Really disappointed in friends getting Covid vaccine

Better to give it to someone than wait around to make sure it's 100% optimal.

Speed >>> everything

They might just be preventing the dose from being tossed. I thought most "line jumpers" were of this category - finding that a pharmacy was running out of time to use some of a batch.

Yeah every level of government screwed up the rollout so badly I applaud anyone who is simply trying to get vaccines into arms ASAP.

You sound like a whiney b!tch

Media is suppressing info of people who get sick/ill, have negative side effects or outright die from the vaccine. Narrative manipulation in full effect, yet they search high and low for sensationalized stories of young people who are hospitalized from covid.

I have seen like 12 articles in the past week about side effects and worry-porn about the vaccines. Stop making up BS about "suppression." Side effects of the virus are >>> more likely than side effects of vaccine :)

So many stupid people. So stupid. Unfortunately no vaccine for that.

Hehe. So the crazed leftist covid cultists are now calling negative effects of vaccine worry porn, while for the past year they've been jamming on the worry porn button about covid.

What a twisted bunch of covidiots.

You won't get an answer wrote:They are finding loopholes to cut the line for the vaccine. Last I checked, there are still plenty of grandmas who have not been vaccinated yet, so what gives?

A friend's roommate did this same thing.

Her dad is a dr and he recorded her as working for him/being in contact with patients. So she was able to drive over 3 states away to get the vaccine early. She's young, healthy, not at risk.

So annoying.

Drive to New Jersey and buy a pack of cigarette on the way. Priority candidate!

Exactly. The more they give out the more protected we all are.

I do know one thing. There is ZERO excuse for a single dose being tossed in the trash and apparently thousands are being tossed as the bureaucrats are following protocol and only giving it to people on the list. If I worked at a hospital and the people there didn't sign up to take it, I'd pust it out on facebook, call friends, etc. But what the OP describing sounds like intentional line cutting.

Yep. Those getting it because there are doses being thrown out, fine and good. I’m talking about people dusting of their old health care cards to cut in line when they don’t work with patients at all and only have to go into an office maybe once a month (not a physicians office, a regular Joe office).

I don’t care one iota. I’m willing to wait until it’s fairly my turn. I just think it’s hypocritical for these people to preach ‘save grandma’ all year and then sprint ahead of her in line.

So go tell them instead of whining on here, coward.

I did. As my username alludes to, I didn’t get an answer.

The young people cutting in line might be doing themselves a disservice. The odds of an adverse reaction are about 1 in 1,000 (6,741 adverse events reported from over 6 million doses as of last Friday) based on data from VAERS (and I would imagine that the risk of an adverse reaction are higher in younger people with more active immune systems than in the elderly). The odds of death from the virus for the 20-29 category is about 1 in 10,000, the odds in the 30-39 category are about 1 in 3,200, and the odds in the 40-49 category are about 1 in 1,000. Some of those adverse immune responses go away quickly, while others can affect them for a lifetime. Better those shots go into the arms of people in the 70-79 age group where the risk of death from COVID (or at least attributed to COVID) are closer to 1 in 40 and the 80+ age group where the risk is about 1 in 12.

How do you know this? You must work for the federal government to give such a response?

Israel is vaccinating at 10x the per capita rate that we are. Doesn't take insider knowledge to figure out there have be major screw ups!
