    Either today or tomorrow Canada will catch up with USA on first vaccination. USA had early lead because it had vaccines, Canada will overtake because it has less vaccine hesitancy in population.https://twitter.com/trevortombe/status/1395408446917267458 …

    It's neck and neck right now! Later today Canada will almost surely pass the United States in vaccination coverage. pic.twitter.com/8QZd7zjXWn

        Canada is also spacing doses out significantly whereas the US didn't

        Which is a controversial strategy! But it might pay off.

        finally we can be smug again. there’s an essay in there to the early vax rollout freak out being motivated by losing that crucial “at least we’re better than America” edge

        Same thing is going to end up happening in the European Union.

        But US has fully vaccinated a lot of people whereas Canadians are waiting for second doses. A bit soon to celebrate.

        Canada will catch up with 2nd dose in about a month (we're giving 2X second dose per day).

        Chad Crichton Retweeted Trevor Tombe

        To be fair, the prairie provinces are all around the Canadian average (Saskatchewan is actually slightly AHEAD of the average) and they're doing a lot better than some U.S. states (several of which haven't hit 40% of the population having one dose yet).https://twitter.com/trevortombe/status/1395159727672233985?s=20 …

        That is a very polite way to say that many people in the U.S. believe in a bizarre anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.
