Can I blame people like them for the deaths of people? Similar how so many here want to blame the people not getting the shot for the deaths of others.

Those people were following the instructions given to them by the co-ordinators of the program. Alberta was the only province to RECOMMEND rather than ENFORCE a "high risk = top priority" policy and even then that recommendation was lacklustre. However a newspaper here in Ontario said that clinics "would not be turning people away from the 'high risk only' clinics, but wished that only high risk people would come". Apparently people were showing up at the high risk only clinics and demanding a vaccination. Some would lie about being in a high risk group; others just say that they didn't care and were going to get their vaccine now. These clinics don't have a huge security staff to start throwing every third person out so they agreed that they won't turn people away rather than have confrontations. *THOSE* people who are *NOT* following the policies set and jumping the queue ahead of people who could reasonably die due to pre-existing health conditions, should be given their share of the blame.
