Canada First? “Never Apologize” For Getting COVID-19 Vaccines Ahead Of Poorer Countries

Whoa, Canada! Our neighbor to the north has come under fire for drawing COVID-19 vaccine doses from the international consortium meant to preserve supplies for poorer countries, a consortium that the US under Donald Trump pointedly eschewed in favor of Trump’s “America First” philosophy. Now, Justin Trudeau’s government has resorted to defending its self-interest, vowing no apologies for putting Canada first:

Each government is totally responsible first and foremost for its own citizens. This concept of delaying your own citizens access to life-saving vaccines even as your own citizens are dying each day so someone in another country can have some? Absolutely absurd.

“...under fire for drawing COVID-19 vaccine doses from the international consortium meant to preserve supplies for poorer countries”

That criticism only applies towards the U.S.

Trudeau had only one job to do during this whole, ginned up ‘Covid-19 crisis’. As Parliament has basically been suspended, with ‘His Highness’ (er, his lowness, to be more precise) ‘ruling’ by edict, his only REAL job was to get vaccines for Canadians. As with everything else he does, he failed poorly at that. I guess it is just easier for him to remain at Rideau Cottage, (his residence while the Official Residence of the Prime Minister is under renovation), smoke dope, and watch Netflix.

His gubmint arranged (ie: paid millions) to get vaccines from multiple suppliers. Over the last little while, all the major manufacturers have cut Canada off for some period of time. Instead of calling the executives of these companies, hounding them to live up to their commitments, he’s failed, as per usual. Canada is FAR behind ANY ‘first world’ countries, in terms of percentage of population that has been vaccinated. To call him a ‘lightweight’ in the field of diplomacy (or almost everything else), is an insult to ‘lightweights’ everywhere.

No surprise that he’s pushing to the head of the line of countries that cannot afford the vaccines. A ‘third world’ dictator driving his country into ‘third world’ status. The ChiComs he so admires respect him so much, they call him ‘Little Potato’.

So give the vaqccines to the poor countries. When the richer countries people die off there will be no food shipments to the poor countries so they will starve to death.

Nukes (or nuques, if you prefer) are quicker, aren’t they?

The regulatory agencies of fedgov are denying or slow-walking approval of medications such as Ivermectin.

A hospital in the Houston area is all-in with MATH+ protocol and Ivermectin. Their serious cv19 cases are being discharged following recovery (almost 100% rate). Meanwhile another large hospital chain that I know of is refusing the exact same therapeutics, claiming that they do not work. The family of one patient at the latter hospital group had to beg for a week for the patient to be given a miniscule quantity of vitamin C. The hospital would prefer that the patient die rather than try therapeutics. The first attending MD actually mocked the family for requesting therapeutics.

Do you have the names of the two hospitals?

Doctors I’ve talked to about Ivermectin have had some success with it, so long as it’s used early enough to make a difference. And it’s definitely in use in various places, depending on how much individual doctors have been willing to test the waters of new treatment options. But a wonder drug with a 100% cure rate? That I haven’t seen from any doctors who’ve been using it.

I 100% agree that we should be arming doctors with every tool available to save patients’ lives, but I also want to ensure we’re continuing to approach these things with evidence-based care. HCQ was supposed to be the cure-all wonder drug as well. It proved to have limited impact and only in very narrow circumstances. So far the most effective treatment I’ve seen in effect are the monoclonal antibody therapies (like what President Trump got).

“Do you have the names of the two hospitals?”

Not sharing them with you. Not interesting in having you attempt to shut down the hospital saving patients. I believe that some MDs here would do exactly that. And not interested in this coming back on me legally.

The evidence is that Dr Kory’s team is treating the patients at the second hospital, and that the FLCCC team appears to be the only one with a highly successful protocol for serious cases. Senator Johnson mentioned that Kory was let go by his hospital in NY for his Ivermectin testimony, and I am confident that MDs here would support his termination

HCQ is an ionophore and must be used with zinc in early stages. Every paper I have seen, US and international, shows benefits, except for a small handful set up to fail. Why would the Lancet fake data and then retract their smear job?

No wonder HCQ works, since zinc inhibits viral replication.

You can deny all you want. I’ve been a wellness patient for over 20 years, and I (and others) know exactly how conventional medicine behaves when MDs don’t follow the Pharma “standard of care”. Your attempt at sounding reasonable is belied by the behavior of just about every conventional MD I have ever met. I’ll leave it at that. My last expression of what I really thought of conventional MDs netted me some time in the FR penalty box.
