yes and if we could "circle back" on any number of topics here, i wish the same attitude would have been taken
The state where she resides allowed her to get the shot. As long as she was truthful with her replies, thats the only thing she has to worry about.
so nice to see lunch pail joe getting the vaccine to the gitmo "miscreants" before most of our level 1, 2 and even 3 CITIZENS get it are we out of our collective minds? get the damn thing to our teachers so we can justify their paychecks at least and get our kids back in school. gitmo should be the least of our worrieshttps://thehill.com/policy/defense/536431-guantanamo-bay-prisoners-to-be-offered-coronavirus-vaccines
‘Tale of two cities.’ Racial disparity found in who gets vaccines in Charlottehttps://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article248956709.html?ac_cid=DM378104&ac_bid=-657420267More than two-thirds of the people vaccinated by Mecklenburg County Public Health are white, according to data released Tuesday that provided a race and ethnicity breakdown for the first time at the local level.Only 16% of people given first doses of the COVID-19 vaccines by the health department have been Black. That’s a big disparity compared to the county’s demographics, which show nearly 32% of people in Mecklenburg are Black, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.By contrast, 69% of people given first doses by the county are white, and white people comprise 54% of the county population.And people living in the “wedge” of Charlotte — a collection of affluent neighborhoods in south Charlotte — are receiving vaccines at a higher rate than many other Charlotteans, a ZIP code map released by county Public Health Director Gibbie Harris Tuesday shows.“We do see some under-representation in our people of color,” Harris told county commissioners during their board meeting Tuesday night. “It is not what we would want it to be. We know we need to continue our work in these areas.”People in the “crescent” of Charlotte — a band of high-poverty neighborhoods in the west, north and east of Charlotte —are receiving vaccines at lower rates than those in the wedge.“You literally have a tale of two cities,” the Rev. Willie Keaton, chairman of social justice advocacy group Restorative Justice CLT, told the Observer. “You have a deeply segregated city, of rich and poor. You have the wedge and the crescent.”
I'm not as sure as you are Hards about the demographics of 1A. There's a huge Indian and East Asian population of doctors, latinx populations are filling the nursing shortages, and support staff in healthcare tends to be BIPOC. I mean it may still be majority white but not as disproportionately so that it accounts for the lack of vaccine in BIPOC populations.
I mean, it's not surprising that ethnic minorities and/or the poor are falling behind in vaccinations. It's a population that has relatively poor access to health care overall.
NFL offers the use of all NFL stadiums for Covid mass-vaccination efforts.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/05/nfl-offers-biden-football-stadiums-for-covid-vaccination-sites-.htmlGreat gesture. Hopefully we can speed up the supply lines so we need huge vaccination sites....
Read today that with the defense production act measures Biden is putting in place, they think they can get over 400M doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines by early summer. Possibly enough to vaccinate every American by the end of summer. Obviously, their could be/will be some hiccups but that's a heck of an improvement from thinking vaccination would take into 2022.
That truly is craptity news. We really need to crank up production of the mRNA vaccines.
That is the plan.
Imagine if that was the plan months ago.
