Sigh. Of all the things to really try and not score political points on, one would think this would be at the top of the list.
Same nonsense is starting up in the US as well. Republicans blaming Democrats.
Its all hogwash and it has to be stopped as it addresses nothing and polarizes even worse.
Quote:
Liberal MP Bob Rae made the accusations yesterday in the Commons, where he said government delays in ordering and rolling out the vaccine has "cost and will cost lives."
"There are people who unfortunately have succumbed to the disease," Rae said.
"I think it's a reasonable thing to say that if they'd had the vaccine, it's quite possible their lives could have been saved. That's a harsh truth."

I wonder if Rae includes the maasive amount of people that simply dont want to get the vaccination in his hyperbole?
Layton even wouldn't go there...
Quote:
NDP Leader Jack Layton described the charge as the sort of "hyperbole" he wasn't prepared to "throw around" just to score political points.
"This is a very large undertaking here. We've never tried anything quite this size on such a rapid timeline," Layton said.
"I'm not sure that it would have been necessarily feasible" to have got it out sooner.

But he did have to get at least a Dipper angle in there!!

Layton said the federal government needs to tell the provinces and municipalities responsible for vaccinating people to hire more staff, rent more premises and buy more equipment

.
Anyhow....just a stupid thing to be politicizing right now.
