I don’t think anyone knows, but I did some math.
The population of Florida is 18,801,310, and 20.9% are aged 65+, which would be 3,929,473.

Now, how many doses have been shipped to Florida? I don’t know but doubt it’s 4 million doses. And that’s only for the first round of shots, as you have to get two shots, right?

So, my guess would be “don’t hold your breath”.

To see an ex official/President of the VHA, a Commissioner who was thrown out by the voters in the last election, and others associated with some political organization or connections which gave them the political power to throw medical workers and elderly in assisted living out of the high risk line so they could "jump in". It is both outrages and disgusting. All of this provides a good idea of the morals and ethics of the groups they have been in and are/were representative of. The next step is for them to continue to disrespect all the residents and, rely that the people will forget this act of disrespect and continue to use the same ethics and moral standards in the future.

Pfizer/BioNTech Covid vaccine Germany shipping China 100 million doses in January and February to China. vaccine Chinese workers sent to Africa, they tested positive for virus. If you want to know what’s really going on with China visit NTD china in focus on utube. China boosted they had the first vaccine (course untested) I’m sure 100 million Pfizer doses are for CCP not the general population.

Guess there is value in being a puppet. Wonder how anyone can justify him getting vaccine.

FYI: The Villages VA clinic will receive the vaccine this week for their staff. It's good to hear that the veterans aren't being forgotten. It will just be a matter of time, as they roll out more vaccines doses before the VA clinic patients also get their vaccinations.

It is just as disgusting and outrages that more are not upset with this demonstration of corruption in their own back yard! Just to identify more, how many read about this in the Daily Sun? Another cover up of the behavior by Officials bold enough to even have their
picture taken showing their ability to shove health care workers and assisted living elderly aside and grabbing the vaccine for themselves. What is the definition of corruption? "illegal, BAD, or dishonest behavior especially by people in positions of power". Sound familiar?

I’m wondering if they are trying to convince everyone that the vaccine is safe, so used people they knew would “volunteer” for the PR / demonstration.

My granddaughter is on the nursing team at Villages Hospital. Yesterday, I asked her when she will get the vaccine. She said they only received enough for the Covid floor staff and then they ran out. So why was there enough for a "demonstration" during Desantis' visit? (rhetorical question)

I would have volunteered if given the chance.

What message does it send when they openly publicize the dastardly act they participated in?

According to the hospital information up north at my wife's system, stage 1 is going to hospitals and healthcare providers, so the vaccines will be given in the hospitals. She will qualify in a later stage 1 rollout. Stage two are essential workers and elderly, however, the distribution process is unclear at this time. I may qualify under essential workers, if I can find my company badge somewhere in the house. . . hoping to begin in february. . . That may be distributed through the pharmacies, but again, its unclear as to the distribution process.

So just be patient and the planning will be announced through state public health offices, as those are the people in charge of distribution in each state.

And because the vaccine is entirely genetically manufactured, and not like the original/old style vaccines of degraded live viruses, there is zero chance of getting covid, but there is a risk of a reaction. . .

I just talked to a friend who lives in Seminole County. She signed up on her county website and is getting the Moderna vaccine next week. I'm thinking some counties have fewer residents but got more vaccines than needed for healthcare workers. She said the slots were filled in 4 hours. Looked on Sumter county website and found nothing.
