Yeah I hear a story on the news while in California about 1.5k vaccines tossed due to no shows and now today I can’t even find the story!

Thanks Joe it never happened!

here's the story...

It’s a problem

typical bureaucratic BS

I heard those were the ballots that were for Trump that he found in some river in some state somewhere in America...

too soon?

Problem with the vaccines if you get too cute about who gets it and who doesn’t you end up throwing it away. once it’s mixed with saline the clock really starts ticking.

Jesus what kind of buffoons run that facility

that was the primary reason given for trashing them...agencies were too afraid to ignore the guidelines when they had more than they needed to jab the tier 1A folks and couldn't get approval to go to lower tiers...some places ignored the guidelines after the first shots were given and they had left overs, gave them to random peeps...

Common sense goes a long way

I wouldn't know.

So you're OK that pharmacies ignore guidelines and inject random peeps with the vaccine?

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.

And tier 1 had an “ethnic” component.

Thanks Al.

No. I was referring to the guidelines themselves. The root.

But it's still OK for them to ignore the guidelines and go ahead and act on their own?

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

No. I’m talking about common sense setting the guidelines. I’m not where you are at at all.

I thought we were supposed to follow the guidelines set out by the medical professionals who know all the data and stuff. So we just ditch that and now set the guidelines based on common sense and ignore the medical professionals' guidelines? If we are to set the guidelines based on common sense, who's common sense are we suppose to be using?

Sounds kinda hypocritical when you've been beating the drum that we must follow the guidelines and mandates set up by the medical professionals all this time. You've been blasting everyone for not doing so. But when the health care professionals don't follow the guidelines they are just using common sense so it's all good.

Within each shipment of vaccine, the guidelines for who gets what and when simply states: "Guidelines for administering: Use your common sense."

I like it, short and sweet. Uses less paper.

Still wondering what your reaction would have been if Trump tweeted to ignore the guidelines and just use common sense, go to the nearest healthcare facility and ask if they have any leftovers to give out.

Jonsie, see any leftovers while dumpster diving? Set up a vaccine booth at your HUT.

I don’t think you understand what I am saying at all.

Feel free to elaborate. The initial questions I has were.

So you're OK that pharmacies and/or health care facilities ignore guidelines and inject random peeps with the vaccine?

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?

Allow me to jump into TW's headspace for a moment.

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

So 9 - do you really expect that anyone with any sense pays attention to what trump tweets ? We should have stand byes for excess vaccine doses - we don't have enough to throw them away.
