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

[Guest]

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.

It is just mind boggling
And still fixated on trump ??

better not be a third wave ?

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.

"Just more of the usual politics"

I like that one Chuck!

Mind if I use that?

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.

Austrian Economics: Not all vaccines are manufactured exactly the same way. So which vaccine should the Manitoba plant tooled up to produce and when should they have started this process? And does not the company that discovered the vaccine have the right to determine who can manufacture their vaccine, under what standards, and at what price? Or do you believe in the Chinese model of free enterprise whereby if the Manitoba plant could have reverse engineered the vaccine they should have been able to manufacture it with nothing paid to the company which discovered it and they should not need to have the product tested for quality or effectiveness (government roles)

If India and some 3rd world countries can get vaccines and Canada cant, its pretty clear we are being punished for our socialized health care system which is responsible for driving our research from this country and letting generics flourish.

And the only country talking about dangling a national pharmacare program based on that same model.

Chalk another win for socialism.

"So which vaccine should the Manitoba plant tooled up to produce and when should they have started this process?" It's up to them. Just like the decision as to what crops to grow is up to the farmer. What point are you trying to make here?

"And does not the company that discovered the vaccine have the right to determine who can manufacture their vaccine, under what standards, and at what price?" Of course they do. Just as countless manufacturers produce patented products under license for a fee. Again, what's your point? A government program to procure vaccines has to do the same thing, otherwise they are stealing.
