What’s with the prioritization of “essential” workers?

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.

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.

I don't know.

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...

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Got my call for vaccination today.
I respectfully declined...
Did you tell them?
Yep.

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.Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

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.
