Its as if the US is half-asleep. Its unable to rouse itself, even in a crisis. Tranquilized. Opiated.

Governors are being WAY too precious about who gets this vaccine and were going to end up with millions of doses of expired vaccines if states dont get serious about getting this out the door.

Some of it is abdication of responsibility by the executive. Some of it is a health system thats been so stretched that it hasnt had capacity to plan a vaccination program. But theres something else. Indifference. Helplessness

Edit to add most medical people here have not even been offered. The nursing homes are on standby. Walgreens here is not getting the shipments needed to do what they expected to do.

1. Would the States be in the same shape?
2. Would they have somehow miraculously come up with a solution out of the blue?
3. Would they have been successful in the distribution of the vaccine because they received the logistical and financial aid they should have already received from the federal government? 🤔
