Q: Why no Novavax in Canada?

A: Because Novavax signed a contract to manufacture it in Canada—and Novavax are breaching the contract.

Novavax even ADMIT it.👇🏼

And IMHO, they are kicking patients they abandoned to the curb—sickeningly unethical.🧵 Image If @Novavax were ethical, it would not punish Canadian patients for its contractual breach.

It would take responsibility.

So how about offering Canadians a free coupon to get vaccinated in the USA, Novavax?

It’s the least you can do after breaching your contract with Canada.

Number of approved COVID vaccines:

🇺🇸: 3 (Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax)
🇨🇦: 0

Canada is at least ONE MONTH behind, says Health Canada, so welcome to Sick September, friends.

WTF @JustinTrudeau? Why? Canada’s fall vaccination plan was ready and published in May. See link below.👇🏼

But as usual, the Liberals are incompetent, and dragged their feet rolling it out. So Canadians fail to get what Americans got weeks ago.

Of course Danielle Smith should be prosecuted for obstructing justice. Read for yourself: 1) She asked the Crown to change its document disclosure to the accused.

2) She asked the Crown to show the accused clemency.

3) She ADMITS this on tape.

Of course those are attempts (albeit lame ones) to pervert the course of Justice. Prosecute her.

You know that so-called blockbuster that “proved” COVID came from an infected animal?

Well, the scientists behind it are now in trouble, suspended from data access for unethically stealing credit from their colleagues. thestar.com/news/canada/20… The facts are these: low quality, incomplete genetic evidence suggests an animal origin, and low quality, incomplete espionage suggests a negligent lab leak. Either is possible, putting odds on it is guesswork. Anyone professing to “know” simply doesn’t.
