    I'm surprised at the vaccination progress, as of now, even though I was pretty critical of the slow start. I think I know way more people who have been vaccinated than I do who actually had the disease.

      I'm pretty sure a scope and biopsy would tell Toews if he had colitis.
      I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

        When he had it they didn’t reveal it for a long time. They kept saying they didn’t know what was wrong which always sounded suspicious to me. I hope Toews gets good news.

        • Yesterday, governor Charlie Baker in MA informed hospital systems that he was clawing back vaccinations and significantly reducing the doses being sent to hospitals. Enough for the remainder of staff and patients already scheduled (both doses if necessary), but no more. This is asinine and reeks of floundering without a plan. The amount of time, money and energy every hospital system has invested into getting vaccination clinics stood up, tested, interfaced and billable is staggering and it comes at a time when we do not have any money. And to inform us - without any warning - that we weren't going to see the fruits of that labor is absolutely unbelievable to me.

            That seems a little weird. What is the alternate plan?

            According to the Bloomberg vaccine tracker site, MA has administered just over 68% of the doses it's received. Nationally, 70% of the doses have been administered, so they are basically right on the national average.

              The plan is for the state to manage it entirely. And it's been a disaster at that level, so I have small hope for it.

              • Are they being sent to primary care clinics instead ? I’m ok with that. Get all hospital staff and patients done, but I think clinics will do a better job of getting their patients scheduled and vaccinated if that’s the phase they’re moving to

                  He’s following the science or something. He was doing good until last fall and has completely lost the plot since.

                    No, the state is pulling everything into their mass vaccination sites.

                      Agreed. It seems like he ran out of gas in September/October and just started punting.

                            I wonder if that's even true now? This has not been announced to the media yet, so I have no idea of the scope, but I work for the 2nd biggest hospital system in the state and have contacts in the 1st and 3rd biggest - all saying the same thing.

                              I dont know about in Mass but CNN did have a story about how CVS was getting more for sure.

                              • The EU, and Germany in particular, has been pretty horrible with the vaccination. Not enough available, too few people to administer, and just a generally slow process to the point that a few fellow Americans have debated taking a trip back to the US to get their vaccinations. All of us/them have medical histories at clinics or hospitals in Minnesota, which seems to have done a great job with administrating the vaccine. We'll see what happens, but as a healthy under 40-year-old, I'm going to be one of the last regardless.

                                Let's hope fans are allowed and I'm able to travel in mid-may for the IIHF world championships as it coincides with a trip already planned to Riga. But I'm curious what Lufthansa will enact with vaccination requirements. I'm totally for it, even if it means I can't travel.
