a quantum leap of logic to at least raise this question.

10. WSJ: Florida's Covid-19 Vaccines Draw Foreigners, Snowbirds

https://www.wsj.com/articles/floridas-covid-19-vaccines-draw-foreigners-snowbirds-11610620200

MIAMI—Visitors from Toronto to New York to Buenos Aires have long flocked to Florida for sun, surf and shopping. Now they are coming for the Covid-19 vaccine.

Some of the arrivals are Americans or foreigners who own second homes in the state and reside here part-time. Others are making short-term visits, seizing the opportunity provided by Florida’s decision to make the vaccine available to people age 65 and older, including nonresidents.

Looks like those vaccines withheld from California last month wound up in Trump's back yard. Gee how did that happen?

11. Meanwhile, us Floridians don't get enough vaccine.

[Mariana]

13. I hope your fellow residents will remember this come next election time. nt.

[patricia92243]

18. They won't - unfortunately.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. How accurate is this report?

A week or so ago I saw footage of elderly Floridians waiting in long lines to get the vaccine, often for hours and hours, and often without getting the vaccine.

So why am I skeptical of this report? Especially given the limited doses available? And how will these people all get their second vaccine? They do understand they need a second one, right? And they likewise understand that the vaccine isn't something that keeps them from getting Covid19, but rather makes the symptoms a lot less, right? Oh, they don't get it? Never mind.

14. Rich people can afford to travel to Florida twice. nt.

[Hugin]

15. We've got the Pro, now what was the Quid?

DeSatan fighting extradition of the Tangeranus and the Children-of-Skidmark to New York?
American Bin Laden setting up a 'government in exile' in FL?

Money? Well, it's always about the grift...

I knew something was up when during the (his second) Impeachment the seditious pretenders kept calling The Loaf of the Flies "DJT a man from FL". WTF? He's only from FL on paper so far.

I guess we'll see. Foolish people flying and spending thousands to get maybe one shot, which will assuredly need a booster in 5 or 6 months and only confers a partial immunity at best. At which time the process for vaccinations will be much more regulated. I'm hoping questions will be asked.

16. The local residents who are over 65 and have high risks can't get the shot.

Are DeathSentence and the mayors selling this to the rich, because the people in the state aren't being able to get the shots. My sister is high risk and 66 and she's called daily for 2 weeks and every day there are no new appointments available. Think they are just giving them to their friends and regular people are left at risk.

I so hope Biden nationalities this and takes the murdering repug gov/mayors out of the planning and responsibility. I had the virus, so now most likely have the antibodies so am not in a rush to get the shot just yet - I can wait. People like my sister can't and I'm really angry at what our state/city are doing and not doing.
