borio"

6/ History will judge this decision - no one will buy the idea that we had to do this. It’s a choice. Lets speak up before we have a whole lot of variants grown in partially immunized people + a population that no longer trusts the doctors who failed to speak up and protect them.
7/ adding this because the silence is deafening.
