Keep telling yourself that. All of the doses delivered to local phamacies in my area were spoken for the morning that they became available. I couldn't even get one pharmacy to answer the phone while trying to set up an appoint for my mother to get one.


I guess none of the people I consort with are flaming Nancies. To each their own. This is not the Spanish Flu (<- in caps because it was a legit disease, btw). covid just isn't worth all of the energy we have exerted on it. PERIOD.

The way it should have been done:

1/ Protect old people
2/ Protect people with co-morbities
3/ frick off and get out of everyone elses' lives

Seriously. covid is a joke. What, .01% deaths in the US? "Ooh, quick, let's tank the economy and overstep every liberty ASAP..." lol

Probably half and half where I live. Two nurses had bad reactions in the local hospital and that shook up a few folks.

The states knew it was their responsibility and had months to get ready. And got a lot of federal aid to help make it happen. Really, how complicated a task is this?


Yeah, there's -70C storage freezer laying around everywhere.

That is false. It’s been a mad dash for the local pharmacies here as there is a much higher demand than the current supply. Also, over 90% of the medical staff at the hospital where I work has received their first shot.

A hospital in Ukiah which is a pretty ritual area of Northern California had their freezer break. They vaccinated 600 people in 2 and half hours and got a decent amount to nursing homes. So it’s possible to get it done.

On the contrary, I've not heard one bad word about Operation Warp Speed from even the worst of the left. That silence speaks volumes, especially as they try to hammer the Federal government for not coordinating state efforts more.

Yeah, the Federal Government stepping over states and all other agencies and using the United States Military to forcibly vaccinate citizens with sounds like a great idea.

There was a whole 60 minutes segment on it. It aired on Nov 8. They had a plan.

Are you seriously trying to tell us that this was sprung as some last minute surprise to everyone? That there was no time to prepare for this?

You probably don't know because your state hasn't outlined that yet.


He has Kalamazoo as his location.

So his governor is Half Whitmer. Wonder what excuse he'll make when Bad Orange Man is gone?

It's pretty much on a schedule here. Anyone over 65 is expected to at least have the opportunity by next week to get it. Its happening sooner than expected.

No fair using facts.

The problem isn't logistics. It's the fact that nobody wants to go first.
