was announced by premier Doug Ford during his daily news conference at Queen’s Park on Saturday afternoon.
“Until we have that vaccine, letting our guard down means potentially exposing millions of our people to the virus so any decision to reopen must be based on the best medical advice and these decisions will not be taken lightly,” Ford said.Ford went on to tout the province’s track record related to medical research, stating that Ontario “has some of the best research facilities and hospitals in the world.
“This money will be dedicated towards receiving proposals,” he said. “We want to secure proposals that have a high chance of success and can do so in a very quick fashion.”
“Researchers could have been working on the global challenge of a COVID-19 vaccine earlier, if Doug Ford hadn’t cut their funding and wound down their work a year ago.”
The scientific community does not work within borders.
And another funding. What's it going to be wasted on this time?
After he cut a lot more
wait it out! This hopefully will teach people to wear masks when SICK. Dont wear mask because its cute.
Why don't the feds and the provinces all work together on a vaccine so people aren't re-inventing the wheel and spending $$ twice. Why does it matter where it is developed. As long as it's developed and safe, I don't give a rat's behind where it comes from.
PremierScottMoe UofS Saskatoon Vido was leading the world with a vaccine at one time, what happened? I was expecting to hear results already?
the real challenge will be to come up with a vaccine that doesn’t use cells from babies murdered by abortion
WTG Premier Ford. Great to have you at the helm during these turbulent times!
Ford and his Government are doing everything that can to fight covid-19 and find a remedy No complaints about Ford here The Taxpayers will get an unwelcome surprise when the Federal and Provincial governments release the price tag of borrowed money during the covid-19 pandemic.
Cute! Only when it’s mandatory in BC tho ... Frontliners ... these are so perfect! Amazing fun job! Nice ones tho! Truly 🇨🇦🙏 well done 👍🏼
Wow 20Million, didn't he cut like 25-30M from that same program... So its still short... Good job Ford.
He should bet the same amount Kenney put the Keystone pipeline !
Reminder: There were $25 million in cuts to the Health System Research Fund a year ago. That's still $5 million less. Sure, it's a good move. But it shouldn't have been cut in the first place.
