All In This Together

For themselves;

Some hospitals and health systems are offering COVID-19 vaccines to staff who don’t interact with patients, including administrators and researchers, as thousands of front-line workers and long-term care residents wait for their turn to be inoculated.
 
Erie Shores HealthCare in Leamington, Ont., and Toronto’s Michael Garron Hospital each began vaccinating non-front-line staff in recent days, while the University Health Network in Toronto invited a wide range of staff to a last-minute vaccine clinic on Sunday. […]
 
With a limited supply of vaccines expected for the months to come, each province in the country has established ethical guidelines to ensure available doses are directed toward those most at risk. In Ontario, for example, the first phase of the vaccine rollout is meant to target health care workers and essential caregivers in hospitals, long-term care homes and other settings where seniors gather – followed by other essential caregivers, long-term care and retirement home residents, and First Nations.
 
Some hospitals say they’ve been forced to look outside these groups in order not to waste doses. Storage challenges have also limited distribution as the provinces ramp up their inoculation programs. Some regions have yet to see a single dose administered to high-risk populations, while several Toronto hospitals are planning to open up vaccination clinics to more staff this week.

  1. “the first phase of the vaccine rollout is meant to target …and First Nations.”

    Why First Nations?

      1. The cynic in me wants to suggest that there hasn’t been enough human testing, so they’re looking for test subjects. And they don’t want to risk anyone who is important to the testers.

        Man oh man, the turns in the US election have really got me thinking darkly.

    1. Let’s see if there are no reports from the corrupt Canadian MSM about mysterious deaths on the “sovereign” first nations. If no mysterious deaths occur, anyone contemplating being the next guinea pig for this vaccine may feel a bit safer doing so.

      I’m still saying to those getting to go to the front of the line: “Have at ‘er!”

    2. A lot of their communities are fairly remote. This is great so long as the Wuhan flu doesn’t find them. But, once it does, the whole community is going to be hit. So it makes sense to try to give them what protection is available.

      1. Well then immunize remote communities regardless of race/ethnicity. Or are you saying that the only remote communities are native?

    3. Why?

      Because they are not white people for one thing.

      The other thing is that they are not white people.

      Why would any thinking person want an untested substance injected into their bodies in the first place.

      This could work out okay in the end once the testing on first nations is complete.

  2. Adolf’s CTV had its political show tonight discuss what a wonderful job der Furher is doing. Its those right wing premiers that are delaying the roll out of the vaccines. Except in Quebec, Quebec is always wonderful.

  3. I absolutely know this to be true. A sister in law in another more important province ( administrative) gets it Friday while 2 frontline nurses in my family have no indication of when.

    1. Concerned:
      A sister in law ….. gets it. .
      That triggered a chuckle.
      Let’s hope not!

      1. These days anything that gets a chuckle is good. But I have found it’s the man that makes the woman hot.

  4. Yes, cause it is based on “scientism” rather than common sense, which would be to get the elderly done first. It’s just coincidence that the scientism means that the important people in the health system doing the sciencey-stuff get their shots first.

    1. I prefer to call it scientology, but I may be running into trademark violation territory by doing so.

  5. Also can people please stop saying “front line workers” those are entitled, privileged, half of the time incompetent publik sektor drones, not infantry storming Omaha Beach.

    1. Colonialista, jeziz, the phrase “front line workers” sickens me too.
      AND as they are ALL masked, and masks are great, why the worry.

      To say nothing about the bogus warrior lingo.

    2. If I had the money I’d buy cases of Spam and hard tack biscuit and go hand them out in their workplaces to the people are complaining that they should get priority for vaccination as “front line workers.”

    3. I’ll drink to that Colonialista!
      The drivel is getting very tired.
      As has been said before:
      If masks work why social distancing?
      If social distancing works why masks?
      If both work why lock downs?
      If 99.9+% survive why a vaccine?
      If after you had the “Vaccine” you still need masks and social distancing, what’s the point?
      What is in the vaccine?
      What happened to HCQ, why did that disappear?
      Why is it “safer” in a Costco or Walmart with 500 people than a small business with 20?
      What does a curfew do, does the CCP flu only come out after 10:00 pm?
      When entering a restaurant you need to wear a mask but can take it off when you get to the table. Is the flu hanging out at 6 ft’? Do you need a mask if you are short?
      Why is the 6 ft rule waived on airplanes? Special filtration?
      Why are gatherings limited outside when transmission is unlikely? Especially in the winter.
      How many actual flu deaths this past year? Why is it near or at zero? Did they find a cure or are they all COVID?
      Why are Chief Medical Officers getting paid $450,000 a year to just take orders from W.H.O. who can’t be trusted along with the federal government? Not even suggesting options for their provincial situations because are they not “experts”? In Manitoba, StatsCan weekly deaths graph 2015 to 2020; 2020 is buried in the noise, no spike, no above the line excess deaths. No pandemic, yet the province has the strictest lock down happening, a Conservative government to boot. No re-election for you Pallister, resign and move to your pad on Costa Rica for good. They will claim their relentless attack on the spread of the virus is why we had no spike here is bullshit, lock downs, masks and distancing don’t work, global evidence abounds. They are protected by the media pushing the casedemic.
      The plan is for when Biden takes office, does the 100 day mask thing and WHO will revise guidelines on PCR tests to only cycle to 20, new “cases” plummet, Biden is a genius, the vaccines are doing their job, thank God Orange man bad is gone. COVID goes away.
      But
      Biden will not be inaugurated, he’s going to Gitmo.
      I guess they will have to congratulate Trump to their chagrin.

      1. If lockdowns work, why are we having another lockdown?
        If lockdowns do not work, why are we having another lockdown?

  6. How will the hoi polloi ever make it if one of the bureaucrats gets a cough? Think of the middle managers people!

    1. Oh, I do, Johnboy. And so do a lot of the real workers out there – the actual teachers, nurses, aides, instructors, etc., etc., who find their ability to actually do their job seriously impeded by the requirements for reports, courses, studies, etc., so the middle managers can look productive.

  7. Joke’s on them. The vaccine is distilled water.

    The only people in Canada who got a genuine vaccine got it months ago. They work for the Red Chinese foreign ministry and intelligence agencies.

  8. I volunteer to get jabbed last. In the world.
    I’m not against it or a feared, just don’t fucking care.
    As for the backroom hospital pricks who make boocoo pesos increasing wait times, purchasing newsprint-like toilet paper, soylent green hospital food and sucking dry the teat of the taxpayer while decrying the state of financing, fuckoff and die.

  9. Sorry “frontline” hurt some sensibilities. I am just curios though – when it’s the middle of the night and you are a nurse working alone in a small hospital and six drunk blood covered people are pounding hysterically at you door and you let them in, would that be considered frontline? You see a few minutes before several of them were stabbing each other. And 2 of them died. And 2 of the stabbed were saved. But I am sure you all are much more badass than that.

    1. Did any of them train for and sign up for the job thinking it would be something it isn’t?

  10. I had the vaccine yesterday. I live in a civilized state, Florida, where the vaccine is given out according to medically assessed risk. It was supposed to be a 70% chance of headache, 70% chance of fatigue, and 70% chance of achey muscles, all I have experienced is a slightly runny nose that could be allergies. Maybe they gave me a placebo.

    I know that they want to paint DeSantis as some kind of evil dictator, but he seems to be doing a pretty good job running this state, I think the thing that the liberals hate most is that our elections run pretty smoothly and are hard to steal.

    1. tim, you are a courageous lad doing that for us. To take an untested vaccine, unsure if it will just arrest symptoms if you contract the virus, unsure if it can prevent the transmission of the virus, unsure about everything related to it except – the drug companies are exempt from any liability arising from adverse reactions to it, up to and including death. Keep all us SDA’ers in the loop. If you suddenly disappear should we be concerned?
