It also means, those outside hot zones, would need to wait even longer for P or M. In effect potentially recreating what happened to First Nations when Europeans arrived in NA.
With AZ supplies relatively plentiful, and not being gobbled up, they opened the floodgates to the larger demographic and those aged 40+. Those, who are at smaller risk, and those who we could assume are more social. Want to get out and about...basically, the most likely age demographics to be spreading it, and some of whom, will no doubt feel even more able to mingle. I’m vaxxed...
On the airwaves today, the Liberals and officials are making soundbytes. Lots, about 40% of the population now having received a shot.
Makes for good press, given the beating they took fall through winter over their vaccine screw ups.
What better way to save face and votes.
Politically motivated to get as many as possible jabbed, as fast as possible despite risk, and in some ways, perhaps, not as efficiently to protect those at risk.
