Wow CBC with comments section open, at least for now.

Tuskegee?
This company has never brought anything to market before.
Canada has done no testing, they simply REVIEW what the company producing the product has to say about their own product.
Approval based on MARKETING.
Asking questions is perfectly appropriate here.

This case is really becoming something else, how does one survive all the economic issues? We really need a second source of income

[markshiman]

Health Canada just waits to see what the FDA says, and copies.

[shannoncaldera]

This company has never had any pharmaceuticals approved for market use before now.. let's trust them.

50% of me its say take it and the other 50% say no way I'm really confused God save us from this disease

[stevenratcliffe]

I'd like to see these studies. Where do we are the public see them?

[RobertKangchristianunix]

At first Morona insisted it must be stored at -20 and then it changed its mind and now assures it can be stored in room temperature. That is funny, an item which is used to save people's lives, can change requirements for storage overnight

Why to experiment on rats if we got ppl who are willing to pay for it themselves

[jacobkavinsky]

youtube is blocking my comments thank you

[julianciahaconsulting]

And who funds this doctor's studies I would like to know? More than likely some pharma drug company or another. Did you ask him that question CBC? Nope. some journalism.

[karlroth]

We are not taking it., So there.

[zephyrsimon]

Pfffft, what do these doctors know? YouTube and Facebook comments are all that I need.

[shannoncaldera]

Moderna nor BioNTech have had any pharmaceuticals approved for market use before this warp speed program. Go check their websites to confirm info.
