People are getting retarded about it here. On one hand, there are tin-foil hat loonies saying it's a government conspiracy to either kill or brainwash people. On the other hand, perfectly healthy people are lining up en masse and making it difficult for the prioritized people to get their shots. There were 4 hour waits during the peak.
My 19 year old sister-in-law has cancer and is going through chemo, her doctor told her she should get it, and because she has a weakened immune system, she's considered high-priority. She went to the clinic, faced hour-long lineups (in a crowded public place, the last place a chemo patient wants to be), and got turned away due to shortages.
She ended up jumping the line after they got on local news, but it's still a really fucked up situation.
Edit: Not to mention our government inexplicitly playing the race card, and saying Aboriginal people are considered priority. What the fuck is that?
