Re-allocation of the pie will yield marginal results. We need more approved vaccines.

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’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.

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.

There should be a big thermometer in Times Square, and elsewhere, maybe on the web, that shows number of doses in storage and number of people vaccinated.

It’s on the web where more people can see it.

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...

We talked again about this maybe 3 months ago. Simple answer is I don’t know.
I speculated at the time that the government stepped up to the plate so maybe they think they didn’t have to. But that was just speculation.

A friend of mine's wife got the call yesterday, and the jab today. She's a harbormaster on
Cape Cod. -

It's hilarious. I looked her up on LinkedIn, and she's actually an assistant Harbormaster.

So she sits in a tug by herself most of the time and 3-4 times a day joins one person in a cockpit for 20m. But by all means she 'deserves' it.
Her 74 year old mom on chemo is just gonna have to wait.
