USA now vaccinating more people against COVID-19 in one day than Canada has in total: https://www.cp24.com/news/usa-now-vaccin...-1.5317891
At the start of this pandemic I was quite pleased with our response (for the most part). A year later, our ability to control this virus and vaccinate our population is absolutely abysmal. They managed to vaccinate 1.7 million people a day in the USA last week whereas we've only managed to vaccinate 1.4 million people in a span of close to 3 months. It's not just in the USA where they have production facilities that give them some edge over us either. Over the weekend, two friends in I have in Europe (early 20s/Germany and 30s/France) were vaccinated, the former sitting in a park, drinking beer with friends hours later. Nobody in Canada in these age groups will have any hope whatsoever of being vaccinated for months to come. This article also mentions that we're expected to administer 1.5 million doses over the course of 3 weeks! Why do we need 3 weeks to vaccinate even less people than the USA manages to do in a single day? It's an absolute joke.
