      Wait, what? WTF, @MayorMikeDuggan? The “best” #CovidVaccine is the one you can get in your arm. You just denied life-saving craziness to over 6K Detroiters for no good reason.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/JennSchanzWXYZ/status/1367779901928005633 …

      THIS MORNING: @MayorMikeDuggan turns down 6,200 doses of J&J vaccine. "Johnson & Johnson is a very good vaccine. Moderna and Pfizer are the best." Where the doses went instead & the reason behind the decision ahead at 5:30 💉 Plus, a response from MDHHS @wxyzdetroit pic.twitter.com/vkPb7hZWWD

      Seriously, @MayorMikeDuggan, this is a HORRIBLE decision. The J&J vaccine is "one and done" in that it only requires one dose and its effectiveness at preventing serious disease and death is in the same ballpark as the Pfizer and Moderna #covidvacccine.

      Why would you deny such a vaccine to Detroiters, given how many live in poverty and could have difficulty coming back for a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna #covidvacccine?

      This is the first example I've seen of a politician doing a "get only the best" schtick over the J&J vaccine. I'm just sad that it's @MayorMikeDuggan in my hometown of Detroit, where I was born and where I still work.

          That's crazy, if true presumably the Michigan Governor can override such a terrible decision?
