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...

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.

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?

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
