Duzzy Funlop posted:Germany is doing a big ol' "vaccination summit" today since the rollout has been quite a mess due to supply shortages. America's in a very similar position where we generally *think* the bottleneck is currently vaccine production, but the Trump administration never put in any kind of infrastructure to track doses once they actually arrived at the local areas. The Biden folks don't know if anywhere up to 20M doses are sitting on a shelf or in arms somewhere, as the trump people specifically set up things to take zero risk and all credit, regardless if the local states/counties knew what they were doing or not. So I have one parent in one county that I got scheduled (online appointments opened at a set time and I slogged through a laggy server to do it) and another parent in another county that only has a mystery "hold your place" signup system. All while everyone's like GET YOUR SHOT ASAP, IT'S SAFE because the overall government has to tamp down the antivaxxer poo poo.

I'm apt to go with "not enough doses" as the problem. My area has the space and capability to put needles in arms, but not enough doses for needles. We have vaccine sites that are closed over the weekend. They have enough people to run the place, just nothing to give people. Most places "reservation" system is garbage. While it helps things, it isn't completely necessary. I've also heard (anecdotal) about doses being "wasted" due to the constraints on storage. If ANYTHING happens to disrupt the line, doses are wasted due to spoilage. I would be really curious to hear about how quickly we make/made this vaccine.

I'm not willing to give that kind of pass to the slimy shitheads that were in control for the last four years. My personal gut feeling is that this is incompetence in record-keeping combined with creative coverup bookkeeping. The vaccine is high enough profile that they felt they could extract something in exchange for it. Whether straight up bribes in to their pockets or "maybe my friends who vote for XYZ will get special consideration, don't you think?" wink wink nudge nudge stuff. Zero proof of any of that, just what I've come to expect from these fuckers.

I hate giving the benefit of the doubt to Joe but I could easily believe that on top of usual incompetence the Trump administration straight up sabotaged some poo poo on the way out. What blows my mind is how decorum poisoned the current administration is acting in regards to all of this but I guess it’s trying to keep the vaccine rollout as bipartisan as possible. I watched one of the briefings and even though the press secretary was quoting Joe you could tell from the tone that they weren’t necessarily left in a peachy keen situation when they took over. Edit: Holy poo poo that dude is dumb as gently caress and is probably getting paid out the rear end to just sling dumbshit on a small stage. How do I land a gig like that? Weak rear end cops got their poo poo handed to them by a 9yo what the gently caress? Cenen fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Feb 1, 2021 |

They convinced my NCOIC, who had north of 15k in student loans at 3.5% APR, to shovel 10k in deployment money at, and I'm not exaggerating, the peak of that 2011 run.

Every single time someone mentions senate bipartisanship the response should just be, Merrick Garland, Amy Barret and then swiftly ignore whatever else can be ignored after that. There is no way that the GOP plays the same game with a 50/50 senate and Pence up there, 0 chance.

My guess is that they’re still being insanely precious about which sites get to administer the vaccines. The cold storage requirements aren’t nearly onerous enough to justify stockpiling the vaccines; both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines can last for weeks with standard equipment or dry ice boxes. Another thought is that the distribution plans didn’t account for a refusal rate of 40-60% (or greater) for Tier 1 folks so those vaccines are just sitting there without a way to be redistributed to counties that can use them.

The Senate GOP proposal is such a wet fart that it's an insult to sulphur and/or moisture. https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1356243961405444100?s=19 It's a third of what Biden wants, with no state/local aid, lower checks, cut-but-extended unemployment, and is probably so lovely that Manchin/Sinema yell about how lovely it is. It's got more bad faith than evangelism. So that's an actual positive!

I can’t get over how poo poo the whole press conference is. Guy is dressed like it’s casual Friday just kind of winging it like you can tell even he doesn’t believe the bullshit he is slinging to cover up an officer of the law being unable to safely place a 9yo girl in the backseat of a squad car without the use of handcuffs and pepper spray. I’ve seen episodes of Cops where they managed to get fit grown men on drugs in the back of the car with just a couple of cops and some handcuffs. Just a whole lot that doesn’t add up but for sure that cop is getting put on paid leave and then will get back pay after they investigate and find no wrong doing.

This is what passes for sound economic advice in 2021. I just moved away from it last week, but I lived in the literal shadow of the raymond james stadium and if the regular gameday crowd is any indication there will be very few people wearing masks, thousands milling in the streets and tailgate areas (and parking in people's yards for 100 bucks a spot). They put up a fuckload of security stuff and a 24 hour cop presence on every corner about a month ago too. The football crowd in this city suuuuuucks (its every city, fottball fans are the worst)

Refusal rate would be interesting to see. My parents live in VA. My mom is group 1B, she received 3 different invites for the shot. If she got three different invites, part of the issue may be allocation there. This is like watching a video of someone getting hit in the nuts on slow mode and pointing out everything that is setting up the dude for pain. This roll out was a giant mess from day one.

Anecdotally the refusal rate for the pediatric clinic she works at is about 50%, which seems crazy to me because kids have no qualms about sneezing directly into your mouth and laughing about it. The other thing that seems crazy to me is that a pediatric clinic has zero privileged access to vaccinations. The average refusal rate may be going down as more people see that taking the vaccine doesn’t make your brain hemorrhage out your nose.

It is actually been rolling out pretty well here in Texas in the last couple of weeks. My father and grandfather both got theirs 2 weeks ago and they are very high risk and I got mine on Friday as a medium-risk. It was done by all volunteers. They processed at least a thousand people while I was there in half an hour or so. All in vehicle. I got the Pfizer jab and felt like I had a hangover for 2 days. it's Texas so the only reason it worked out smoothly is the volunteers. If the local government tried to do it I'd be buying it behind buc-ee's from an electrical contractor.

Initial vaccine refusal rate for workers at senior living/care facilities was upwards of 70% in some locations. It’s since gone down thanks to a very intense and personal persuasion campaign, but vaccine skepticism is still too high among certain elements of the medical community- not necessarily among doctors and nurses, but those who work in support roles.

In FDRs first couple weeks on office the entire us banking system was first shut down for a couple days then reopened in a dramatically reformed way that is still the basis for modern financial regulation. Absolutely absurd that Joe is not only pretending to match that energy but exceed it 10x. https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/emergency-banking-act-of-1933 Joe is currently hesitating to pass a wildly popular stimulus bill in comparison.

The VA in Wichita seems to be doing well with the rollout. I am high risk and was originally scheduled for March 11th. I got a call last week and my appointment was moved to Feb 11th. When the nurse called I mentioned that I live 10 minutes away and if there were any cancellations I could come in. She said they have had only one no-show. The city, however, is still at 80 years old+ and front line workers only.
