COVID - A light on the horizon?

The Canadian Medical Association has come out with a brilliant plan to take vaccines away from Nova Scotia (because of our successful management of the pandemic) and redistribute them to other "more needy" provinces, like Ontario whose Premier has consistently and thoroughly mismanaged the situation. They are throwing away doses because they can't get them into arms fast enough, and they want more? The current model of vaccine distribution is based on proportion of population, and that is how it should be.
Haven't you heard? Toronto needs ALL the vaccines.

COVID mass vaccination centre in Nice closes early after just 58 people turn up

A mass vaccination centre in the French city of Nice closed early this weekend after just 58 of the 4,000 available doses were administered.

The site was set up to offer doses of vaccine to people over the age of 55 working in jobs that leave them particularly exposed to the virus, such as teachers and police officers.

It closed after just a few hours on Saturday as footfall was too low, and amid claims that some people left on learning they would receive the AstraZeneca jab.

"We had only 58 people show up this morning for the 4,000 doses of vaccine available," Benoit Huber, chief of staff of the Alpes-Maritimes prefect, said on Saturday.

For its part, Grasse prefecture argued that the low turnout may be down to the fact that the département of Alpes-Maritime only has 3,000 teachers over the age of 55, and many will have already received their first dose.

But deputy prefect Anne Frackowiak-Jacobs also told France 3: "There were people who turned away when they found out it was AstraZeneca."

:gripe: aaarghh.
And I want the damn vaccine ASAP. Goddamnit.
