Couldn’t Trump have enacted the Defense Act in order to produce more vaccines by taking the “recipe’ away from Moderna or Pfizer and giving it to every pharmaceutical company with the orders to produce enough of this stuff so we can vaccinate all of America by the end of February?  I am legitimately asking this question as I really don’t know the answer but I would think that would get the US economy up and running much quicker which is good for everybody.

As I understand it, the real IP is in the nanoparticles that package the mRNA for delivery...
The mRNAÂ just codes a slightly modified spike protein...(proline stabilized, developed by a UT-Austin lab)Â

I am not sure that there is much untapped production capacity, but if it can be demonstrated that there is, somebody better explain why it is not being used to pump out vax.Â

Maybe it was in your delivery rather than the content.
Maybe it was the poster and not really the delivery nor the content.Â

I agree with leveraging the private sector. That's why the defense production act exists.
We're talking about putting shots in arms. I have no problem with invoking the DPA if needed, but you don't have to do that to mobilize the resources necessary here. Suggesting that the roll out in Texas would be better managed and more efficient if HHSC turned the job over to HEB is apparently a BOTH SIDES! thing though.  Â

H-E-B would never do that.Â

@Anastasis would brisket trimmings work? Seems like you cook those fairly often.
I think so. Next batch might be 50/50 with brisket for something different.Â

H-E-B actually has most of the infrastructure in place, including immunization certified pharmacists. Why wouldn’t you leverage the private sector? No no no. What we need is more bureaucrats involved cause that is what it takes to deliver that vax into arms.Â

Looking good.Â

Its easy to say that HEB should handle the providing all of the vaccines but has anyone asked them if they are prepared for it. they have to be ready for:
- lines of people
- a place for each patient to sit for 15 minutes while still practicing social distancing
- the ability to handle an adverse reaction
- educate patients on what to expect with potential side effects
- Educate and encourage them to return for second shot
- record keeping of who gets the vaccine
- train their staff for all of the aboveÂ
all while heb will still want normal grocery and pharmacy operations to continue. Obviously heb and the other pharmacy chains will be giving out the vaccine but it’s a lot to put this 100% on them today.
This was a job for the govt to handle and they seem to have washed their hands of it.
I’ll take my chances with H-E-B.Â

I saw someone on Twitter earlier say we ought to let HEB distribute them.
That's if they are open.

From the LA Times today re: the covid surge.
There are like 7 beds available in a county of 10 million+ and if you drive around, you'd think its a normal Wednesday in December.Â

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk

I agree with your earlier point. At least wrt the moderna vax, this is was developed with public funding. Individual institutions should not be creating additional barriers to vaccination. HEB wouldn't act like assholes.Â
