It's awful to hear y'all kids & families are suffering. I hope everybody gets better as soon as possible.

While I still believe it is important for the public to see its leaders getting the vaccine, I do find myself getting angry at seeing people who have spent the last nine months downplaying the seriousness of the virus get the vaccine. Can some of those “essential” store workers who were getting their asses kicked, being coughed and spat on just for asking people to wear masks get pushed to the front of the line too? |
This the kind of crap that drives me crazy: Georgia Covid vaccine distribution to health care facilities is uneven
To sum up, rich private cancer center with no ER or COVID ward has their entire staff vaccinated, while a non-profit hospital chain on the front line of dealing with COVID has yet to receive any. Priority is always to the wealthy. |
Pence should not have been given a vaccine. Same for Congress.
|
I disagree, Rainmaker. The more people willing to take the vaccine, the better. It is pretty important for prominent Republicans to publicly take the shot as an example. They have done nearly everything wrong on this, but if they refused the vaccine, that would be among the worse.

Even though cases have been peaking since after Thanksgiving, our health department will stop doing daily news releases in the new year.
Problem solved. |
Not sure which thread to post this, but guess it will be seen by more here. Just another example that while being young and healthy mean the likelihood is that you won’t have major issues, it’s not a guarantee

Apparently this is tied to some executive orders, AOC (and others I'm sure but I follow AOC) basically got hers live via instagram, I believe she said that she didn't expect to get it so soon but there was a directive "strongly encouraging" all members of congress to do so. I'm fine with this, personally. |
I'm a little opposed to Congress going first, but anyone in the line of succession should absolutely get it ASAP.

I can be convinced otherwise but my first reaction is cutting in line. I get that America wants to see "leaders" take the vaccine to reassure it's safe. I want to see that and it makes sense for McConnell, Pelosi, Surgeon General, Pence, Birx, Fauci etc. to take it. But other healthy, younger politicians don't fall in 1a or 1b (currently where we are I think). It smacks of cutting in line. Why should AOC get it before my wife who is a teacher and literally on the front line dealing with kids (and yes, parents send their kids to school when sick)? Rhetorical question, we know why and I don't like it. I'm okay if it was clearly defined that XX politicians will be given the vaccine when 1a and 1b was defined, but I don't remember reading this in MSM. So this is a surprise and leaves a bad taste. Question - is this one off or is everyone in Congress going to get it before regular folks? |
I'm not sure I believe what both SG say. From the article, it's all fluff words without anything much behind it. It would have been better if they said like
"We are in touch with our colleagues in the UK, they've provided us with some sample and CDC is currently looking at it. Most likely our vaccines will work against this new strain but we will give you a preliminary confirmation by XX date. In the meantime, err on the side of caution and continue to ...." I'm definitely not a researcher but IMO can smell some BS here with the lack of specificity. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/cor...nerals-believe Quote:

She is 31 and from what we know a healthy individual. She has the ability to socially distance unlike many other jobs. My main issue is people like Joni Ernst who was pro-virus for the past year cutting the line to get a vaccine. Reap what you sow bitch. |
Mock Joni Ernst for her hypocracy, but still televise her getting that shot. Can you imagine the level of crazy the conspiracy theories would get if no Republicans got the vaccine?

Pro-virus? What policy positions are pro-virus?

The below questionnaire is to gauge where you may be in line.
New tool tells you when you may be able to get COVID-19 vaccine Quote:
My result is no surprise. Quote:

I am phase 1b. Only 6% of people should be ahead of me. We'll see. I bet I will be lucky to get it in phase 2

Thanks for the link to the tools Edward

You are welcome. FWIW, I don't want it in Dec but I don't want it last either. Thinking about spending $25K to bribe someone to cut in line :) |
Scott fucking Atlas getting a WSJ opinion to blame HC professionals for spreading disinformation is such a 'perfect' way to end 2020 that i have to wonder if that really was meant to be released Dec 31. What a shitshow.

Heh, good point. How about "not believing in the severity/danger of coronavirus". |

Damn elitist. |
Apparently, according to the tool I may never get the Vaccine.

Phase 2 for me from the looks of it.
|
Only 2 million people ahead of me in my state.

And you are complaining? 8.6M ahead of me. |
SO many people at my wife's work won't take it that she may get in tomorrow or Thursday.

Birx is resigning. She was hypocritical and didn't think her directions to regular folks applied to her. I don't think she needed to resign, just a heart felt apology that she screwed up would have been okay.
Might also have been miffed that Biden seemed to have preferred Fauci. |
|
Quote:
Is she resigning under trump? I don't see Biden really playing into it at the moment. Or am I missing something? |
Quote:
If you are pushing policy or conspiracy theories that result in the virus spreading, you are pro-virus. Just as if she was consistently pushing policies that led to war, I'd consider her and others pro-war. |
Quote:
Was pretty vague but it just sounds like she won't be working for the Biden administration. My guess is they told her she was gone when they take over and resigning is a nicer way of leaving. Can maybe salvage a shred of whats left of her reputation. |
I find this very hard to believe ... can it be true that SF only had 173 coronavirus fatalities? I get it's city vs county (county is what is typically reported in GA) but the 173 seems extremely low.
Overdose deaths outnumber COVID-19 deaths more than 3 to 1 in San Francisco | TheHill Quote:

They have had some of the strongest restrictions and high compliance rates. Plus a world class health system and department of health that made testing real easy for anyone.
I think people have said that the AIDS crisis in the city helped build a great health infrastructure for today. |
Quote:
The takeaway here, if the numbers are correct, is the great job dealing with the virus. Drugs are a threat to every city and they aren't going away with a vaccine. There are much more complex problems at play with drug and drug addiction than just dealing with prevention and emergency medical treatment of a virus. |
Quote:
Like if Birx is not wanted by Biden, but not being pushed out by Trump, isn't it basically at-will employment/allowed for the incoming administration to decline to keep anyone? Or is that a perception I have because people used to play by honorable rules, but the legal reality is murkier? |
Quote:
She works at the discretion of the President. It doesn't appear she is going to be asked to be on his coronavirus task force. Biden could move her elsewhere into the shadows to avoid having to let her go, but my guess is she sees the writing on the wall. |
Texas and Florida doing it their own way, prioritizing the older folks before essential workers. I don't agree or disagree, don't think there is one right answer to sequencing.

Let's hope that 2021 is the expected slow plodding of vaccinations, some bumps and acrimony, but largely completed by late-summer.
Because we apparently have mutated strains in UK (not new news), in South Africa (not quite new news but came out yesterday) and now in Nigeria (today's new news). It's 50-50 right now whether we get the Zombie Apocalypse / 24 Days worse case scenario. |
Bloomerberg has a really nice vaccine tracker that they're updating throughout the day. Some of the states and countries report data a few days after the fact, so it's fair to say we're well over 3.3 million globally vaccinated so far, and 1.23 million in the U.S. Just a nice daily boost to your morale. At least 3 states have already vaccinated over 1% of their population (they're counting everyone who has started the 2 drug sequence).

I read somewhere the goal was 20M vaccinated in the US in Dec. Likely be missing that goal but hopefully we can really get in gear in Jan or right after the inauguration. I don't think we should be critical of missing that goal, this is all uncharted territory since polio/small pox mass vaccinations. Definitely a learning curve here. |
My wife got the first dose yesterday.

How does she feel? |
A bit sore in the arm, but otherwise fine.

We haven't heard from Atocep for the past couple days, and he was the first of us to get a shot. So like History Channel Ancient Aliens series "... could it be that Atocep is now slowing turning into a zombie or a rager?" |
I don't know what the big deal is with people having allergic reactions to the vaccines. Yeah, the first time it was interesting and nice to know there is a process to resolve it (e.g. epipens). But does MSM have to report (seemingly) every time it happens now?
Approx 1M+ have been vaccinated, and there have been < 10 bad allergic reactions, all taken care of. Let me know if someone dies or something really, really bad happens. Otherwise, just keep on saying vaccines are safe and that if you have an allergic reaction, the health care workers know what to do etc. |
Quote:
Add France to the list of a new variant. So let's up the odds to 60-40 now :) |
Quote:
The reporting of the <10 bad allergic reactions are not meant for you. They are meant for the record to show that they did report the reaction and did not hide them. It will not make that big of a difference because for anti vaxxers, the coverage of those bad reactions should be covered in the way 9/11 was covered. Thems the rules of the game until told otherwise. |

Okay, I see what you are saying. I can buy that. |
