I agree that a face shield is not a great option. The freedumb crowd refuses to wear masks and site some undisclosed medical condition as the reasoning if challenged. If your only choices are a $1 mask or a $20 face shield, I expect most of the free dumbers will wear a mask.
I don't get it. Is that JT's long game? He plans on being the StubHub of vaccines? Donate 1% to countries in need to appear altruistic and sell the other 99% at a disgusting markup to those that can afford to pay?
Shouldn't JT be like the captain of the ship? He gets his after everybody else is safe? If he bungles the rollout, he goes down with the ship.

@PrivatePilot Please explain the plan to me, I'm confused about it, unless you meant a different word.

Sounds to me like our Government handled this well. There are lots of things to criticize the Trudeau gorvernment for; but I don't think this qualifies as a failure.Quick Google search is your friend.
Top general to lead vaccine rollout, aims to immunize majority by September: PM
Canada has tapped former NATO commander Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin to lead the national vaccine distribution effort, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his target of immunizing more than half of all Canadians by September, 2021.
The reason we will have so many doses (to the envy of many other countries) is because our government threw all the jello at the wall with the expectation that only some of it would stick. There was plenty of question about how many of the candidate vaccines would be effective and deemed safe. It was unexpected that as many passed that scrutiny (effective and apparently safe based on current data that's out there) as have happened. So, in short, almost all the jello stuck. The money was spent no matter what (in order to have things move as fast as they have, and to ensure supply, many/most governments (including ours) committed the money without any guarantee of product, so in short, we're going to get a crap ton of product in the end. A product that's going to be in massive demand.
If the government had taken a different approach, IE not spreading the risk amongst many candidate companies, or just being cheap and not throwing the jello at the wall, there would be people screaming at the government for NOT doing all those things and "leaving Canadians unprotected" blah blah blah.
This is a picture perfect example of "Damned if they do, damned if they don't".
We're already hearing the weasel-words when talking about delivery of vaccines... "we're expecting that in the second quarter, depending on the approvals of the vaccines".Tam says six million doses to arrive between January and March. I'm not sure if they are counting doses as shots or people. Given the desire for the narrative to show how awesome the gov't is, I am betting shots and half that number of people. Either way that's basically pissing in the wind. A good start but not exactly a wide spread rollout (not even enough to cover their high-priority list).
Vaccine priority list must be refined to match available doses: Tam
Canada's chief public health officer says the priority list of people who will get vaccinated first against COVID-19 has to be refined because the initial six million doses won't be enough to cover them all.
I think most of know there are real obstacles and things can change. But they know that too, and part of leadership is making sure your vision is sound and well understood, take ownership for your mistakes, set and manage realistic expectations, and you don't treat the voters like a dumbass proletariat. I think Ford is doing this better than Trudeau.
Great way to spread a virus to less affected regions. Indoor skating arenas are cold damp germ cesspools.
