    Let me quote myself and point out the very real possibility that a significant fraction of Trump's base will no doubt see Lady Lindsey and Little Marco getting their shots, and instead of deciding "hey, maybe I *will* get the vaccine" they'll probably just default to "deep state, drain the swamp, we could never trust those guys".

    So, that's a counterpoint I didn't really think through.

    That's why the vaccination strategy can't get all tied up trying to cater to these people. Stick to the plan based on risk and role. Take your selfie and post it on the twatters occupying your rightful place in line. If people don't want to get their shots, fuck 'em.  We have a limited supply anyways. Once we hit up all the people who are ready to roll in the right order based on risk profile, we circle back and put the press on the others.  Many of the vax hesitant folks have reasonable concerns, those people can be reached. The microchip people are a lost cause.

    IF we get to a point where we have an oversupply of vaccines that certain groups refuse to take, THEN I think we can worry about marketing to those people.  We aren't there yet.

    When we get to essential workers, maybe then the politicians can get in line.

    What you don't get is that Anastasis wanted to argue about something

    We’ll that’s true. But I think that politicians cutting the line when there are limited vax resources and we haven’t yet hit the highest risk populations or even gotten to non hc essential workers is a good thing to argue about.

    Can we start paying elected leaders serious money, so that we can stop having fucking retards like fitlump represent people?

    It's hard to imagine the world where throwing more money at them is the right solution.

     

    I mean, I totally get and agree with the notion that we are punching down selectively, but think maybe we need a more sophisticated approach to right the problem. 

  5. Pretty funny watching you guys trip over yourselves one way and the other based on which politicians are getting their shots. 

     

    Look guys, there is a protocol.  There are priorities. If you want to talk public health response happy to do so.  Just try to find your consistency.

    Simply from an economics standpoint, I'd much rather see a photo op with one of them getting vaccinated, with AOC and her mask standing by.  Win win.

    There are a zillion ways to have publicized getting the vaccine which would have allowed politicians to put "working people and people at risk" first. 

    Of course, but then they don't get to skip the line in front of everyone else.  

    Shocked.  Not Shocked that some of the posters here turn their head selectively deflecting with various ad hominems. 

    And AOC isn't even close to the worst example.  Just the one that certain posters find some reason to rally behind.

    Health care workers first

    Govt. front line second

    Food service third

    The guys that have been packing my curbside orders are more essential than the DC politicians. 

    Crazy talk, I know.

    Look Ana, you’ve still got a long way to go to reach Jonny Sack status. I guess what I’m saying is, keep drinking.

    I am sorry that your brain is so irreparably damaged that you don't realize that giving health 30 years old a C19 vaccine before we've covered the actual at risk population is indefensible.

    every NFL and NBA player should be on the local news getting one and the sooner the better. misinformation and FUD about the vaccine are going to be corona's biggest friend shortly, and combatting that is going to be a huge task.

    Of course, if addressing health disparities was as simple as sticking a needle in the arms of a couple basketball players things would be a lot easier.

    I just want the people who actively downplayed the virus and/or vaccines to never get it.  Is that too much to ask?

    Unfortunately population health doesn’t have a righteous sense of justice.
