Florida and the vaccination processhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2020/12/29/covid-vaccine-floridas-roll-out-seniors-gets-off-rocky-start/4067324001/
Once again, our governor living up to his name, DeathSantis.And the morons in our state will probably reelect him.
Poor implementation (at least initially) of a policy is his fault/responsibility. Doesn’t have anything to do with whether the policy itself is a good one.
Part of controlling the initial implementation of the vaccine is to build the infrastructure to administer large amounts of vaccine and control demand as for quite some time it will be in excess of supply. It’s a nice headline though.
By the way FL isn’t alone. All 50 states are doing their own thing and the feds are washing their hands of this as soon as the vaccine is ‘distributed’ according to both Pres and VP. I hope the money in the CARES II act is enough to get this going but there clearly is going to be a looming problem in Jan/Feb when everyone wants their vaccine.
We're doing 1 million vaccines/week.For 80% herd immunity that will take 10 years.To get herd immunity by 6 months (the original federal timeline), we'd need 3.5 million vaccines per day.(Numbers taken from CNN interview)
Hopefully, the Biden administration can quickly get the states what they need. If it doesn't, we all may still be wearing masks on the Fourth of July....
I originally heard 500 vaccine doses had to be discarded after a human error resulting in them not being refrigerated properly at Aurora Medical Center-Grafton and thought that's not so great but yeah sh*t happens. But I just read today that someone did this on purpose - what the heck? They were fired of course and imagine they might face some charges:https://www.fox6now.com/news/aurora-grafton-discarded-covid-19-vaccine-incident-was-intentional?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%20Manual&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3Jg2QAn2PzdAqAzqUzKULa0lUupKEhMpc8mPffai7kT7W4Z43g8GRdjro
That is absolutely appalling.
It never occurred to me that someone would do this on purpose - how awful
Is it really? I’m sure you know plenty of people like I do, who crowd themselves into bars, restaurants, and hosted big indoor holiday gatherings...essentially the same thing. America - Eff Yeah!
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
Healthcare workers say 'no thanks' to the COVID vaccine:https://www.yahoo.com/news/many-frontline-workers-refuse-covid-201555764.html
We've got some real effed-up dopes in this country.
Again, try to hold judgement. For example, I have an older sister in ohio that is an rn at a nursing home. I haven't talked to her yet, but she's already "survived" covid and I wouldn't be surprised if she declined a vaccine thinking that someone else might need "her dose" more. The logistics have been a nightmare, and those forgoing doses might unwittingly be letting those go to waste (assuming better organization). But the truth is, unless you're directly connected to a hospital or elderly care facility there's not been much planning for this by the states (even though we'd hope otherwise).
