We Need a Canadian Covid 19 Army of Special Forces to Deliver Pandemic Vaccines Now! Time to Think Strategically and Outside Of The Damned Bubble!
Now is the time for Canada to pull in everyone who can administer a needle safely and deliver the Covid 19 Vaccinations swiftly. We here in Ontario, Canada, heard that the person in charge of the deployment of the vaccine decided to give everyone Christmas holidays off and vaccinated almost nobody. This person serves with honour and distinction but, admitted it was a mistake yesterday. Seriously? A mistake? Is that what you tell your soldiers at war? Is that what you tell your bombed out countrymen? Not likely. And, Damn it Canada, we are at war! A Pandemic war!
A Canadian Covid 19 Pandemic Vaccine Strategy-
1) Keep vaccinating all elder care patients as quickly as possible. Be relentless!
2) Keep vaccinating all front line workers including Hospital Doctors, Nurses, Hospital Workers, Ambulance Personal, Fireman and Policemen. Close the front line deal.
3) Vaccinate all Family Doctors, Dentists, Military Doctors, Medical Students, Nursing Students, Laboratory Personnel, Retired Doctors, Retired Nurses, Retired Dentists and even Animal Doctors. Essentially, anyone who knows how to safely administer a needle and an EppiPen for anyone that has a bad reaction to the Covid Vaccine. We need a Special Pandemic Army and all safe ideas must be heard and vetted for efficacy. It is just a matter of ranking plans. In the negotiation business, we call this a BATNA (Best Alternative To A Negotiated Agreement). In layman's language this means, a series of ranked back up plans.
4) Deploy Family Doctors and Army Doctors to Elder Care Homes ASAP. Get everyone in these old folks homes vaccinated safely. They raised us and deserve our best! No excuses. Close the deal!
5) Rank all who need the vaccination ethically. Now race, creed, colour and age matter. Now underlying conditions matter. Do this ethically regardless of cost and get it done as soon as each batch of vaccine rolls out of the medical manufacturing sites. Think outside of the syringe!
6) Use Dentists Offices, Doctors Offices, Drive thru's, Medical parking lots. Use Ice Rinks, Stadiums and even block off Secondary Highways and turn them into one way mega drive thru's to deliver the vaccine. Get creative, but keep it safe!
7) Vaccinate 24 Hours A Day. This is a pandemic. It is war. War is 24/7!
8) Build a Canadian Central Database that can link all provincial databases so we can figure out who has been vaccinated and when follow up vaccinations are required. Give vaccinated people plastic cards with date of vaccine administered and manufacturer type of vaccine. This garbage about only offering the first shot of the vaccine must stop. This is a medical emergency and we must do it by the science not by the quick fix/bandage approach. Finally, maximize database power to identify holes in our vaccine administration. With super databases....SNAFU's are no longer accepted.
9) Prisons and Jails must be part of the solution or the pandemic will mutate and come roaring back at us. Use Army, Firefighter and Police personnel to administer the vaccine safely and humanely. Emotional illness is ramped in incarceration centers and again we must be diligent but remind ourselves that safety and humanity come first. We are all in this together. The virus plays no favorites.
10) Finally, use all military, medical and political laws and forces to ramp up emergency manufacturing of the Covid Vaccine wherever it happens in the world. This is war against a pandemic killing millions of us the world over. In war, all options are on the table. As Sir Winston Spencer Churchill once said "If you are going through hell...you might as well keep on going!" Humanity must be relentless against the pandemic and no country or people can be left behind. This is a world war of all world wars. Let us all please step up and take the vaccine and be the best version of ourselves Canada. Let's end the suffering. Let's fight as a collective mega team to reclaim our lives! We need to do this for our Elders, Children and all People at risk.
11) "Hey Covid 19 Bully..Your time is up! There is a mega pandemic warrior team in town!"

??Simon Hares I listened to the BBC today (I believe) that the UK is thinking about joining the Canadian Brain Trust and floating the idea that there will now only be a first vaccine and then worry about the rest of the proven science later. It is just so good to know we here in Canada are not the only big thinkers!!

4 年The current roll out has been a disaster, after the Premiers and the "loyal opposition" all screamed that there was no plan and no communication from the Federal Govt and that the provinces were ready to deploy, all they needed was some info, I guess that was all a smoke screen... I agree Patrick this needs to be the sole focus of the provincial governments and treated like a life or death exercise... no corners cut, all hands on deck, and whatever other relevant cliche you want to use... All essential front line workers, military, first responders, health care professionals, pharmacists, vets, paramedics, need to be involved and there should be no expense spared (the provinces are sitting on federal funds) and the sooner the vaccines are rolled out the sooner things can start to return to normal... I also think that teachers need to be near the front of the line for getting vaccinated as they will be dealing with cohorts of kids, most on whom will be too young to receive the current vaccines and will be a critical piece to the overall efficacy of the vaccination program... as a gap in the chain without proper safeguards, if the young are not shielded by either a vaccine or everyone around them vaccinated then the spread will never be contained or controlled... but hey, I'm not a scientist (or a politician)
