Thanks to a ruling by Canada Border Services Agency under the puzzling worry about 'security' a plan to provide our Windsor neighbors with unused US vaccines has fallen apart. [Getting vaccinated isn't security?] Imagine there was no border and it was Rochester or Southfield being denied vaccines! Seems ridiculous to me.
Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens spent weeks pursuing a mission - netting surplus COVID-19 vaccines in Michigan and getting them into the arms of fellow Canadians before the doses expire.

The 49-year-old lawyer tried to come up with every way imaginable to make the impossible possible - even inoculating Canadians with U.S. shots at a border clinic inside the Detroit- Windsor Tunnel under the Detroit River.

“We're not trying to send a man to the moon here. We're using the infrastructure to accomplish a shared goal,” he said. “For me, it's just about doing the right thing. ... This is a sensible, reasonable alternative to vaccines heading to the landfill.”
For Dilkens, the effort has been a “long, frustrating road,” but it's now over after the Canada Border Services Agency said no to the plan because of security and other reasons.

“It's dead,” he said recently of the effort that he said could have brought 5,000 surplus COVID-19 vaccines within a twoday turnaround to Canadians from sources in Michigan. “Our government has killed it. Our government will not let this happen.”
