One million of those we had all of December. It would go better if we put the DMV in charge.

I can get an MRI within three weeks here in the US from Private Health Care. in Cannuckistan, you are lucky to get that scan in 11 weeks.

It varies on everything even within the US and even within Canada. I need to wait until March 1 to get in for an abscessed tooth that likely needs pulled and an implant.

I'm not arguing one over the other. I just wish either would get tis vax out and in arms. Doesn't matter how or who to me. Private can't do it it's too big of lift though.

It really has been messed up and most folks don't know the half of it if they are relying on any news outlet.

Spoke to a guy from New Mexico at the range today, his contacts back there say COVID has hit people on the reservation really hard and with an unusually high mortality rate. I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut prisoners are getting preference for the vaccine.

Well at least you’ll understand the current crop of #resist #impreach #notmypresident.

Covid is absolutely hitting the reservations hard. I work directly with that population and am trying to support vaccination efforts.

Just a glimpse in to the American Indian situation and the vaccine. Some IHS facilities are relying on the Indian Health Service for their vaccine, others are getting it through their States. Some say IHS is way better than their State, others say their State is way better than IHS. Both statements are true depending where you are at. It's hard to track and follow in any systematic way. And that is not to mention the title 638 Tribally run facilities.

Not referring to IHS here but the whole thing is a mess. Our healthcare system is very inefficient when it comes to public health.

so...you're saying it isn't all Trump's fault?

Me? It's not all Trumps fault at all but the things would have been much much better with more competence and less pure political manipulation of data and messaging (lies and deceit). The denial has been the worst part, and manipulating things to fit that denial. Well and claiming there are plans when there are not and not working on the plans to make the lie true at some point in the future.... other than that EDIT.... and there was a play book for just this thing that was thrown out because.... well .... it was the past administrations playbook so it had to be bad....

Look at Alex Azar's comments around this topic in just the last couple weeks.

so, a strong, unified, funded and staffed federal vaccination plan could have solved the disparate and myriad state and local "vaccination plans" that appear to be where the finger pointing is happening?

forget the smaller than promised/expected production of vaccine doses available...why wasn't the Defense Production Act invoked to get more doses made, involving more pharmaceutical production labs?

sure looks like nobody at the various levels of govt. were communicating and developing a vaccination plan in the 9 months they had to develop a workable one

Hard to say. Some States are better than others so they would get punished if you did that.

I'm up for a vaccine on February 4th. Wife needs to get one where there's doctors so we are going to a hospital. VAMS run, so I wouldn't be surprised if we got a postponement unless Joe gets the distribution straightened out by then.
