I think they’re being super conservative about the vaccine availability, to temper expectations. I’ve heard of employees who are admin and not in the ER or wards getting jabbed.

I'm sure that happens. Long before we shipped all health departments and hospitals were asking if they could move onto their lower risk employees after their high risk were done.

The answer was, "No, you need to offer this vaccine to high risk healthcare providers who don't work for you."

I'm totally sure that's what they're doing.

If this is what you do, you should probably look into that.

I'm pretty sure that I'll have the authority to make them sign a Provider Improvement Plan after we're allowed to visit them in person and review their records.

Sounds like you’re all over it.

No one's on anything. Don't mistake my knowledge for any sort of authority.

so once these vials are sent to medical facilities, that's when the oversight ends?

mmmmmm .... that's an oversimplification, but it's close. At least with respect to adherence to the tiers.

I don't suspect that Dr. John's kid is getting the vaccine, but they're are surely being liberal with their definition of high-risk healthcare providers.

yeah this is concerning. hopefully enough vaccine can be produced to render these concerns mostly moot.

I could be wrong. I just got asked to define an "invasive dental procedure." Fuck if I know, but someone was reading that prioritization document VERY closely.

I think line cutting stories are good. We need to create a real feeling of scarcity. Think Air Jordan release or Supreme. People will take this thing if they think they are missing out.

Verb has a point.

My condolences wease. Be well.

CDC sponsored genocide.

[simple schoolboy]

The elderly are just in 2nd place for priority, behind healthcare workers, so it could be worse. That they think its reasonable to share this as the justification for it is whats troubling. There are far better arguments for why they did what they did.

People with pre-existing conditions also shouldn't be too heavily favored for the vaccine because their diagnosis is evidence that they have access to healthcare, and therefore have privilege.

I hope this is sarcastic?

[surfndestroy]

Those are chilling responses from CDC staff.

I suppose the privilege part is a bit editorial, but uh...

So wait, the CDC is the one government agency that’s not systemically racist? I’m not buying it.

It's a good thing your grandma died, for racial equity.

[spike]

this is why having too many tiers isn't going to work; creates too many valid but conflicting ethical viewpoints that are impossible to reconcile.

they'll have to open the vax up to everyone a lot sooner than initially expected.

Black grandmas first

[epilogue]

I've been staying out of most of N&D lately, so I just saw your post, wease.

I'm so, so sorry. My condolences. Love you, friend.

Well, looks like when the government controls healthcare there are race-based death panels after all.
