Of course. You've just shown how people do get free health care in this country. Contrary to what some people believe we don't turn anyone away.

Did you catch the head medicos let the politicians step up to the Pfizer vac while they will get Moderna today?I don’t have a good source for worldwide. I bookmarked the CDC site that’s tracking the US vaccinations. It seems to be updated daily at some point in the day. I imagine worldwide will grow a lot now that EU approved Pfizer and Moderna is starting to flow out to other places. Should be into the 10s of millions by year end

That wasn't the claim. It was a question in response to an article about LA county.

Based on the results from the trials, your tin foil hat is exactly that.

There was a single-day record number of deaths reported today in Wisconsin.

Spreading the wealth around. The big wigs went first...the underlings went second. They probably wanted to have some high profile people wait for Moderna.
If there was going to be a conspiracy the US Government would likely back Moderna over Pfizer since Moderna actually used Warp Speed and the vaccine was developed here.

Why aren‘t San Diego County hospitals overrun? Lots of hospitals there a whole lot closer to Mexico. LA just isn’t that close. I just saw a news report that said they estimate 1 in 64 citizens in LA county are covid positive right now. That’s far more likely to be the reason for the hospitals being full than Mexicans streaming over the border and flooding the hospitals.
I've been in Los Angeles and have family living in the suburbs. LA has not only covid issues but more victims of violence, abuse etc filling up the hospitals compared to San Diego.

This passed with the bill. Why the heck are they trying to put things like this in it when people are hurting. Wait, don’t answer that.. I know.

Yes, for sure. LA is a major urban center while San Diego is a smaller city and doesn’t have the same demographic breakdown.

Sure. I'm not saying it is the explanation. You succinctly noted that the distance from the border to LA was considerable. There are issues in many other parts of the country (as noted) where obviously it's not the reason. It does seem to be an issue along the Texas-Mexico border so perhaps that's what led to the question about LA. I dunno.
My point was that the original question posed was not what was presented in the subsequent replies.

So....Desantis is holding a presser right now, stating that the CDC guidelines are "just that...only guidelines." Therefore, FL will not be following the recommended vaccine schedule, and will reserve the next level of vaccine allotment ONLY for the elderly. No essential workers.
As someone who's 20 yr old son IS a FT essential grocery store worker, you can imagine my frustration and anger.

Latinos make up about 39% of the population and make up about 58% of the covid cases in Cali according to the last stats I saw. It is affecting Latinos disproportionately in most states. Its not because the travel more or don’t wear masks.

Are the Latinos that make up 39% of the population in LA county coming over the border from Mexico and flooding the hospitals? Aren’t most of them US citizens and/or already living in the US? The original statement was that the problem in LA county was from Mexicans coming over the border flooding Us hospitals.
Right.
And if the premise is true for LA county, then what is the premise for North Dakota running out of hospital space?

I saw Texas is also not following and putting 65+ in the next group instead of 75+. The rollout won’t be even across states.

First: There are TONS of people in LA with Latin American roots.
Second: the reason latinos have a higher rate of transmission is because a lot of them have no choice but to live on top of each other, with multigenerational family members in lower SES communities while working minimum wage frontline jobs because they have been disproportionately affected by the system that doesn't allow them to succeed. But that's not a conversation for here, and frankly its one youre probably not ready to have....

I saw that too. Elderly are far more likely to have negative outcomes. Of course essential workers are probably more likely to encounter individuals with the virus. That's a very difficult choice to make. I can see the rationale for both approaches.
I wonder if the population breakdown comes into play too. Florida has a large percentage of the population that is elderly. That's a lot of people at risk. Not sure about Texas.

If the goal is to save lives and reduce hospital and ICU admission, it’s not a hard choice - vaccinate the elderly and people with significant preexisting conditions. Healthy 20-year-olds are not particularly at risk of adverse outcomes.
