How Much Public Flu Vaccine, Exactly, Are Private Clinics Making Available To The Public?

Well......

According to Thomas Walkom in today's TO Star, in the case of Medcan, it is a whopping 20%:

"...the politically savvy owners of Medcan (CEO Shaun Francis was chief fundraiser for Conservative supremo Tim Hudak's successful leadership campaign this year) are now allocating 20 per cent of their vaccine on a first-come-first-served basis, to members of the general public on the so-called priority list...."


So.

Let's work through the actual numbers here for a moment, shall we....

Medcan's initial private hoard has been reported as being 3000 doses.

And they are now, suddenly, given all the intense public scrutiny, apparently willing to give 600 of those doses, doses that were generated, produced and paid for by the public, back to the public.

As for the other 2,400 doses that the public also paid to generate and distribute?

Well, apparently they will be going to the cake-eaters.

Cake-eaters like this.

Sheesh.

And with all snark off, it is important to realize/make the point emphatically that 600 doses is barely enough to take care of HALF of the high risk patients at ONE single downtown Toronto public clinic that has NO vaccine.
