1. Breaking news: I'm applying for a passport

[Fiendish Thingy]

3. C'mon up!(when the borders reopen) But a US passport won't get you a free vaccine

You’ll need a Canadian passport for that.

2. this is a no-brainer. so of course republicans can't fathom anything like it.

infectious disease is probably the best case for this kind of "socialism".

even from a completely selfish and egoistic perspective, i personally benefit from everyone else getting vaccinated.

i'm basically trapped in my house now until the virus is under control, and getting *other people* vaccinated is a huge part of achieving that, thereby reopening the whole world for me.

it's not like feeding the hungry, which requires some minimal sense of humanity to approve of. vaccinating people during a pandemic should get the support even from completely selfish people. but of course, republicans will find a way to object to this sort of thing here in america....

4. The US qualifies as an impoverished country...

or at least it will be when the Repubs get their way.

[bdamomma]

14. yes

we are impoverished alright, we got everyone standing in lines for food, jobs, and everything else.



Love that Justin Trudeau.

5. And they have much fewer cases. Their citizens take this pandemic seriously

I've seen the maps.

8. Well first off, we are not held hostage by big Pharma and the likes . . . .

.
.

Our Universal Health Care includes subsidized prescription meds - $2 a script, no matter the total cost for those below the poverty line - covers pretty much most pensioners, those on public assistance like Mother's Allowance or Welfare, even the homeless/jobless.

Yup - our stats indicate we have about 1/3 the deaths the USA has (per capita), - but we were still slow outta the gate, and fairly high globally.

We still have too many ignoring the mask, distancing and other recommendations in my wee town - I fear we are gonna get hit bad when it gets here, and it will . . . I suspect it's lurking already

15. Do Canadians have no pity for the pharma-billionaires? Oh, the humanity!

[MichMan]

17. What Canadian pharmaceutical corporation developed this vaccine?

[Biophilic]

6. Damn, those evil socialist countries.

We certainly showed them.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Ending the pandemic will bring in money to the treasury that more than pays for the vaccine.

This is a no brainer.

[MichMan]

9. Isn't it free here too?

[Kingofalldems]

10. No idea actually.

Free in Canada for sure and they have plenty of doses. Trump made sure we wouldn't have enough.

[ChazII]

11. Arizona's governor

wanted to make sure we got the shots for free. I maybe misunderstood him.

[LeftInTX]

18. Trump said it will be

[former9thward]

12. So? It is free in the U.S. also.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Did you miss the part where they have planty on hand?

Do we?

[DrToast]

16. No, they've ordered more per capita

They definitely don't have enough on hand right now.

19. Now you all see why I want MI to secede and join Canada.
