Is there anybody here who thinks that there are any billionaires or multi-millionaire's who wanted the vaccine but haven't gotten it?

What’s the point of being a billionaire if it doesn’t come with some perks.
Anyhow billionaires gonna be billionaireing.

Do you Trust the Covid19 Vaccine ?

I love Dave Chapelle and Joe Rogan and in the end of this show they talk about if they trust the vaccine. Mr Rogan seems to trust it while Mr Chapelle doesn’t. Do you guys trust it and will you take it? I trust the science and the medical experts and will take the vaccine. However, I can understand why Mr Chappelle doesn’t trust it because of the horrifying medical history experienced with African Americans.

By the time they give it to me, I either will or will not trust it. :laughing (my group is way down the list, so most side effects will be well-known by that time.)

The only concern I have is that I have bad allergies (not food-related), but not bad enough to carry an Epi-Pen.

The calculator posted above states:
in California, we think you’re behind 29.6 million others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Santa Clara County, you’re behind 1.3 million others.

I did some quick math...if we want to vaccinate 70% of the roughly 210M adults in the US this year, we have to give shots to a little over 8,000 peeps/per day/per state. Now double that, cuz we need to do it twice. Doesn't seem unattainable, but it feels like a really optimistic goal.
 
UGH

The U.K. has decided to delay administering second doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, sparking controversy among experts, advisors, and vaccine producers. The decision was made as an effort get first doses to more people, as cases continue to rise.

In the U.S., advice to administer two half-doses of vaccines to speed up distribution is being refuted by the FDA
 
Aunt is a nurse in SLO. Gh it vaccine before Christmas. Found out yesterday that she has an active symptomatic case of covid.

Dunno how bad it is.
 
Politicians making medical decisions will never end well.

Agreed

IF we had supply constraint, it would be more acceptable but right now it's an administration issue.

Solve the first problem before we tackle others.

interesting... it is a 2 dose course so I'm hoping the first dose provides her some protection (minimization of severity).

Is she on ivermectin yet?

Sounds about right, they say it’s only 50% efficacy after the first dose. Hope she recovers quickly!

16,000 people per day? Per state?

Well, where I'm at, in Southern California, there's 20 CVS Pharmacies within a 5 mile radius. Not counting Walgreens or Rite Aid or anything else.

800 people per day would be very aggressive.

But 100? 10 per hour? over a 10 hour day? That's no big deal.

So, if we had 160 CVS Pharmacies in California, each doing 100 a day -- aggressive, sure, but not unreasonable with a committed staff and good workflow.

I have no idea how many CVS Pharmacies there are in CA.

So, at least for California, 16,000 a day does not seem unreasonable, as long as they're not all in Blythe.

And CA will need to do a bunch more that 16,000 per day.

Mind, I've seen LASIK done. A single shop can almost do 10 surgeries an hour (yes, it's aggressive and unreasonable). They pile them up in the waiting room, and push them through. The surgeon never leaves his seat.

This is a simple injection. Parallize all of the form filling out and disclaimers up front, and you'd get get a stick every 2m by the nurse, easy. If it was the military, you'd have it done in less than 30s.

Also, back in the day, they used one of those Jet Injector things on us in 4th grade for vaccinations. That was a Bugs Bunny Baseball conga line.

Obviously, they won't use that here.
