A vaccine collaboration between McMaster University in Hamilton and a former Chinese partner stalled years ago and they are now independently racing to develop similar COVID-19 boosters, The Fifth Estate has found.

Microbiologist Dr. Fiona Smaill, left, and her colleagues at McMaster University in Hamilton have developed an inhaled COVID-19 vaccine based on their tuberculosis vaccine research.

Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, a former federal public servant who negotiated Canada-China science and technology agreements, said the CanSino-McMaster vaccine arrangement may turn out to be "a case study of what not to do in partnerships with China." McMaster, as well, inked a licensing deal for its tuberculosis vaccine with CanSino more than a decade ago. However, the partnership hasn't been active in years.

After the deal fell apart, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters that the reason Canada partnered with CanSino was because of the "well-established partnership" between scientists in Canada and China "that has been effective in the past."McMaster scientists developed a tuberculosis vaccine in 2011 and licensed its global marketing rights to CanSino.

Some Ontario teachers are refusing work over school COVID-19 concernsMary Fraser-Hamilton spent part of last week sitting in her car instead of teaching in her classroom. Fire them: they as public employees were pampered through the covid pandemic and now not refusing to work - enough. Teaching, once a VOCATION, and now a PROFESSION… like so many other professions, they are all about DOING LESS and MAKING MORE! So, very, very sad! They first want the most money in the name of children and now they don’t want to work. WTF!? Ontario has a serious problem all because the law is too soft on these BS.
