Great.  The same people who couldn't get water to the superdome will be doing vaccinations.

Won't be an alternative plan till the Astra Zeneca vaccine gets approved.

I will assume that FEMA has gotten some of their shit together since then but government agencies rarely do anything well. I think FEMA would be helpful in supporting local authorities with the vaccine distribution.

FFS, it's something, and more than they were doing.

My sister's friend just died from a heart attack. He went to the hospital and they froze him and brought him back out of coma. The hospital now is claiming he died from Covid and he doesn't have it. The nurse said they get $70,000 from the government for saying that. She also said they had someone die from a gun shot wound and changed it to Covid.

@fishbulb have you seen this happening at all?

"The government shouldn't do it! They're inefficient!"

"Then who should?"

" ... " or "[insert joke here]"

Nope. Sounds suspicious at best. We certainly don't seem to be doing that. Honestly, we're going out of our way to make sure people aren't being categorized as COVID at this point, as some positive tests aren't accurate indicators of a patient being infectious.

Sorry to hear of their loss.

Let's give them the benefit of the doubt...!

Who should distribute the vaccine if not the government?

Anyone competent to do so.

Pharmacies, Physicians, Clinics, etc.

And who distributes the vaccines to the tens of thousands of pharmacies, physicians, clinics, etc. around the country?

Wholesale distributor that does that all the time would work

[Jay]

In some states like California where it is literally a fucking disaster I can maybe see FEMA playing a role.

 

[RallyMo]

IDGAF who does it, it just needs to be done.

How does the government keep track of who has received the vaccine?

I had them put a chip in my arm that broadcasts my location and vaccine status.

With that said, I have them totally double crossed here.

I have an app on my phone that blocks the chip's transmissions as long as it's close by.

Haha, suckers can't track me.

 

[Jay]

The fact that two doses are required really complicates things.

I'm just asking because if I'm going to need a "vaccine card" to get on a plane in the future I want to know how I can prove I've been injected. Is everyone at the Latrine getting some sort of receipt that can't be counterfeit?
