As you know I was being facetious, but my family members in Canada see a similar lack of consistency surrounding the 2nd dose. Some with very serious health issues that in my view should be prioritized over a 12-year old that is not at significant risk of serious infection.
I happened to have a doctor's appointment the day the second dose eligibility was announced and he said my father wouldn't survive covid and didn't believe me when I told him lung conditions weren't included. It's become clearer all the time here that they couldn't have expected this in spite of having watched other provinces deal with this, that there just wasn't a plan.
It's insulting to see Pallister huffing and puffing with flaring nostrils as though we've all let him down. We had plenty of warning and in fact did very well in the first wave. After that he just kept blowing it.
Of course these are all polled by party, but that doesn't represent all Canadians because not all Canadians identify with nor are affiliated with any particular political parties in Canada. Like me for example.
Not a surprise at all. The Green party is filled with a bunch of anti-science nutjobs who think nuclear power is bad for example, when it's the cleanest power source that has minimal effect on the environment.

When I inserted the above link, Manitoba's total cases were 49,046. When I scrolled down the page and found the graph showing cases by age and sex, the order of cases from highest to lowest was:
Male 20-29 - approx 5.1 K
Female 20-29 - approx 4.6 K
Male & Female 30-39 - approx 3.9 K each
Male & Female 40-49 - approx 3.2 K each
Male & Female 50-59 - approx 2.9 K each
Male 0-9 - approx 2.5 K
Female 0-9 - approx 2.4 K
Male & Female 60-69 - approx 1.9 K each
Male & Female 70-79 - approx 1.0 K each
Female 80-89 - 819
Male 80-89 - 598
Female 90-99 - 589
Male 90-99 - 224
Female 99+ - 55
Male 99+ - 14
The majority of cases, whether mild or severe, are in the groups I think of as working age (20-69). I don't see how doubling up on the most vulnerable would be an advantage. You would just have more of the groups that generally have the most interactions with other people going around with fewer to none of them being vaccinated.
The Northern Health Authority in BC is generally noted to have about 300,000 residents. As of the 4:30 PM May 25/21 update, there have been a total of 134,106 vaccine doses administered. Would it really be better if that meant that 67,053 people had received both doses rather then the current figures which are 6,516 have received both doses and 121,074 have received the 1st dose?

The first cases that occurred in Canada were with the most vulnerable people. It's an advantage to the most vulnerable people to be the first to double up BECAUSE they are still the most vulnerable people regardless of their numbers or their ages.
Are you suggesting that the most vulnerable people are less important than the people who were the least vulnerable?
The order and priority in which the 1st and 2nd doses are being given IS correct.
