Canada's 'gamble' on delaying, mixing and matching Covid-19 vaccines paid off

Exactly. Israel was willing to play the game. Other countries like Canada decided to wait for more info. That proved to be a bad move.

And Canada isn’t the only one: Australia, New Zealand, Singapore. Vietnam really screwed itself over trying to get domestic production going (homegrown and in-licensed). Once Delta got hold they saw a 400x increases in cases. Once it dawned on them vaccines were the only out, then acquired whatever they could by begging and borrowing. Now they are looking at a loss of foreign investment and a possible recession.

Except that, now, Canada (78%) has a higher vaccination rate than most western nations, including the US (65%). And there is zero talk about loss of foreign investment.
