NEW ADVICE: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted earlier this week that about 20 million people 75 and older and about 30 million front-line workers like firefighters, teachers and grocery store workers should be next in line for the shots
* The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted earlier this week that people 75 and older and some front-line workers should be vaccinated next
* That advice is different to the preliminary guidelines it issued at the beginning of the month that sparked outrage and fierce debate among some
* The preliminary advice had suggested all non-healthcare essential workers, totaling about 85 million people, should be prioritized over the elderly
* That recommendation was made, in part, because racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately represented in many essential industries
* It prompted a heated debate among health experts with some arguing that people would die unnecessarily if age wasn't considered ahead of racial equity
A CDC advisory panel has changed its recommendations to prioritize those aged over 75 in the next stage of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution after facing backlash for suggesting essential workers, who are more proportionally black or Hispanic, should be vaccinated before the elderly.

Update: How the Centers for Disease Control Went Woke (Washington Free Beacon)
WNU Editor: The people who are dying from this disease are primarily the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. They and frontline health workers should be the priority. It makes no sense to me to vaccinate someone who is in their 20s or 30s because of their ethnic background, and who has an incredibly low probabilty of succumbing to this coronavirus.
I'm worried that "priority first" vaccinations is going to string the process out forever. It should be priority+. the willing. It's not like there's a shortage of doses out there, lets get this thing moving along as quickly as possible, if people want to drag their heels then they can wait for the next batch which I'm sure will be coming along shortly.
ReplyDeleteWe will hit the inflection point before the 3rd week of February even with brutally cold weather. We might hit between now and the end of the 2nd week of January between herd immunity, vaccinations and just a lack of victims.
ReplyDeleteIt is harder to tell how much the virus is spreading in Nursing homes, because dumbass governors like Wolf and Cuomo did not test patients being entered into nursing homes.
Joe Bite Me Tells Trump to Sign COVID Bill and Send Money to Foreign Nations
ReplyDeleteBecause we need to send

$ 700 million to Sudan

People are hurting and that rat bastard Pelosi could not send up a clean bill. She had to do log rolling to end all log rolling.
Pelosi of the $40,000 ice cream refrigerators wasted
1/2 of March,
April

June,
July,
August,
September,
October,
November and
most of December before she rolled The Turtle.
But Nancy Pelosi is not hurting. Nah, she is eating all that ice cream. She has some humongous boobs on her. They are bigger than they were, when she was 40. We are not talking gravity here. That is understandable. No, this gal is pigging out on ice cream and it shows. That gal has to be pre-diabetic. Just look at the size off her. If she gets COVID, she will be in dire straights with all that blubber.
Being overweight increases your cancer risk. I am surprised that her radiologist does not look at her chart and immediately counsel her about treatment. With that much fat, she must be riddled with cancer. Her x rays must be lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Statistically speaking then, bigger animals, which have more cells, should have greater occurrences of cancer. By that reasoning, elephants, with hundreds of times more cells than smaller mammals,..."

I hope Miss Pelosi keeps pigging out on ice cream. Maybe she needs a 3rd $40,000 refrigerator for her ice cream.

ReplyDeleteThe U.S. was supposed to be equipped to handle a pandemic. So what went wrong
Obama ran down the stocks of equipment. The the CDC was busy scolding people for being fat for decades instead of dealing with respiratory diseases. People got fatter during those decades, so the CDC must be promoting it. There is an obvious correlation. The more the CDC whinges about fat people, the more fat people there are. The pandemic was so severe that Dr Birx said one thing (Don't travel on Thanksgiving) and then did the exact opposite. Some pandemic.
ReplyDeleteYou are going round robin with your questions. As soon as you are beaten at one point, you move on only to come back to it later.
My mother is 5/6ths your age and can sub at a high school every day for a semester. Here you are hiding behind your moat. Not manly at all. You are a wuss.
Making fun of weight in Peolosi is plain silly if you ignore the fat guy that is the president. He is bloated and all tummy and fat fat fat
ReplyDeleteBut focus on Pelosi because you can not deal with women

ReplyDeleteWhat is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
You guys, liberals, Leftists, and libturds started in on Trump's weight and their faux concern 4 years ago.
"Trump and Clinton offer peek into medical files"
"David Plouffe, President Barack Obama’s former campaign manager, also got in the game, going on the Sunday shows to question whether Trump’s weight is an issue of national concern."
You started it, we are finishing it.
Trump can stand for hours on end giving a speech. If you ever stood in a military formation, which you haven't, because you are a pud, you would know that it takes good stamina to manage it.
The problem with Pelosi is that her weight gain is accelerating. I mentioned it, because her latest picture was quite striking with her large melons. Looking back at her older pictures they just were not prominent. That gal is going to have severe back pain, if she does not have it already. She is a good candidate for breast reduction to improve her poor quality of life.
11:19 ran away like a coward.
