Well ain’t that something. The politician “experts” saying more people vaccinated would not have helped.
Complete and utter BS.
Better build many many more hospitals UCP… or is the plan to just keep letting ABs die in the ED WRs?

Mark Carney Knows the Old World Is Dying. But His New World Isn’t Good Enough.
The Canadian prime minister offered a radical analysis of the collapse of the liberal world order. His response to that collapse is unacceptably conservative.
