Analysis of Canadian Vaccine Inquiry Politics

My hey you goes out to Conservative MP Dean Allison,

who held a press conference a

few days ago announcing the Allison Inquiry, which would be

examining COVID-19 and vaccines in

Canada. Um, he calls himself

pro-vaccine choice, which I think is really just a

euphemism for, uh, measles positive

and, you know.

Come on, let's-

Carry on polio and so-

Make, make, make polio great again.

Yeah.

Make polio great again.

And I, I would just say two things about it.

One, the f- you know, um, diminishing vaccination rates combined

with the Maha movement in the United States and the craziness

that we're seeing,

uh, there is not something that we need to import, uh,

to Canada. I dislike it im- immensely.

It's my kid. My kid goes to school, okay?

So piss off. You're screwing with my kid's health.

The second thing I would say, just focusing on what we do and

talk about on this pod, this is crazy politics, man.

No one wants to go back to the pandemic.

You notice how many great Hollywood blockbusters there's been about the

experience

we had during the pandemic? Zilch. No one wants to think about it.

No one wants to remember it. No one wants to talk about it.

This is bad politics, and it's particularly, particularly

cancerous for Poilievre, who looks like he doesn't have the

strength as a leader to tell Allison no, that this is a poor choice for us, and

it looks like we're feeding the convoy conservatism and returning to those

things.

They don't need it. It is a problem for him,

but he does not have the

hand to say no. And so Allison claims that he's

proceeding with the endorsement and support of his leader,

and there's crickets

from the leader of the Conservative Party.
