      Red tape and punitive measures isn't how we get access, equity or fairness for vaccines. We should cut down on the bureaucracy—which the more privileged navigate better—and invest in access by *going* where those more vulnerable live and work.

      Also fun. I wrote the piece before president-elect Biden's speech and added "As President-elect Biden noted", "emphasized in his speech on Friday", " emphasized in his speech on Friday" and "Mr. Biden has expressed a commitment" right after the speech and we hit publish. Change!

          zeynep tufekci Retweeted NBC News

          The piece says many hospitals not reporting these incidents of wasted vaccines, and are also afraid to use them because then there is outrage over that. A real harm of our outrage culture and punitive mindset: plus it’s not helping vulnerable or high-risk people. Lose-lose-lose.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1350484734745468932 …

          We're deploying vaccines like we do annual flu shots rather than the mass vaccinations done in Africa & Asia where millions are vaccinated in weeks Years ago, Joe Rhatigan & I studied these campaigns. They offer several lessons that can inform what we need in the US now THREAD

          Definitely! I'm probably more technologically savvy than most, but there was one spot on the sign-up site I used where I was perplexed for several minutes on how to proceed. Answer: I had to scroll *right* to see choices—looks like it was only tested on wider browser windows.

          I have an autoimmune disease, and the vaccine may not be safe for me. I've asked several public health people on here about data being collected, and they've all told me to ask my doctor. I don't *have* a doctor.

          Excellent. An acquaintance of mine is trying to figure out how to get his 96 year old mother to the vaccine center next week. He’s at his wits end.

          Turns out we don't actually need to worry about expanded access or whether or not to reserve the second dose seeing as how the vaccine reserve was already either raided or distributed and none are lefthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/01/15/trump-vaccine-reserve-used-up/ …

          Knox county in TN uses sign up genius website to sign up for vaccines. They force you to use their yahoo based search engine as a requirement to use the enrollment. This is what happens when you run the government like a business.
