I have four parents, all over the age of 75. Randomly, three of them, in two different cities, got their first dose of COVID vaccine today. My father who has NOT received a vaccine is my parent at highest risk. He is incarcerated.

Honestly those vaccines need to go to the elderly who’ve led a good, honest life before they go to anyone who’s committed multiple felonies or murders. I’m glad your dad is waiting in line.

Let he who is without sin withhold the vaccine.

Quantities are limited. Vaccines are being withheld from people, that’s just the reality based on supply. The question at hand is who should be at the front of the line, the middle and the back. Lawmakers in California want prisoners near the front. I vehemently disagree w that

You vaccinate in order of risk because that is the way to minimize deaths and disabilities. I have a problem with the idea that inmate lives ought to be sacrificed to protect people at less risk.

Hope you don't get downgraded from a full human being and have somebody decide you don't deserve health care.

Mark, one vaccine on the table, who gets it? 80 year old woman, or 40 year old prisoner? That’s the conundrum being discussed. Not a denial of care. California legislators lobbied for prison populations to be ahead of regular citizens in line, right behind the health care workers

Why not make it two doses? We have the resources. Anyway, maybe they don't want the state's prisons to become disease incubators and pose a threat to people on the outside.

That’s the whole conundrum. We don’t have 2 doses. California’s first shipment was 300,000 doses. In a state of 40,000,000. Decisions had to be made on who would receive first.
