Just an example of how those in government and healthcare cannot critically think

There’s huge example of this in the history of the submarine force. In the pre-WWII years there was a major priority on preserving the asset (the submarine) vs. all else, so all of the people promoted to captain and above we’re the types who were wired to be exceptionally risk averse. When WWII struck, the priorities all of a sudden shifted to winning a war, and not only were the crews under skilled technically (maybe as expected), but the chain of command was littered with people who couldn’t think outside the box, holding on too much to the administrative norms at the time to adjust to the new situation. It took many losses to correct that problem.

Now we have a government wired to “not offend” and a health care system wired to “not get sued” - and thus can’t figure out that using dermatologists to give flu shots is not a huge technical hurdle.
