"SNIP.....

“Amid Michigan’s worst-in-the-nation coronavirus surge, scientists and public health officials are urging the Biden administration to flood the state with additional vaccine doses,” Stat News reports.

“So far, though, their plea has fallen on deaf ears. Instead, the federal government is sticking to a vaccine-allocation strategy that largely awards doses to states and territories based on their population.”

1. Ontario is giving out vaccines all across the province but with special

interest and focus on areas with higher infection rates... right down to postal code. Is not the US awash in doses with States not claiming all their quota?

2. Population based allocation is the fairest.

Get your people under control with masking, restrictions, etc. until they can get their vaccine.

[FreeState]

6. Agreed

And in my probably unpopular opinion it should be that way world wide. It’s crazy to me that we are at 45% and most of Europe is way less (5-10%) because they simply can’t get the vaccines.

3. State officials can't make ppl take a vaccine. Why risk wasting it??!!

4. No shit! Biden's done everything in his power, in only 12 weeks in Office.

There's only so much to lay at his feet after that.
'It's a hoax!, We're not wearing a mask!, The vaccine will kill you!, We're not getting vaccinated!"

Start there, maybe.

OH WAIT!
