Yep. My family in Hungary, London, Frankfurt and San Diego have all been vaccinated while I am still waiting.
Even my friends in Manchester are surprised people my age have not been vaccinated when she has been and she is younger than I am. I am very much considering leaving Canada permanently so I can be vaccinated sooner.
If I go to Hungary I can be fully vaccinated before the end of July whereas here I will likely get my first dose in June and the second in October.

Umm, aren't we being a tad dramatic, here? If you really wanted, you could book a flight to the US and get vaccinated, then come back.

Not really, I was planning to leave anyway and I prefer to get vaccinated overseas rather than hold up my plans by another year.

I don't think we will be getting much AZ vaccines from the Serum Institute for a LONG while (and honestly, rightly so):

The line for the new cases is almost vertical - like 2, 300K new cases a day.

If only there were millions of doses of AstraZeneca sitting unused somewhere...I don't think we will be getting much AZ vaccines from the Serum Institute for a LONG while (and honestly, rightly so):

True, but it will run out now that people are rushing to get them (and I think the message was sent out in March that we won't be getting any for some time - Doug didn't read it). In any case, even more Pfizer than originally planned will be coming in May onward.

Why is the surprise of people in Manchester of all places a worthy measure of our situation?

Well then, you're not leaving because of the vaccine.

Actually, I wanted to be vaccinated here but the rollout is so slow I decided not to wait. My reason for leaving is two fold. One for a change and two because I want to get vaccinated before October.

I was actually referring to this:
Not to mention, these could also be going to other more deserving countries in South America.

Well that - as much as it is wrong, it is theirs to do however they wish regardless of what we or anybody else want.
