    1. @2steps4ward 100% agree. There is very little info about what could of gone wrong. These vaccines need to be stored in -70 degree Celsius. Who knows what happened specifically. Improper care could of led to impurities build up or something. I’d be more worried if we started seeing hundreds of ppl having fatal reactions from all over the world from many different countries where the medication is being administered. Not saying i feel its 100% risk free mind you but more information is needed in my opinion.

  1. I mean, it’s almost like someone in charge should have started investing in domestic production facilities back in March…

    1. Yeah that’s right and to think we’ve always maintained the ability to produce vaccines. Just too stupid to buy the rights to produce the vaccines for ourselves.

  2. You don’t send a trust fund baby to make deals, why aren’t we manufacturing here. Maybe we should have invested the 850 million we gave WHO into manufacturing.

  3. Great questions but it looks like she has very little answers. It does not seem like the definition of “equitable” is the same all around. Like he said maybe the prime Minister should get on the phone. Its one thing to have this person call its another to have the PM of canada call and ask whats going on. Especially when it feels like we are getting the run around.
