This overly bureaucratic prioritization, and the outrage over a few undeserving people cutting ahead (which I don't support but the harm is much less than all this) will likely do more damage to those in high-risk categories than the actual cutting in line.

This is the final, terrible mistake of our pandemic policy, and we're going to regret this one the most, probably. And most of our mistakes go back to the same problem: not trusting people and being bureaucratic, narrow-minded, slow to react rather than proactive and fast.

Rough tracking: we vaccinated around 200,000 people yesterday. We have more than that many *confirmed cases* each day—and that's an under count. Probably ~one million new infections per day. We reportedly have ~40 million vaccines sitting around in freezers! This is a travesty.

Right now, all the "X vaccinated the wrong people" outrage is directly contributing to terrible outcomes. The misguided outrage—outdoors, people with masks under their noses, beaches, etc.—has been the bane of our response this pandemic.

It's not like someone getting a vaccine out of turn doesn't provide an anciliary benefit. That person could have ended up being a super preader in 3 weeks. The goal should be shots in arms as fast as possible... whoever they may be.

A persistent problem with our welfare state too. People are so afraid someone might get something they don't deserve many people who need help don't get it.

Libs love to deploy this criticism at Republicans in red states, and its true, but are just as guilty of it with things like this. I think people saw the algorithm fiasco at Stanford and have completely overcorrected.

Yes, and for individuals - don’t worry about cutting. Every time a person gets the vaccine it’s a benefit to you!
