My oldest kid been going to in-class school since September 2020 [1]. Maskless since October 2021. She missed, in a year and a half, a total of two or three weeks of school. This is a blessing that my kid has received.
I’ll help your argument out and make it stronger (because “reserved” vaccines have indeed been shipped overseas):
Once a vial is opened the vaccines contained therein can’t be shipped overseas and will expire in a few hours. I could therefore wait outside a Walgreens before closing and get the shot.
Except Im not a utilitarian. I cannot take what is rightfully another’s just because they cant enjoy it. I believe that all young people should have refused the shot, therefore liberating millions of doses. Mine is but the first (literal) drop in what should be an ocean; and Im actively encouraging my friends to do the moral thing and refuse to get boosted.
Yes it is. My parents were vaccinated with vaccines not used by first world countries.
EDIT:
Also, consider that perhaps the West should be consuming (far) less resources including food? Eat what’s on your plate, even if you’re full, and skip the next meal. Your discomfort and hunger will help remind you next time to have an appropriate serving.
Look, I get it. They’re icky and Canada has a long history of denying or trying to deny entry to “icky” ppl. Mediterraneans, Asians, Eminem (though I forgot about that one eh?).
Canada has just a long list of things its apologized for. Like barring entry to Mediterraneans, Asians and Eminem.
The last man alive who sat with PET and the other premiers to discuss how Trudeau’s unacceptable constitution (to the premiers who had to be on board) was going to pass muster.

This based on an investigation done by the Biden admin.
One of the casualties of our 24 hr media cycle is that in the orgy of current news we don't pay attention to the follow up.
