Vaccine/Antibody updates

Had Trump not put the wheels of vaccine production in motion, and at the speed of light, Biden would have no vaccine to purchase and distribute at this point. Talk 'bout savin' lives, hey?

[GooooMarquette]

Pretty certain states would be heavily encouraged to be open by now if Trump were in his second term and teachers would be in classrooms, where they belong.

And we'd be 'winning' the pandemic death toll by an even larger margin.

What exactly did he do to "put the wheels of vaccine production in motion"? Say FedEx and Walgreens will handle it all?

Again, I wonder what it's like to live this ignorantly. As they say, ignorance is bliss.

When you create a hidey-hole in your head, you do things like try to have an accent on a message board.

Right.

Good thing Trump lost ai'na?

I agree 100% with you, its a good thing Drumpf is not in his second term. Cheers!

Yes. Warp speed was great.  No doubt.

His plans for distribution were awful. Good thing Biden was elected to fix that.

Glad you've seen the light.

Informative charts on vaccination rates.

We're up to 1 in 6 Americans vaccinated with at least one dose. There is a common denominator amongst all the states in the bottom quartile, I just can't quite put my finger on it...

Props to the bureau of prisons for using more than 100% of their doses.

Even then I would like to see what these look like in a month because every state has over ten percent with the first shot.  Not sure if the end of May is realistic, but the progress is good and looks to be accelerating at this point.

They put the skills of some of their guests to good use.

Good. I wouldn't want Biden (or his son) deciding how to handle a pandemic. We saw how that went over the last year, and it wasn't good. I don't know why you'd want him making those decisions. Unlike Trump, he'll get out of the way and let the people who are qualified to make these decisions do their work. And that is a very good thing for this country. You want this country open. You should be thanking your lucky stars for the change in administration.

Biden did make a decision.  "I'll let the qualified people make the call and then make it happen through my office."

Denying trumps involvement of getting the vaccine out very fast is stupid. Acting like the guy wasn't an absolute stain on the world is also stupid.

Absolutely.

Yes.  Trump's Warp Speed was excellent.  Biden's vaccine rollout is excellent.  Overall, modern medicine and modern science are absolutely incredible.

Here's a sign-up for a clearinghouse that makes sure unused vaccines (due to appointment no-shows, etc.) don't go to waste.  If they contact you, you have 15 minutes to respond, and you have 2 hours to get to the vaccination spot.

👏👏 i figured it was time to get my first dose lined up this morning and was shocked at the appointment availability through Walgreens online scheduling.  At my local Walgreens there were 40 available appointments for tomorrow and hundreds available at surrounding Walgreens sites

You're in a priority group?

1A cause job.  Far from high risk which is why I've been waiting but given the wide open availability seems to make sense to do it now.

In my head I told myself if after logging into Walgreens there was only a handful of available appointments I would have continued to wait it out but company I work for is really starting to lean on employees to get it ASAP so here goes nothing.

[rocky_warrior]

It's quick and easy.  Get the 2nd near the end of your day, that way you can sleep off the side-effects if you have them.

The amount of openings is staggering where I work. Where I live it's a rush when Walgreens opens appointments.

I don't shame anyone getting a vaccine if there's appointments available the same day.

I know a volunteer working at the county, she texts her entire address book at 3p daily to find arms for vaccines.

Get my second tomorrow at 5ish. Maybe I'll take some melatonin and ibuprofen right after and just pass right out.
