Having delays in vaccines is resulting in huge political problems. This is primarily for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Govt. However, on the contrary earlier the Govt. of Trudeau had received huge appreciations. This is with regards to their efforts for the Canadian people while fighting the pandemic. Their efforts have been exemplary and helped a great deal in keeping the infection rates lower. This is as compared to their neighbouring country United States.
The early success of Canada & the Canadian authorities in combating the virus was attributed to their aggressive approach to fight against the pandemic. This is while promoting wearing masks in public. Apart from social distancing, and other highly preventive measures that proved useful in the end. The attitude earlier adopted by Trudeau was far better and optimistic. This is in comparison to that of his counterpart from USA. In terms of attitude & behaviour Donald Trump was found to be rather more dismissive.
CANADIAN EFFORTS FOR VACCINE:
Canada’s recent efforts has been satisfactory, but they can’t be termed as exemplary or heavy magnitude efforts. The country at start of 2021 eventually contracted with seven vaccine manufacturers. This is in the urge to seeking to spread its risk as widely as they possibly can. However, still after that several of those vaccines are still not available for the Canadian public. However, the famous vaccine manufacturer Pfizer Inc. unexpectedly took modifications to a plant in Belgium. Delaying the deliveries more commonly is what they have been found in. A huge delay in delivering the vaccines to countries & customers including Canada.
It’s Pfizer Inc. the renowned American Pharma company that has left PM Justin Trudeau in a highly awkward position. All this situation has been causing him political problems. According to the US authorities it is too early for USA to entertain the Canadian request of vaccines. Ironically, as their focus was giving vaccine shots in arms in USA. The Canadian officials & Govt. are found more or less in state of chaos. Hence, demanding to know more facts about the arrangements made for vaccine purchase. The confusion is found more in Govt. officials from Canada, the politicians of Canada & medical experts.
OPINIONS OF POLITICIANS, EXPERTS & THINK-TANK:
According to a Politician from Canada’s Left-Wing New Democratic party. The Trudeau’s Govt. is falling behind other countries in vaccination efforts. Therefore, resulting in finding a proper plan for vaccination.
Many medical experts and politicians from Trudeau’s Govt. are of the opinion that Canada has done less efforts. More importantly, in developing their own vaccines and they made more efforts & reliance on vaccines & therapeutics developed in other countries.
Another think-tank expert from one of the Canada’s organisations told that it’s the country’s poor intellectual rights protection. Furthermore, their health technology assessment that has proved to be costly. This is apart from their poor negotiation skills that has made Canada a less attractive marketplace. He laid emphasis that Canada’s efforts could have been much brighter in terms of vaccines in Canada.
TRUDEAU’S RESPONSE- ‘A POSITIVE STEP AT LAST’
Regards to the vaccines in the most recent press conferences from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He was being more relatively responsive to the vaccine issue. He had discussed problems in conversation with the leaders of Pfizer Inc. and Moderna. Ironically, Pfizer & Moderna are the first two companies to provide vaccines to Canada.
