Manitoba makes deal to buy Canadian-made COVID-19 vaccine

[VK58]

By rich and powerful, do you mean nations which instituted industrial economic systems which are capable of mass production of vaccines and other scientific advancements? This is why they are rich and powerful. It's a feature of a rational economic system, not a bug. So of course these nations will be able to acquire vaccines much faster than nations mired in economic systems which facilitate central planning, corruption and decay.

Unfortunately the present Canadian government seems hell bent on instituting a corrupt, decaying economic model. Hence our pathetic vaccine rollout.

The solution to the all the chaos will be through the countries with the most available resources, history has always been that way. The sooner the supposed rich countries get back to normal the better it will be for the rest of them. Not sure we would ever get out of our basements if it was the reverse

In depth article about this company.

Says production by summer? Am I reading that right?

Providence will be manufacturing their vaccines at Emergent BioSolutions in Winnipeg. They have been contracted by Premier Brian Pallister’s government to produce doses for every Manitoban. When operations are running smoothly this summer, Sorenson says they will be able to create up to half a million vaccines every day.

So now the Covid deniers and anti lockdown proponents are pissed that there is not enough vaccines to go around? First it was a hoax, now its' all Trudeau's fault that Moderna and Pfizer stopped shipping as much vaccine as promised?

Just more of the usual politics.

Brian Pallister is just pissed because he couldn't spend his winter in Costa Rica! He should have been building Manitoba vaccine production capacity in the last few years instead of holidaying in Costa Rica.

Can’t believe the radical left cant admit that our leader has failed and not only in one department. It’s actually funny to watch them twist and manipulate the facts. Face it boys and girls he is no good and never will be for the Canadian citizens and the economy. He has no qualifications to even apply for the job.

Isn't this the system we have now? Afterall, 3/4ths of the covid vaccinations that have been administered to date have gone to just 10 countries. 130 countries have not yet administered a single vaccine (as of Feb 4th)

Those 10 countries: US, UK, some EU nations, Israel, China, and Russia are among the richest nations, they had pre ordered more vaccines than they need, and they have existing vaccine manufacturing facilities.

The rich and powerful are getting the vaccines first - on a nation basis

Except for canada

[Austrian Economics]

When I was reading these stories, I started to ask an obvious question: if facilities already exist in Manitoba for the production of vaccines, why haven't they already started producing them?

The answer: under the auspices of the Canada Health Act, it's undoubtedly illegal for anyone to offer a vaccine for sale privately. Thus, no vaccine producer is going to start up production of a vaccine without first having a contract with someone to pay for it.

Since sales to private citizens and/or for-profit vendors is out of the question, that leaves only one alternative: your company sits and waits until some government agency takes notice of you, enters into a lengthy period of negotiation and finally signs a contract. It doesn't matter if your product can meet an urgent consumer demand; the main criteria is meeting whatever budget a government authority has deemed adequate.
