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.
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.
It's clown shoes. And purposeless.

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.

Oh. That’s....different
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.

It's funny how The Plague ran rampant after austerity and neoliberal voodoo starved the public sectors in Europe in imitation of the same 40-year trend in America.
It's almost as if defunding government to coddle the rich in a mindless regurgitation of debunked conservative fiscal policy kills people.

Orioles general manager Mike Elias revealed Friday that outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad wasn't part of the team's alternate camp last year due to a bout with myocarditis.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart and is the same affliction Eduardo Rodriguez of the Red Sox developed last year following a bout with COVID-19... Kjerstad is feeling good now and is expected to report to spring training a little later on.

Clown shoes doesn't even begin. I understand your frustration. A lot of people worked very hard to get things set up. I also don't think that should ever have happened. I cannot fathom how the 'experts' could be so inept at planning or how they thought it was a good idea to rely on independent entities without them being under the umbrella of DPH and needing to offer to all.
The hospital systems are not distributing to everyone, only those in their system. In my area LGH system was making appts for their patients but was not open to anyone else. Just a few towns over a smaller hospital system is struggling to access vaccine. None of the patients connected to them have access thru that hospital.
They missed contacting 25% of MDs and NPs because they didn't work for a big system. Large portions of the population are also being missed because they are not connected to the 'right' place. Basically it is word of mouth and rumor that lets people know where they might try to get access.
They have a fragmented, decentralized, uncoordinated mess. Every place that a supply of vaccine appears to be working independently. Different sign up process, different forms to sign up, most excluding all but 'their' people. There are large patches of the State that do not have accessibility - the Cape is without for one.
And after saying people who drive someone can get it- not really- only at the 4 mass sites and they have to have an appt. THis after people showed up everywhere. You can't make up being this stupid.
Do you understand that this is nothing new?
