No paperwork, no appointments, no age requirements, how convenient!
For the price of a dirty hoodie and an old backpack, maybe some super low priority people like myself could receive life-saving medication.

Bill Binns, your attitude is not only offensive but scientifically stupid. We need to reduce contagion, so offering the vaccine to people who don’t have anywhere to quarantine to is a smart move. This is not primarily a favour and benefit to them, but makes sense for the whole population.

Bill Binns, even if you feel the need to comment and want to make this about you, this is actually absolutely nothing to do with you.

If it’s all about “the science” and protecting the rest of us shouldn’t we also be prioritizing the nice folks who refuse to social distance and ignore the curfew like certain groups in Mile End? Where’s the science in that story?
Science was abandoned on the subject of the pandemic long ago. All of the usual victim groups are simply competing for position on the hierarchy just as they always do. We have finally and predictably reached the point where being bestowed with vaunted “Most Vulnerable” title may actually mean life over death.
@Emily- How does it have nothing to do with me? I am patiently waiting for a scarce medication which may prevent my death. As I stand here in line, whole segments of the population are waved to the front. I take 1 step forward and 3 back every day.

For you, Bill Binns

Bill, you say you’re waiting patiently, but you don’t sound patient.
As for me, I am in a priority group and have already received my first dose, though that’s not really much to do with the initial story in this blog post.

@walkerp – Oh I’m aware believe me. That pretty much sums up my feelings on the city’s sainted homeless and the city’s opinion on the relative value of my life as well.

Disadvantaged home owner / home office worker fears for his life sitting at home, while the privileged homeless get all the great opportunities. Unfair!

If there was any population that should be getting the J&J shot, this is it. One shot, no return shot. Canada is supposed to receive some in the net few days.

Bill, you know volunteers of community organizations working directly with vulnerable populations can get the vaccine, right? You could volunteer to help at Resilience! Everybody wins: you get your shot, Resilience gets some help, and we don’t have to hear your whining anymore.

@Bill if you want to jump the line you don’t have to pretend to be homeless, you can simply pretend to have a chronic illness. Don’t think “blog trolling” counts, but you never know.

Or you could claim to have an intellectual disability… No proof required.

I would really like to put on the Hugo Boss suit I got married in and show up in the Homeless VIP vaccination line with no ID and challenge them to prove I’m not homeless. Sadly, my wife insists that I stay out of the news.
