This was not a personal decision from the prime minister, this is from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. You can disagree of course, but let's not lie and pretend that this is just Trudeau that woke up one morning and decided to do that, lots of people are behind that decision and they also had the benefit of insight looking at what the UK had been doing.

Yeah. I count 13 doctors and professors out of a team of 14 people. "someone with no scientific background" is not an accurate description of the decision-makers.

Not to mention that the Chief Medical Officer of British Columbia, Dr. Bonnie Henry, came to the same conclusion even before the national level bodies had decided. Dr. Henry implemented the strategy by stopping second vaccinations so more people could get first vaccinations.
In Bonnie we trust.
