When will the SIP end?

i asked you to set a line and you wanted me to define the word "widely", so i used the dictionary. you should try that some time.

the details you're bidding is kind of the funny part of this mental masturbation exercise of yours. availability and adoption are not the same, now are they? in reality, widely available is probably 10% the total population. people aren't stampeding over each other to be the first set of lab rats... lol

also, why would i sign up for the vaccine? i'm immune already... lol

Because your definition is blatant bullshit and this is what you do

the details are what's important

just because 10/100/1000/1,000,000 vaccinations are available in a state of 30M people doesn't fuckall mean it's widely available.

Widely available says they have enough inventory that anyone can get vaccinated whenever they want

yes it does as long as the supply is greater than the demand... these aren't forced vaccinations... the fact that you think 100% of the population will be lined up for the vaccine is kind of hilarious. ask your friends, they aren't volunteering to be guinea pigs.
 
again since you choose to ignore the important line

lets level out here, how many flu vaccines are given (not produced/procured) per year and over how much time?
 
$100 to barf if anyone in this thread can get a vaccine by Jan 15

(excluding the good Drs and actual frontline healthcare workers since they are prioritized). EDIT: If Bo can get the vaccine, I'll do $50. I'm on the fence I where I classify him right now. Sorry Bo, you just aren't worth as much... :teeth

Hell I'll extend it to this whole forum.

you can't be a priority classification. (gov, ltac, healthcare etc)

i didn't know that Pfizer and Moderna were making the vaccines in China...
You're the one touting American Enginuity.

Now you're saying that companies couldn't ramp up and produce PPE and masks?

BTW, mask and PPE production is significantly less involved than making a vaccine. So, ramping up and producing masks and PPE should be an easier thing to ramp up, especially with a bunch of people out of work.

It may be a generational thing dale. I have not met anyone in my circle (meat space, family, etc) who doesn't want the vaccine. I even have a friend in clinical trials. I agree 100% of the population may not want the vaccine but an enormous number will.


Just a funny little fact: back in the '90s I managed a boutique wrecking yard. Most of our employees were from Mexico or Guatemala. One of my customers was an outreach nurse who happened to be involved in the mobil vaccination program. We arranged a voluntary vaccination clinic. Every single employee, their spouses, and their children jumped at the chance to get vaccinated. I think this fear of vaccination fueled by conspiracy theory is unique to the Western World. :dunno

I've helped run vaccine clinics in many dirt holes of the world. We did a "show the flag" tour around South America where we partnered with local health care to provide vaccines.

Never have enough to go around. Every stop had to turn people away.

:laughing what's the relevance of your comparison again?
 
According to Perna, the government expects to be able to ship the Pfizer vaccine to all state-designated distribution centers in as soon as three weeks. By the end of the year, he said, he expects there will be enough shipments to give 20 million people two doses of the vaccine.

widely available

5.7% of the population :laughing
 
there are 60k members, just need 1 to get it

didn't think you would take a realistic offer either :thumbup

we have a word for people like this
