In some areas, the guidelines for distributing the vaccine seem to have been ignored and I raised a couple questions in another thread.

Some of you think this is OK because the health care facilities are using common sense when they seem to have extras.

This led me to the following couple of questions:

What if Trump tweeted that people should check in at your local healthcare places, pharmacies, etc. because they have leftover doses and that these places should ignore guidelines and go ahead and give any leftovers to anyone asking for them, even stop passerbys to offer the injections?
You guys would be foaming at the mouth about impeachment, overstepping bounds, ignoring the science professionals, malpractice, inciting mobs to storm the healthcare facilities and any other blather you could come up with.
Tell me I'm wrong.

Again, if Trump tweeted for them to do this what would your reaction be?

1) Damn, my azz hurts. When will it stop? Guess I really was full of chit.
2) If Trump were to tweet exactly as you stated, then yes, he would be met with ridicule. Overwhelming facilities that don't have the supply to meet demand will end badly.
However, if he were to come up with something along the lines of empowering these vaccine facilities to come up with a procedure to create a wait list after the local 1a needs were met in order to use doses effectively as opposed to tossing them in the garbage, this would be chalked up to common sense.
3) Wrong forum, noob. Political inflammation can be had at any number of other threads on a daily basis
SOB's #2 (yuck) leads me to ask the following additional questions.
Is it the president's responsibility to come up with the guidelines and acceptable options for deviating from these guidelines or is it the responsibility of an anointed team of health care/distribution professionals?
Do the president or the health care professionals allow the vaccine facilities to deviate from the original guidelines as they see fit based on their "common sense?"
That doesn't sound like a very sound strategy. If Trump were to do that or encourage that, you'd be all over him for it. But it sounds like some folks are OK with it.
I thought that if we were to follow and obey the professional's guidelines during this pandemic, we'd be out of the woods by now. However, some of you appear to be fine with some facilities going rogue and deviating from the plan based on "common sense."
