Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

She didn't have to ballswaggle him like she was you with your beloved Suzie, either.

Anyone who thinks she couldn’t have done anything different is such a good little German.

She was in an impossible position, but so was Fauci and so were several others that didn't cowtow to him like this. I have little sympathy for her.

As a retail employee, I am eligible, so I am going today.

You can't schedule until you're eligible. The "eligible" date is for scheduling.

No, the eligible date is when I can get it. If I can get the vaccine on April 5, I need to be able to schedule it prior to that date. I'm hoping that since they release appointments every Thursday, I will get my notification on Wednesday.

She didn't have to quit...she also didn't have to go on TV and repeatedly lie. The problem isnt that she stuck around, the problem is that it was quite clear she wasn't fighting to do what is right while she was there. Her whole goal was to up her profile and stop Scott Atlas.

Compare her to Fauci who stuck around but made sure the right info got out there ASAP. he never went on cable news and talked about how Trump was super smart and was well informed on COVID and the work being done to fight it. She did that AFTER he made comments about injecting bleach into patients. (weeks after I believe)

She gets no priase, no forgiveness and she can fade away. She isnt the problem, she is a symptom of the problem.

Just listen to this ***** sell it

Going on day 6 of showing symptoms. Every time I cough it feels like my lungs are being dragged over burning coals. Temperature spikes up and down and very lightheaded every time I try to stand. Haven’t eaten anything significant in days, and I’m very tired. Hopefully the corner is being turned, but this is terrible.

Not sure if anyone else posted this from SNL yet, but it was pretty great.

I'm eligible today (in Florida). There's no central clearinghouse for appointments, of course - you have to search individually at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Publix (regional grocery store), etc. None of them have appointments in my area (populated by educated people from other places). *Plenty* of appointments available in Central Florida (swamps) and the panhandle (East Alabama)....

My 85 year-old grandfather in Port Charlotte (fairly red area) is still waiting. Of course, he lacks the technical know-how to schedule anything online so who knows how much of that is his own fault.

I lost it at Kenan as Biggie. That was brilliant.

Also: man, there is a lot of genuine anger in that piece. Boomers are like whites: enjoy your privilege because when the worm turns, in the words of Louis C.K., "we're not just dropping to second."

Yeah, but way too close to the coast. Too many humans living there.

I really wish I could screenshot the "availability" screen on the Publix website. They only have available appointments in 11 counties (out of 67 in Florida), 10 of which are in the Panhandle or are touching the state of Georgia. The only one not in those categories is Ocala county (right in the middle), an hour north of Orlando.

It wasn't an impossible decision. If her job meant either she look the other way while politicos passed on bad information, or she pass on bad information herself, she could have quit and let one of Donnie's ballwashers do that. Instead, she chose to stay, and do it herself.

If she wanted to get the right information out there, she could have stepped outside the government forum and done so. I'm sure she still would have had a soapbox to speak from.

But then Donnie and his cohorts would have said bad things about her on twitter, so..........................

This is not accurate. You can schedule that day and if you happen to snag a same-day appointment, then great. But consistently, first day of eligibility for <whatever group> is the scheduling part, not necessarily the administration part.

I think her internal calculus (and that of everyone with a brain on that "team") was "I can stay and limit the damage or leave and who knows what moron Trump will install". That was sort of blown out by the hiring of that wretched Scott Atlas, but I think that was her internal thought process. Again, not a lot of sympathy because others were in the same boat and didn't openly praise Trump while allowing him to spew garbage.

Same in Minnesota. Everyone over 16 is eligible as of tomorrow- no one wants those people scheduling until either tomorrow or likely even later- most of our clinics are still prioritizing higher need despite the gov saying everyone is eligible

So, along with being an incompetent ***-kisser, she's an egotistical cunt? "Only I can fix this".

Wow, sounds familiar.
