      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!

      I was just describing how I spent probably 2 hours today trying to get my 84 yr old mom an appt. So frustrated. The form is not user friendly. The site keeps crashing.

      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

          How do you roll out a mass vaccination plan when you don't actually have enough to truly vaccinate on a massive scale? It seems to me so many of the difficulties reported in the US can be traced to searching for some sort of middle ground.

          I believe Biden is going to use the DPA to increase production, allowing for mass vaccinations.

          Jon, not enough federal money and state public health that’s been tapped out for months. And my county was only allocated enough doses to vaccinate about 1/3 of LTC residents +HCW+first responders.

          Do we even have access to enough doses to make this work?

          My nurse friend told me of her friend, a pharmacist, dispatched to a nursing home to give vaccines. Half the staff refused one, they hadn’t secured permissions for all patients and he ended up having to waste 20 vaccines.
