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.
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...

Got my call for vaccination today.
I respectfully declined...

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.

I may have missed the answer to that...

Jolly, I must have missed something.
Why did you decline?
It's pretty important to me if you're not taking the vaccine, you are the most knowledgeable on this forum when it comes to how things like a vaccine works.Of course it's none of my business, so there is that.
