“I think we’re really working well together,” Dix continued. “The last thing people need in this country is to hear bickering between the federal and provincial governments on something of this magnitude. You won’t hear it from us.”
The previous week, Horgan had a virtual meeting on vaccine distribution with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the other Canadian premiers. As for last week’s supportive comments from the B.C. end, Horgan and Dix may not have realized how soon they would be put to the test as team players. The U.S. will not be affected because Pfizer’s American plant is not retooling. And the European Community successfully intervened to restore its supply.
For B.C., the news had to come as a special disappointment. Just two days earlier, Dix had singled out Pfizer for “a really good job in delivering the vaccine so far.” The shortfall for B.C. translates into 60,000 fewer doses, about half of the expected deliveries over the last week of January and the first three weeks of February.
Health Officer is only one to blame for making call to give more people first dose and not keep second in reserve to make sure recipients are properly vaccinated. That is why BC is not calling Ottawa out.
The UK is vaccinating 300,000 per DAY.
Yeah..why not blame Trudeau? Idiotic statement if you ask me!!
