Who should get a COVID-19 vaccine first?

TORONTO -- Developing a COVID-19 vaccine is a huge undertaking. Scientists around the world are working to find a way to immunize humans against a virus that nobody knew anything about even six months ago, and get the vaccine into production in a far shorter timeframe than the research process normally allows.

Once all the health-care workers have been vaccinated, though, it's not at all clear who should be next. There's another problem, too: vaccine candidates are being rushed through the research process.

"Their vulnerability to the virus can, perhaps, also make them more vulnerable to safety and effectiveness issues which we won't know about."One group of Canadian researchers is looking to take the decision out of human hands to a certain extent. Professors at three universities in Ontario and Nova Scotia are building an artificial intelligence model that they believe will be able to analyze all the factors at play and provide guidance on how to most effectively deploy vaccines.

For a flu vaccine, it suggests likely target groups – in no particular order – could include those at highest risk of suffering a severe outcome from influenza, healthy children and adults who can help build up herd immunity, health-care workers, others working or living in high-risk settings, and those most likely to transmit the virus to those most likely to die from it.

There are also questions around how much PHAC and the federal government will be able to mandate. The flu pandemic guidance specifically notes that it "is not an actual response plan" and that provinces and territories ultimately have jurisdiction over most aspects of pandemic response, while the federal role is largely limited to procuring supplies, overseeing research and building a national consensus.

Trump he’s the leader of the country, plus he tries everything else

Definitely not smokers! Self abuse has its price.

No One until it is properly tested since 98 percent suffer zero serious consequences from Covid ... for those who want it remember any neg consequence cannot be litigated.

I don't think this is about test shots. All test shots should be on the conspiracy theorists first.

THE ELDERLY and ALL CARE HOME RESIDENTS and STAFF, the front line and first responders, then SUPPLY CHAIN associates, then the population, and then, AND ONLY THEN, politicians.

Globalist politicians who want to inject garbage into our veins should be the first ones. Followed by no one else.🖕 injectiong eugenic slurry into your veins isn't healthcare. It's insanity

Look at the statistical evidence of those groups (ie. older pop.) who are at high risk. CTV learning click bait strategies from Toronto ⭐️.

Health Care workers and anyone over 65

leaders of all countries who will make them mandatory! and their kids and families.

Probably seniors cuz that’s the only group it’s a danger to

The people who created it.

The clowns at CTV first. They should be the Guinea pigs

Front line workers with the most risk and those with compromised immune systems.

Easy ...seniors

Ima wait for a bit and see if a rapidly developed and probably under-tested vaccine has any weird side effects.

JustinTrudeau BillGates and their loved ones first. Then the pedo’s. cdnpoli

No thanks, him and his family can have ours. I ain’t taken ANY poison ☠️ from this lizard 🦎👹 Hes already poisoned MILLIONS with his crap gmo vaccines 💉

😆😳😆😳😆😳🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Im waiting for a while, remember the rush on thalydimide?

I'll pass

It depends, will the receiver be aware of the side effects from it. Safety of course is very important. Don't get me wrong, if it is guaranteed to prevent COVID-19 or lessen the severity and save lives, I, as being high risk, will be willing to get it.

The weak and most vulnerable

Is this how the lottery starts ?

It will follow H1N1 in 2009. First case in North America- April First Vaccine trial - July 4 Vaccines approved - September First round of Vaccines- October Opened to population - December My vaccine (5 hour line) - March The big scary vaccine did a pretty great job.

Gates, Trudeau, and Fauci and everyone else can step in line in front of me. Not interested.

This guy👇🏻

Doctors, nurses, “Real” essential front line workers, all first

Is there a vaccine already? 😳

Federal Gov. Fallowed by the Provincial Gov. & then the media no dilemma here I'll gladly let you be the guinea pig for us.

Me, thank you ☺️

Prime Minister

cross me out ,

The Liberal cabinet even long before the lab rats

Nobody want that garbage vaccine becaus eit not needed. Stop selling the Nazi Fascist Marxist Agenda in Canada it will not happen. All you need is the HCQ combo drug and the virus is done. And regular people with good immune system dont need anything except some vitamins and zinc

No thank you.

Me

So interesting to see just how many ppl are willing to take a vaccine with Bill Gates' hands all over it - one of the most evil ppl in the world. He is trying to eliminate the population and it looks as if people are going to line up for it 🤨

Hopefully no one on the left ..

Liberals

Politicians and Journos, let start at the bottom and work our way up.

The highest bidder

Being a concerned citizen, I will let Trudeau have mine 😂 Seriously not going to put this CCP poison in me!

First come first, get me Vaccine first 🤔 then we talk ethics😊

NO thanks, I will pass on this transgenic poison.

Trump to test if it works

Libéral MP’s, Media and anyone else promoting the idea. Time to lead by example!

Who should get a vaccine first that doesn’t exist? Well I volunteer Trudeau! Especially if it ends up coming from China.

What's the ethical dilemma exactly? People who are at the highest risk receive the vaccine first. End.

Don't worry you can have mine.

Shouldn't you first do a report on working retro virus vaccines? Let me help you: 'Historically, traditional retrovirus vaccines have often been unable to provide adequate protection, .. Despite the limited success of these vaccines, sporadic success .. suggest the feasibility'

All MSM and politicians. Then a year later we will survey you

Essential workers and vulnerable people like those living in LTC and those with compromised immune systems.

Trudeau and Tam

Bill Gates....

How about the front line workers? Not politicians.

Test it on the rich!

Gates. Followed by the media. Then we wait

Meh. Not me. I can wait.

First responders-Then people with underlying conditions. Then move on to over 60’s

AFTER Front liners that have to deal with it Every Day!?

JustinTrudeau

Probably the health care workers who are working with it? And then the essential workers who aren’t paid enough but apparently should be willing to die for 13$ an hour? Maybe them first

The poorest and most vulnerable

The elderly and vulnerable and healthcare workers/first responders. Why is this even a question? Vaccinate the most at risk first.

Prisoners

Have mine

Trudeau..

Me

Who's most at risk!

The idiots who take you guys seriously.

It’s easy. Anyone at high risk.

The media and all the vaccine promoters.

Trudope of course

Here’s a thought maybe people who are at risk of dying from its

Liberals.

Absolutely not, I will never take it! Thousands of people will be Their guini pigs! No, thank you!

Guys! JT and Trump won't get any virus! Viruses get their distance from them! The viruses die just to be 100 km from them!

Trudeau, Ford, Tory, Tam, WHO and Bill Gates and all the other crooks of the world.

Start with China the origins of most of the recent viruses 🦠 after they’re done with 1.5 billion Chinese, do India . Ask your question back in a few years!

These replies are hilarious! Thanks CTV for your laughable news articles! I needed a new source of humour, since there's none left on tv.

Not me! You may have my vile!

Politicians and their ENTIRE families in public maybe? Should be the ones to test out the Bill Gates vaccines... You know everything Gates touches is infected with viruses and crashes right?

Your mom

I don't want it soooo .... NEXT !

Someone else can have mine.

Chimps and Liberals

Fools.

What dilemma? If you want the vaccine go get it. If you don't then don't.

JustinTrudeau and the entire liberal_party then after 3 years of zero side effects, rill it out to all the doctors and nurses, then to anyone else who wants it.

LOL As if they will be knocking down the door to get it - no one I know even wants it

Just a thought, make first available vaccines for health care workers, essential workers, most vulnerable and then seniors (by age group down)?

MSM goes first.

Anthony Fauci Bill Gates Melinda Gates Hillary Clinton In that order

Kill gates need his 20 to 1 profit

If it is from china .000 %

My vote is for Trudeau.

The politicians ... poison them first

All the politicians and people making it

Health workers !!!

The politicians and plutocrats spewing the garbage!

The federal government

Liberals

The vaccine we don’t have? There may never BE a vaccine. There’s no vaccine for AIDS, Ebola, the common cold, etc. Hope is great, but let’s have some realty too.

Is there a dilemma? 1. Elderly 2. Immuno-compromised 3. health care workers 4. the rest

Bill gates

The politicians should be the first followed by the journalists/media who have been behind the fear-mongering and hysteria. If they survive with no issues, then open it up to the public.

Does it work? until proven count me out..

Health card providers

In my opinion all front line workers in the hospitals (doctors, nurses, people who do the maintenance/cleaning etc.) should get it first... but im betting the politicians will get it first... ugh

Anti vacers last

Seniors in care that's who.

Test it on the media staff

Health care workers, LTC workers, paramedics etc then asymptomatic people

I think are government all mps get first vaccine and all us citizens wait a bit to see what happens theres no way I trust are government especially if it's coming from the Chinese army fuck JT is trying to kill us all open your eyes

I’m willing to simply be given the virus

There’s only 1 choice.

TRUDEAU

Liberals

Health care workers

Front line health care workers then kids

Yes, we can debate this. But, we all know the richest and the most powerful get it first. And then, it trickles down. This is true for the class hierarchy within the country and outside too, eg; US will make sure their richest get it before Canada's richest

seniors and people who are high risk

The a-holes That will forcing everyone else to take it.

Just remember if you don’t

Gates and all his buddies. Not me

the question is, is it going to be mandatory?

Every Torontian

and the answer is.... liberal voters FakeNewsCdn

Dr. LeslynLewis, you want our vote, show us you can act on behalf of Canadians and stop this nonsense about vaccinating Canadians.

Liberals and the media.

Under no circumstance should Canadian be forced to get a vaccine. If Trudeau insists let his mother, his kids, and the members of his team try a Chinese Vaccine.

There won't be a vaccine so this is a non-starter.

People in care homes, medical staff.

CBC staff and the Liberal party.

Trudeau, his family, his cabinet, CBC, and all the liberal paid mouthpieces.

All the news media

obviously the liberal government, might as well through in the greens, and ndp since they do not want to work anyways, they can sit at home and ensure the vaccine is safe.

Liberals

Trudeau

Trudeau, his wife, and kids. I would like to see if he’s giving it to them before I give it to my kids.

Trudeau, his wife, and kids. I would like to see if he’s giving it to them before I give it to my kids. Then follow with Bill Gates, his loved ones, and liberal cabinet ministers and their loved ones.

Why's this an ethical dilemma? High risk first.

Trudeau first, then Soros, then Gates then every liberal MP.

Bill Gates, Toronto, Atlantic Canada, all Liberal cabinet ministers, and Jacinda Ardern.

Trudeau should get it first

Start in prisons if there are any inmates/criminals still locked up.

Liberal Politicians/MPs. We'll see how it goes from there ChineseVirus ChineseVaccine nothanks

And all health care workers

Senoirs

Let’s start with the WHO and CCP and Gates and Trudeau. Test trial. Let us know what you think.

The LIBERALS

Liberals and their supporters

Give it to Bill Gates and his whole family first, the followed by the media. If it’s so safe, it won’t be an issue.

You news media are nothing more than a pathetic joke! Your the arm to outreach the sinister vaccine plot by the establishment. I’ve stopped watching you channels years ago!

HCQ works... Report on the redacted LANCET study. No need for a rushed CCP vaccine 🤔

Trudeau's Liberal cabinet. They can be the CCP's guinea pigs for their vaccine.

Trudeau

Every Torontian

Trudeau

People with compromised immune systems.

The unknowing and too trusting have been the 1st to try out new untested vaccines based on doctors orders. Obviously this has resulted in an arsenal of unsafe ineffective vaccines and herds of vaccine injured. So let CEOs & Health bureaucrats be 1st followed by bought politicans

I don't want it or anything to do with it.

Trudeau, as a suppository. TrudeauBlackface TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauMustGo .

If it’s made from aborted baby cells. No one

Bill gates

Liberal party members, MP's and their family members. I want proof that it the same vaccine they are promoting for the peasants also.

Democrats.

give it to Turdeau and the whole LPC cabinet first. throw in the speNDP and the GPC too

CBCNews ETC. ETC. EVERY SINGLE JOURNALIST SHPULD GET A DOUBLE DOZE. MAYBE THEN THEY MIIGHT START REPORTING WHAT IS TRUE BUT WOULD NOT GET MY HOPES TOO HIGH

This is the first accurate headline I have seen in a while “WHO should be getting the vaccine first”. World health organization, every last one of them

Inject Trudope first

Seriously? Frontline responders.

Old people and old people who want it. The end.

Not me, i will wait and see how it works a year later.

We need a gender based analysis on any vaccine that gets created.

Everyone can have it before me

Give it to woke social justice warriors first. If we don't, they'll likely try to cancel the entire vaccine.

Liberals who support this nonsense

Anybody, as long as it’s voluntary.

I’ll take a pass for now, I don’t feel like growing a third arm.

Douchebag JustinTrudeau

Everyone in media and the liberal party of Canada. That was an easy decision. PoutinePresstitutes EnemyOfThePeople TrudeauMustGo

Most infected populations.

The entire Liberal Party of Canada should all be vaccinated first. Like sheep being lead to slaughter.

Trudeau

The prime minister and his friends.

LatteCocoBerry I think kris should

I'd say 1st no question should be nurses and doctors

Wow - you sure managed to stir up a big swarm of crazy. About half the responses are people who are convinced that vaccines are harmful. Most of Canadians are only alive because of vaccines.

CoronaHoax TotalitarianSocialist GlobalistAgendas. Do your own research, especially with information from the MSM. The numbers are fixed, screwed and totally wrong. And our so called experts know this. KnowledgeIsPower

The Loberal government

Won,t there be 2 vaccines ? 1 for us and the other for the Elites ?

I’m not touching it if what I read is true: Canada is sourcing this from China. The only country in the world that is sourcing it from China. No thanks

Bill and Melinda's children. And make Bill and Melinda watch.

I would have to say elderly people or the people who are most at risk first with compromised immune systems I have type one diabetes so it should be put in for it

Everyone at CTV news.

People with health issues should be first

Me

The vaccine wont happen only dietary chances will make a difference.

No one vaccines are a crime against Humanity

Trudeau

Frontline workers should be given any vaccine first. Then the elderly. After that it should be no different then the process for the flu vaccine we have in place now. If you want to get it, see your health provider.

All Government officials, all medical officials, all media pushing the vaccine agenda and all people who support it. Everyone else leave the F alone! mybodymychoice SAYNOTOBILLGATES

Probably anyone at a protest rally...

QuarantineDocM

Everybody in the media is too important. CTV, CBC, globalnews, etc should get it first and document it so everyone knows you aren't being neglected.

You can always tell when some Brain Rot posted this to its Facebook because all the deranged are drawn to the comments like flies to a corpse.

I think the media should be the first ones to get the vaccine.

All the reporters who are trying to push this sick agenda should get it first and become the first human trial.

The Liberal Party of Canada first. Justin Trudeau should be at the front of the line with observers to make sure he actually takes the vaccine and doesn't fake it like everything else in his life.

All for a 99.99% survival rate! HOAX SHOW

Not who, but WHO! Every single one of the scammers at the WHO!

Bill Gates, all his family, all Fauci and his family, Kushner and his lot, Soros, Kissinger, definitely all the 1 percent

Seniors children front line workers

Who should get the vaccine 1st? Tough question those at W.H.O. then those associated with the UN then All Elite with Foundations which would cover many of the Liberal Party then Gov't run Media

how about no one because covid-19 is 5 difference dna virus and everyone has antibodies to corona. How about BillGates georgesoros AlexanderSoros BarackObama JoeBiden all divide them up and get all of them realDonaldTrump fordnation JustinTrudeau CNN CP24

JustinTrudeau with all of the cabinet members who joined in on the protest. You tell us to keep a safe distance to avoid being infected, he did not, so all protesters MUST be vaccinated as well.

Not gonna happen

All China first

Anyone who wants it. That's the simple answer. With a survival rate of 99+% the rush is off. The Criminals running LTCs in Quebec and Ontario have already failed. Pushing this as an emergency outs you as the agenda peddling enemies of Canada that you are.

The media, politicians and fear mongers who keeps pushing this ... let us know how that works out for you ...

Here's my vote.

the media

CTV the hate this post generated is appalling. You need to set those new restrictions to prevent bringing out the trolls.

I actually can’t believe people here think Bill gates has something to do with Corona. Amazing

Clearly justintrudeau

People in long term care homes

Everybody else can go first.

The most vulnerable should obviously get any COVID-19 vaccine first along with essential health care workers. No debate here!

BillGates

First... JT and his cabinet!

CTV Journalists should get a double dose just to be sure they survive the second wave!

Sheep.

the Laurentian Elite

Bill Gates

Who cares? This bullshit is over

the Technocracy

Health care workers for sure, then people with predetermined conditions. I also think it should be mandatory in the schools.

CTVAtlantic first responders , essential service staff , people at risk , general public

Trudeau!

StokedHealth The ones who think they deserve it since they own underground bunkers across the U.S.......

One it is ensured 100% to be safe for dispersal, the most vulnerable should get it. The elderly, especially in LTC, ppl with health problems, basically those in most danger of serious or fatal side effects if they catch COVID. Then move outward based on health needs.

4UWell The makers, their families and relatives..

BLM obviously no one else matters right now

JustinTrudeau

Politicians and everyone who suggests it is mandatory. If they are alive after a few months, the rest of us can make an informed decision.

articles like this are just effing ridiculous

First responder.

Not this fella.

Trudeau should get it first, either in forehead or testicles.

Politicians and journalists go first.

Antifa and BLM.......they're going to need it, according to the WHO.

Those who invented it

Not me, I refuse

No fucking way if it's made in China TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauBlackface TrudeauCorruption

JustinTrudeau, CTV and CBC employees. They’re the ones telling us we need it. Unless of course it’s just another example of do as I say but not as I do

Trudeau

Trudeau, Gates and Soros!!! Of course all their spawn are well.

There is no vaccine. Never will be one.

World leaders.

Government officials and the mainstream media

Trudeau and everyone in the mainstream media.

Trudeau. But put cyanide in it

Couldn’t care less

Trudeau and liberals, then CCP partners and their supporters.

Seniors(70+) and kids first.

Are you kidding me? Seriously what is wrong with CTV get me off this planet soon and far away vaccinations radiation gmo foods and socialist mind control dystopia world ... thanks for reminding me just how much you don't respect life ctv. orwellian socialist communism

Bill & Melinda Gates, their families, the criminals working at WHO; Dr Tam, Patty Hajdu, Chrystia Freeland, Canadian Prime Minister and his family. Not a fake photo op, the real deal...let's see how things turn out in a couple of years.

I will voluntarily be last person in line. Just the nice guy I am

To all the corrupt politicians and to all the ones pushing this poison

Here's the order of who should try that covid19 vaccines first: 1) BillGates and his entire family 2) Clowns in CDC and WHO 3) JustinTrudeau and cabinet ministers 4) All other useless politicians in Ottawa 5) Propaganda media such as CBC, CTV, GlobalNews, etc.

The liberal_party who else? And make it a double double

If it’s made in China no thanks .

Doctors, Nurses, hospital support workers, Front line workers, supply chain workers and our ontario cabinet. fordnation

Gates, then Trudeau, then all of you at CTV.

That nice. Take the one's that you called ''heroes'' not a long time ago as ''laboratory rats''. Every government officials should be vaccinate first.

Anybody who works for the government should be first. That includes anybody who receives funding from the government

Liberal mp's.

Trudeau should be the guinea pig followed by the rest of the lib cult and then the so called journalists in MSM.

The developers.

The same ones that believe all the other B.S.

Does anyone seriously trust any treatment of this virus enough to squirt something rushed through a politicized system? Not this dog.

mankind has ruined the earth and killing us all for money

The most vulnerable !

Mask wearers.

All politicians and all their partnered media companies, including all their family members and friends in Canada and abroad.

Me!!!!

Journalists. I will wait 10 years to see if they develop an autoimmune disease. You first.

The Liberal caucus. Then..wait a year or two, to see what the side effects are and if it even works. Then and only then will I even think about putting crap in my body. Especially with the Chinese military being involved. 40 years and still no HIV vaccine. We aren't even close.

The elderly

Trudeau just to make sure it's safe lmfao

You can go first thanks

Trudeau & cabal

You are delusional if you think those of us with a brain are going to be lining up for this poison. I hope the dirty politicians and lying media ALL get this 'vaccine'.

Judging by the radical lefts racism falsities in Canada, I'd say law enforcement would be last

CTV employees and politicians. For safety.

The max effective rate of a coronavirus vaccine is about 60%, averaging is between 20 and 30%. The media Journalist seldom research this reality. There is no magic panacea vaccine for a Coronavirus because It mutants and adapts. Nature has the final say not humans.

Ethical dilemma do I have a choice

We don’t need a Vaccine ...

Healthcare workers, at-risk individuals.

The most vulnerable and those in the front and next line.

Torontians because Canadians are not that idiotic

All the MPs and their families..since chinas vaccine failed on monkeys and went right to human testing in Canada, NS.

Start with our older population and vulnerable, front line workers and work down. The Trinity Bellwoods kids clearly don’t feel they need it!

Seniors first, frontline employees. Then first come first served

NHL PLAYERS AND ONLY NHL PLAYERS SO I CAN WATCH HOCKEY INSTEAD OF YOUR RACE WAR

Trudeau then the rest of them!

No longer needed. Save the research money. We’ve figured this one out. A while ago. Put the $ towards cancer research or something of value.

Everyone

Truegrope

PM and Cabinet

You first

JustinTrudeau & cathmckenna & PattyHajdu can go first. We will see from there. 🤷‍♀️

Some people are so stupid

Why does the media keep pushing a vaccine for a flu that has a 99% recovery rate?

Trudeau and his family. Ship it all in, doses get chosen at random, and we get to see what happens to them.

Me

Scheer as he is not going anywhere anyways

... the test subject...

Me

Water and soap?

Me. I should get it first.

JustinTrudeau CPHO_Canada PattyHajdu & all their families should be this science experiment first victims

Babies and old people.

Every politican, media outlet and Dr pushing it!

I don't care.Just keep that poison away from myself and my loved ones.

BillGates JustinTrudeau and all the people they love first!
