Letters Express Concerns About COVID-19 Vaccine Prioritization and Travel Restrictions

community · January 2021 · Canada and Denman Island

Letters to the editor express concerns about Canada's COVID-19 vaccine prioritization strategy, approval delays of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, and perceived inconsistencies in travel restrictions allowing wealthy individuals to ski while others face strict limits.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.

• “My present gripes with Canada’s response are: If we know that over 90% of all deaths due to Corvid19 are in the 65 plus age group... why are they not focused on vaccinating this group... Why is Canada not approving the Oxford Astozenica vaccine... Why is Canada totally reliant on other countries... Another letter questions why wealthy jet-setters are allowed to ski while others face travel restrictions.” — The Islands Grapevine – January 28th, 2021 (January 28th, 2021)
