THREAD: Trudeau dragged his feet and now Canada lags behind every other G7 country in terms of when the vaccine will be available to our citizens. Canada will have a vaccine later than rest of G7 because the Libs waited until Aug. to start signing deals. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/trudeau-warns-covid-19-vaccine-will-come-later-to-canada-than-other-countries

Some countries already had more-developed vaccine manufacturing capacity, but others like Spain re-tooled to produce vaccines that were likely to be approved, so that their citizens could be vaccinated quickly. Canada did not. What is the Trudeau govt's explanation for that?

Mexico’s Foreign Minister has said Mexico will begin getting the Pfizer vaccine by mid-December. Last time I checked, Pfizer is not produced domestically in Mexico. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-mexico-vaccines-idUSKBN2842D7

As I said months ago on @TheHerleBurly while other countries were signing deals with pharma corps in Mar. & Apr., Canada entered into a failed agreement in May between the NRC & CanSino - a company funded by Beijing & producing its vaccine with the PLA.
