That's the argument people have been making since Feb 2020. Thousands of elderly folk all over the world have been dying in a similar way, but their death certificate says they died from COVID because they tested positive for the virus.

Some Trumpers would go as far to say that if you died in a car accident but had a positive COVID test, you would still be marked as dying from COVID.

Cause of death can be complicated sometimes.

My father had diabetes from being a young boy. In his early 30’s he had pancreatic cancer. No 1 cause of death on his birth certificate was diabetes millitus, 2nd was pancreatic cancer.

Deep undercover.

Hopefully he is well. His profile indicates his last sign in was middle of December.

Other wealthier countries, including New Zealand and Singapore, have requested an early allocation as well.

Most of the first doses available, though, will be delivered to low- and middle-income countries.
Quote:
Canada contributed $440m (£324m) to Covax in September, half of which secured doses for itself from about nine vaccines candidates.

The other half goes into a pooled fund to buy doses for 20% of the people in 92 low- and middle-income countries.

So, Canada is not alone ......... you can call all those countries "despicable", except they have all paid more into the fund to supply middle- and low-income countries.

God damn, the UK has definitely got its shit together when it comes to administering COVID inoculations. Almost 13m so far.

They do indeed. A relative was phoned today and given an appointment for the vaccine tomorrow. She was 65 two days ago.

Now if we could just get a nice consistent supply to Canada we might be able to catch up a bit.
