You need to keep up. We dealt with this one a while ago.

Well it is a total miss characterization. Do you check for accuracy or just re-spray?

A friend in her late 30s and works as a physical rehab assistant just announced she is scheduled for hers next week. That’s a little annoying.

Maybe that’s because she needs to work with many elderlies?

So the CDC just yesterday did a last minute about face and added 65+ and immunocompromised to the 1b list.
But in practice it's too late. At least in NY and likely other places.
THey've had the scheduling system open for the essential worker category for a while now so every 18 year old grocery store employee (yeah, really) has already reserved a spot, while the earliest their 74 year old grandmothers on chemotherapy can get an appointment if they go online today is (literally) April.

What’s with the prioritization of “essential” workers?:I disagree with her on many things, but she's always struck me as being a reasonable person:
Tulsi Gabbard was my preferred Democrat candidate in the nomination race. I found her stances on various issues quite agreeable.

That’s wrong, and to the extent there’s any truth to it, it’s only because we’ve already wasted millions on people at low risk.
But sure, if we increase the capacity we can reduce the cost of this tragic mistake.
What percent have been vaccinated already? It seems so low that the impact wouldn’t be that great.
I have no clue why who got vaccinated was decided but I assume it wasn’t political as in partisan.
-
It wasn't political as in partisan, it was political as in 'who deserves it', rather than based purely on risk. Part of that was driven by a desire for 'equity' (newspeak for discrimination) but part of it was just (IMO) an expression of guilt by those who could avoid the risk to those who couldn't.

Where's the Gates operation that was supposed to vaccinate the world within 6 months of a vaccine?
Also, those 18-year-old Walmart employees really should stand aside...
