The Vaccination Paradigm...

"The bad news is allowing the federal and state (MN) governments into the the job of distributing the vaccines to those who want or need them. That is where Project Warp Speed became Mr. and Mrs. Slowsky instead." 

Okay you anti-vaxxers - settle down for a bit. I will make my position known one more time. I am pro-choice on vaccinations. If someone declines to get one, I am fine with that. If someone does get one, I am cool with that also. In any event, our country has invested zillions of dollars in buying hundreds of millions of doses of Covid vaccines. In other words, we are in the tank for buying at least two types of Covid vaccines for months to come. That is the good news. The bad news is allowing the federal and state (MN) governments into the the job of distributing the vaccines to those who want or need them. That is where Project Warp Speed suddenly became Mr. and Mrs. Slowsky instead. 

First off, hats off once again to President Trump for lighting the fire under Project Warp Speed. If not for that, we would not be having these distribution problems, as there would be nothing to distribute. Israel by the way, also went into getting vaccines ASAP. Only they have a normal government, and know the correct and efficient way of distributing vaccine. Bottom line? Any Israeli citizen who wanted to be vaccinated - is by now. 

How is Minnesota doing under Rocks and Cows? Not nearly as well as the country of Israel. We are stumbling all over ourselves just to get a small percentage of our state vaccinated. How small? Less than 14% of our population have received shot # 1. Plus, we have thousands of vulnerable seniors who want and need vaccinations have not received them. Why? Ask Jan Malcom or Taxing Timmy. Two key players in the Keystone Cops, who are managing this program.

I can't let this go without addressing Slo Joe's messy fingers which are also into the pie. Equity. Underserved. Blah, blah, blah. We can stratify our population into so many levels, that pretty soon, nobody will get anything. Wait a minute Bird! Are you saying only certain people should qualify to get a shot? I am saying EVERYONE who wants one, should have received one by now. If Israel can do it, so can Minnesota.

One more thing as long as I am ranting. Ms. Nancy and Chuckie. The next stimulus bill. The one which so many younger folks who are not making very much money, who have been impacted by government shutdowns, really need right now. Where is it? Tied up in the Senate because of all the CRAP that Nancy and Chuck put in the bill besides Covid relief items. That bill should have been signed into law during Slo Joe's first week. But no - because it is a "porkulus" bill, it might never get signed. 

Things would sure run nicely if government could keep their messy hands off of things. The Covid vaccine program should have been run by an organization like Mayo Clinic. They would have done a much better job. But we are where we are, and Easter is just over a month away. A normal Easter like years past? Or a Zoom holiday like Thanksgiving and Christmas? At this point in time, I vote for Zoom.
