Cuomo's extremely slow action on rolling out the vaccines. New York is currently ranked 28th for its distribution of the vaccine. It's appalling.
One main difference that I've seen during all of this is that states like NY and CA see their elderly and disabled citizens as expendable, while states like Florida, who have done a great job vaccinating their populations (the media will not give Florida credit), value those citizens. This divide cannot be more clear.
There is an article in the Detroit Free Press which states many frontline workers are declining the vaccine. This was also stated:
"Launching mass vaccinations over the December holiday season created delays with some individuals intentionally delaying vaccines for themselves until after the holidays and clinics not being operational due to the holidays," said Bob Wheaton, a spokesperson for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. "Although it was appropriate to start vaccinations as soon as the vaccine was available, it has caused the rollout to be slower."
Overall, I think things will be moving forward exponentially faster in a pretty brief length of time.
I’m in a slower state too, and I’m wildly eager to be vaccinated.
Even mismanagement during this horrific situation was slow to “trickle down”.
As actual FACTS emerge from this swamp of distrust and rumor, I will no doubt change my opinion, but for me, FACT FIRST.
