That's not news that the one shot vaccine is best suited for communities where a second shot is difficult. I don't know that we needed a specialist to educate us on that

In Oregon you can sign up and get notified when your slot becomes eligible. Then told where to go. Which doesn't stop the I have to go somewhere crowded problem but alleviates the issue of hunting that I see many of my friends having in other states. But rollout is slow here, they estimate that May will be for Fifty year olds. My wife is bummed about that

Scandal in Florida
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1812483.html
Quote:
Wealthy Florida Keys community of governor’s donors received Covid vaccine as rest of state struggled
Over a thousand seniors at the Ocean Reef Club, home to many wealthy Republican donors, received both doses of the vaccine in January.
Quote:
As Covid-19 vaccines were just beginning to trickle into Florida, one group had a substantially higher vaccination rate than the rest of the state: a community in which some of Governor Ron DeSantis’ donors live.
The Ocean Reef Club, an elite private community in Key Largo, managed to vaccinate nearly every senior on its grounds back in January, according to the Miami Herald. The community admitted as much in a January 22 newsletter that the Herald obtained.
Quote:
Baugh said she set up the site at DeSantis’ direction, but the governor has denied any wrongdoing.
Re: Covid-19, Part XI - Rounding Third?
An attempt to create a scandal. And your last quote about Baugh was not in relation to the Ocean Reef community.
Ocean Reef - “This was not a state supported senior community POD [point of distribution], nor was it requested by the governor,’’ Beatrice told the Herald in an email.
In other words it had nothing to do with DeSantis.
The person raising these claims, Nikki Fried intends to run for Governor so she's just muddying the waters.

It’s a scandal no matter how far up it goes. Vaccines going to the wealthy because of their wealth. It should never happen, and it happened more than once in Florida.
If I lived in Florida and had to wait days or weeks to get a vaccine I would be outraged. This should not be acceptable. An investigation should be started and heads should roll, imo.
Re: Covid-19, Part XI - Rounding Third?
This story aside, DeSantis is entering “could shoot a man on 5th Ave and not lose supporters” territory for many on the right. I think he’s going to be our next POTUS.

It's not about wealth but about age. In Florida they're prioritizing age and it'll pay big dividends in terms of deaths in the future

I did. DeSantis is not remotely as toxic as Trump, though, among many other things. If the pandemic had not happened I think Trump would have won re-election easily. It magnified his many flaws significantly.

There’s a reason many journalists are suddenly journaling everything going on in Florida and ignoring the worst states.

Wait until you check out NYC’s vaccine numbers!
Re: Covid-19, Part XI - Rounding Third?
Take it from Todd Gack and me—just wait until you see what the *real* journalists are working on in Adobe After Effects right now.

Aren’t you still waiting on the surprise evidence in the Arbery case as well?
Re: Covid-19, Part XI - Rounding Third?
Please keep this thread to the discussion of COVID-19. If you want to discuss politics-specific ramifications of COVID-19 (e.g. DeSantis' presidential aspirations) please take that discussion to the P/R sub-forum.

Not sure of the connection you're trying to make or how that's relevant to this.
