[Byker]

"OTTAWA -- Canada’s first vaccinations against COVID-19 could begin
happening as early as next week, pending Health Canada approval.
Canada will be receiving an initial batch of up to 249,000 doses of Pfizer’s
COVID-19 vaccine before the end of December, with the first shipment
expected next week."

Wait until the first few thousands go first, as expedient guinea pigs:

"In the 1950s, one of the first polio vaccines to hit the market was
administered to over 200,000 children in the mid-United States.

"The defective vaccine contained an active virus, leaving 200 kids paralyzed
and 10 dead.

"The infamous Cutter Incident is a moment in the history of science that
many might like to forget. But according to Meredith Wadman, author of The
Vaccine Race, it's these very stories that highlight how important it is to
remember the devastating diseases that have haunted humanity — and how far
we've come toward getting rid of them.

"'[The Vaccine Race] really recovers stories we need to recover,'" Wadman
told host Stephen Quinn on CBC's The Early Edition.

A controversial history

"Wadman's book follows the long and controversial history of vaccinations in
North America. She covers the race between scientists to produce vaccines
for diseases such as rubella, as well as the troubling work that many
researchers undertook following the Second World War.

"'It was standard U.S. medical practice that vulnerable populations —
generally institutionalized groups, be they dying cancer patients, premature
babies, ... [or] orphans — were used as essentially human guinea pigs,' she
said. 'This was done with the sign-off and the approval of the medical
research establishment.'"

"The infamous Cutter Incident left 200 children paralyzed and 10 dead after
the adminstration of a defective polio vaccine.

"Wadman says the tendency to give vulnerable people unreliable vaccines
emerged from wartime rhetoric.

"'It grew out of a World War 2 mentality — an-ends-justify-the-means
mentality — when the aim was to get medicines and vaccines to soldiers at
the front because civilization was at stake,' she said. 'But when the war
ended, the mentality did not.'

"Wadman says loose regulations on vaccination testing persisted until the
1970s."

some snipping...
Trump has his Operation Warp Speed (I wonder if the Estate of Gene
Roddenberry will sue?) His thinks his Executive Order will demand
Americans get the vaccine first. 338M+ guinea pigs below the 49th seems
like a plan ;)
