      So folks, seems I’ve become an inadvertent part of a Twitter kerfuffle I had no part in starting or framing. I muted *all* the conversations (it was overwhelming and again it wasn’t my argument!) But see below for timeline of what’s happening on the substantive topic itself. https://twitter.com/VaccineJo/status/1340382536346714112 …

      Of course, vaccine prioritization is important & the public should participate in and feel comfortable with the process. For example Stanford blamed the “algorithm” for why administrators got the vaccine before frontline healthcare workers. “Algorithm ate the vaccine” won’t fly.https://twitter.com/CarolineYLChen/status/1340046920631394310 …

      NEW: Stanford used an algorithm to decide who got the #COVID #vaccine first, and the result was only 7 of the first 5,000 slots went to residents... the same week they were asked to volunteer for ICU coverage in anticipation of a surge in COVID-19 cases. https://www.propublica.org/article/only-seven-of-stanfords-first-5-000-vaccines-were-designated-for-medical-residents … pic.twitter.com/gr5CaPoV7G

          It says a lot about the objectivity of algorithms. How are credit scores generated? Does Donald Trump have a good credit score?

          Algorithms that are not self learning are only as good as the human who wrote the code. Just ‘coz you are a hospital based in Palo Alto you cannot use fancy technology words to get away. They could have as well rolled the dice as in the movie contagion and gotten better results

          Why would anyone need an algorithm to draw up a priority list in the first place?

          Why are we even discussing this instead of why the rollout is so painfully slow?

          i read https://coronavirus.medium.com/what-about-just-one-dose-of-the-pfizer-vaccine-996e2b74946f?gi=sd … and it makes sense... in a trial... half the subjects got a placebo.. we should find out how two half doses work.. a half then a full... then after reveal dose all the subjects up

          That residents had to ask to be included in the discussion, and probably still aren't as Stanford "adjusts its algorithm," is disgustingly bad management.
