I don't know which is the epoch times thread but just wanted to post that I hadn't known before tonight that it was for sure maybe a real thing.

And one of the reasons I felt like if I have the ability to get out of a hight demand vaccine community and take one where there is a surplus and expiring it's going to help someone who can't travel get one faster.  Let's hope they can figure out better distribution plans immediately

Sedgwick Co is now chipping aircraft workers ahead of under 65's with comorbitities. Mrs Gooch who is well on the periphery of the aircraft "supply chain" was given an appointment for today after signing up yesterday. eff it, I'm absolutely going to spin my employment as a health care support job to get a chip. Restaurants and bars are packed and people have already stopped wearing masks in the grocery stores. I have barely left my house in a god damn year and these assholes are acting like this is all over. I put in my time and will absolutely be jumping the line to get my life back since everyone here is done doing even the slightest amount of mitigation.

While I don't disagree with that, I think this is one of those "problems" that in 2-4 weeks we're wondering why it was ever a problem. we're chipping at 2mil/day, it's going to only get better.

I have zero issue with most line jumpers. If you're interested in living your life without dying or becoming a long hauler, then you should do whatever you can to get the vaccine. Literally slap the jab out of the hand of a medical professional getting ready to jab a 70 year old woman with cancer for all I care. I have much less tolerance for line jumpers who have spent the last year not taking this seriously.

The reason why I don't care about older people getting jumped is that there are a lot of older people who haven't taken it seriously either. We're just assuming that the idiots are 22 year olds who just want to go get hammered in Daytona, and there's a great deal of that, but there are also still heath care workers not taking advantage and old people who think this is a complete scam. You don't have to wait for these people.

The county I work in won't move to the next tier, under 65 with pre-existing conditions, until 60% of the proportion population 65 and older are vaccinated. This is the largest county in the state, that's insane. The largest long term care facility in the city only has 62% of their employees vaccinated because the rest refuse to get it. It's been three months, no one should have to wait on these people. Luckily most retail pharmacies nationwide aren't abiding by the generally stricter local tiers and guidelines.

That's ridiculous. They should give these groups a window, and then close it. If you are a teacher and still haven't been vaccinated 2 weeks after it was available to teachers, then you should have to wait until the high school kids you teach have had their chance before it's your turn again.

So no consideration in the percent for those who don't want to be chipped? That's the problem with just setting a hard percent before moving on or even sending # of chips to communities based on percent done. That's how you end up with empty mass vax sites in middle missouri.

I think the surplus in rural counties thing is happening more than people realize... I was just able to get an appt in a county 45 min outside of Denver tomorrow for a Moderna shot.  There were a lot of appts available because they had so many extra shots.  Super pumped to be getting 'chipped!

Has Biden really been doing much to improve distribution or are they really just doing a poor job of communicating what they got in the works? I’m pretty surprised they haven’t moved on from the initial priority groups in my area given that I haven’t talked to anyone who’s had issues getting an actual appointment.

There’s still apparently extremely low waste here though. Probably because a lot of places don’t even ask if you’re in one of the categories. So maybe it’s a bit of a prisoners’ dilemma situation.

Just found out the hospital my wife works at charges insurance $40 per shot to administer it.  Even thou the government is paying for the vaccine .  Every body got to get there share; maybe that's why the major Pharms' all want a piece of the action.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Please walk me through how these folks are getting jabbed in your city/county. Step by step, and with detail. Thanks.

Find a list of pharmacies that are getting the shot (think it’s on state DHS website) and call saying you’d like to schedule an appointment. Some will just put you on list list without any questions (sometimes). Kroger and some others allow online appointments too (if you are in a risk category). Not sure what the backlog looks like.

That's 100% on your local authorities. Iowa is dead ass last in percentage of citizens vaccinated, last. However, some communities are already one tier away from vaccinating the general public. The local government entities that are getting the vaccine from the feds are generally behind the private sector, everywhere, nationwide. I'm assuming because these city and government county health departments don't have the logistical strength to move through these tiers as quickly as Wal-Mart, or Walgreens, Kroger, Hyvee, etc. Honestly, I feel like this rollout is going much better than I thought it would.

Yep I'll get the shot whenever. I'm confident it won't take too long and I've made it this far. Things, overall, area going absolutely spectacularly.

Will be interesting to see what death trends do over the next five to ten years after this. Will there be a lower death rate over the next 12 months because the virus took so many of the frailest Americans? Will there be more deaths from colon / breast / lung cancer because people delayed screenings - or will it not matter as long as people can get caught up on health screenings this year. Also, it seemed like deaths from the opioid epidemic had been going down so that trend will be interesting to see, also. I don't have a position on it, I'm just curious to watch the trends.
