When I was a kid in school, I recall seeing pictures of the polio vaccine being administered with people lined up everywhere, almost like the old WWII recruiting stations doing the qualifying physicals. Why is it so hard to get something like that setup today when we were able to do it 70 years ago?

It's a production issue issue primarily, and an administration issue secondarily. We (the world) do not have enough doses yet to do this. Beyond that, since there was a stunning and catastrophic lack of direction from our federal government, everyone has been scrambling to figure out what's required to store, prepare, administer and document this. A functioning federal government would have resolved that issue ahead of time, but the production would have been there regardless.

I've read some articles stating that the DPA could have aided the production issues, but I remain unconvinced on that.


Complicating things are the fact that these first two approved vaccines are two-dose vaccines and require the second dose in a pretty tight cadence. Seeing CVS and Walgreens advertising that they can administer these two makes me incredibly nervous - how are they ensuring patients return? Are they at all?
 
The entrepreneurial spirit.

Eventbrite sites posing as local Florida health departments have reportedly targeted seniors in the state by charging money for fake vaccination appointments, prompting local health officials to issue warnings to residents Monday.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued an executive order on Dec. 23 mandating that those 65 and older would be among the first people of the general public to receive the vaccine, after health care workers and those living in long-term care facilities.

According to Pasco County health department spokesperson Melissa Watts, some seniors have recently arrived at vaccination centers in the county claiming to have appointments, only to find out their reservation was fraudulent, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The Eventbrite websites reportedly charged people to schedule appointments, prompting officials in both Pasco and Pinellas counties to notify residents that there is no cost to register for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Texas Man Went to Trial COVID Positive Jurors Not Told They Were Exposed Until After Deliberations

The defendant had been unaware of his test result, but Brazos County jail officials knew. Pratt should never have been allowed to leave an isolated cell, let alone been taken to the courthouse in a county vehicle while seated next to another defendant who then sat in another courtroom all day. The sheriff blamed a lack of communication between detention and transport staff, a problem he later said was remedied with better signage in isolation wards and updated lists of inmates who’ve tested positive.

The next morning, Smith let the jury finish deliberating while Pratt stayed in isolation at the jail. When jurors reached a verdict, Smith told them they’d all potentially been exposed to the coronavirus and the case would be recessed for at least two weeks while everyone went into quarantine.

The jury wasn’t allowed to announce if it found Pratt guilty or innocent because the defendant wasn’t present.

In the courtroom next door, where the trial for Pratt’s earlier car companion, Charles Raines, was still ongoing, the judge declared a mistrial after telling the jurors they had been potentially exposed to the virus. Raines tested positive for the coronavirus soon after.

225k new cases and almost 3500 deaths...

So since the Election is ending the disease if the EC votes are counted tomorrow does this all end or because they probably will file more lawsuits will it end at noon on the 20th? Asking for some undocumented workers in Nebraska and people who eat meat ;^)

I’m going to unload some questions that have been rattling around in my head for a few weeks now. Not directed at you, just asking the universe.
4-6 weeks to create, how many weeks to ramp production?
What happens to the existing doses?
What happens to people who have already had their vaccine?
What about people who have one dose?
Can we double up to get the variants at the same time? Would it be a single “configuration” to get both or just go after the dominant strain? Or would you get a cocktail?

THis sounds very similar to the H1N1 scenario when we were already giving one vaccine and they figured it out. Curious to see if anyone knows the answers to this.

Have my appt scheduled. PSYCHED doesn't begin to describe it. I am licensed in MA and NH. NH emailed me, and within a day I was sent link to schedule. I have 2 licenses in MA and have heard crickets. I get we have a bigger population in MA but that cow country can be more organized than a State with cutting edge medical system is kinda scary. The mr is very hi risk and works for the State system. He can't get anyone to answer what the plan is and he is calling people at a pretty high level.

Is it too much to hope that this wakes people up to the fact that capitalistic medicine is a big fail? Was shocked to my toes to hear one of the previously died in the wool Dumpers in the fam go off long and loud about him mismanaging things.

I'm surprised your Mr's employer hasn't contacted him.
Anecdotally, someone I know that works in sports medicine for Notre Dame posted his pic to social media with his vaccination record, having received his first dose this week.

Not only is there nothing from his employer, he has contacted them, contacted the people running the whole system, the health clinic and a bunch of other people and nothing.
 
There is now a HUGE super-spreader event at the Capitol. What a mess not to mention all the other things that could be said.
 
Congrats everyone we broke the 4k barrier!

No way this is the all-time high. Going to keep getting worse for a couple more months, at least.
