18. The vaccine roll out here in Pa. IS a joke.

Thu Feb 4, 2021, 10:20 AM

Feb 2021

I registered on line and never heard back so I called. I guess their web site crashed since they had 12,000 people register for 2,000 doses of vaccine. Good thing I called because I had to register again. I am taking it in stride since the new vaccines do better with the new variants. Wife and I will continue to wear masks and social distance and wash our hands. Sometimes good things happen to those who wait.

Did they ever find the 20 million missing doses of vaccine? Did anyone think to ask Jared?

Oh, and the argument over giving money to people making 100k, I don't make that but I am frugal, so when I got my last stimulus check we gave it to charity. It is the millionaires who hoard their money not people making 100k, that argument is never made.
