I don’t understand how this vaccine is being distributed. I was listening to an epidemiologist last week who to me made a lot of sense. He said the purpose of the vaccine is to stop people from dying and the way the government is going about the distribution is all wrong. He argued that by the end of January there should be fifty million doses available. That is enough to vaccinate all hospital and nursing home staff and patients as well as everyone in the country over sixty five. This would have the biggest impact in lowering the number of deaths from this virus and taking pressure off the hospitals. Once this is accomplished then you start vaccinating the rest of the population from oldest to youngest. This made a lot of sense to me. It seems to me that all the states are doing their own thing and there really is not one specific plan for distribution which makes no sense to me at all.
