    Double vaxxed in Canada: 80.8% Double vaxxed in United States: 64.9% The Economist really messed up on this one.https://twitter.com/MercedesGlobal/status/1354846552188186631 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Mercedes StephensonVerified account @MercedesGlobal
    The Economist (the magazine) Intelligence Unit has released a report that estimates Canada will not see "widespread" vaccination until mid 2022. That is well behind Europe and the US. Puts us on the same timeline as Brazil. Fed govt maintains vaccination will be by Sept 2021.

        In January 2021, were you predicting widespread vaccine resistance in USA ? Everybody was producing charts showing how fast USA was producing and giving vaccines.

        Not to mention that they were indeed correct about slow start of Canadian vaccination relative to US.

        In B.C., 85.6% of all people over age five have been double vaxxed. 56.2% of adults have had a third dose. A stunning achievement for public health in the face of misinformation and disinformation.

        Which is why a very large significant percentage of the belligerent unvaccinated isn't in the hospital, the ICU, or dead.

        The economist seems to have developed a grudge against Canada. Have you seen their latest on the Ottawa occupation?

        It’s what they do. Quietly support the right wing while pretending to be centrist.
