Ontario premier pleads with incoming Biden administration for COVID-19 vaccine help

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has issued a plea to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden for help in obtaining more Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines amid a shortage of doses in Canada.

Ford made the comments during a press conference on Tuesday after the federal government announced that Canada will be receiving zero Pfizer doses next week.

“My American friends, help us out. We need help once again, as we did with the (personal protective equipment). You have a new president, no more excuses,” Ford said.

He’s trying to distract from the fact that he’s failed in vaccine distribution. Only half of the vaccines sent to Ontario have been administered.

Health care is a provincial responsibility. The Canadian federal government has secured more doses of vaccines per capita than any other country in the world. It’s Ford and his Ontario government who’ve screwed this up.

And Globalnews are his lapdog press.

I never voted for the coke dealer either.

And yes he DID screw up the vaccine delivery and is looking for someone else to cover his ass. That way he can point fingers at someone else.

There will be cooperation again with Canada.

The correct protocol is to talk with the PM first.

We can help our friends in Canada, but we need to be healthy first to help.
