And before you get too excited, yes the rest of the world absolutely needs to get the vaccines they deserve, both from a personal protection standpoint but also to the point I made above.
-We are almost 72% of eligible double vaxed, higher in cities which are more densely populated (calgary is over 80)
-children don’t seem to have any signs of higher risks from any variant, and likely will get access to vaccines in q4/q1 2022
-Canada’s population is so small that the chances of us causing a major mutation are highly unlikely
-variants of concern have not come from anywhere resembling Canada from a population density or socioeconomic perspective
Again, Canada doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of covid, it is highly unlikely we will be a vector of new variants. If you are vaccinated, there really isn’t much reason to concern yourself with other people’s vaccination status.
