I cant believe DC wants to be a state and can't organize the distribution of vaccines to 700,000 residents in a transparent, organized fashion.

Oh stop. DC has done a great job with the pandemic overall and is doing better than almost every other state at vaccinating per capita.

If that’s the bar to reach for being a state, most states would fail. In fact, this whole country would fail at being a state.

DC Gov has tremendous resources they can tap. Our number of residents, infrastructure and geographical span (compared to a state like Alaska flyiing our personnel and supplies to administer to isolated NA communities) makes "the bar" so much lower and so much more manageable. Please spare me the glowing comparisons to the 50 states.

Which state is doing a better job at organizing the distribution in a transparent and effective fashion, exactly? The whole thing is a mess everywhere. Mostly because the supply is too low, which is the federal government's problem, not any individual state (or city)'s.

Feel free to move. My friends in Md and Va are envious of DC's extensive testing operation.

So because we aren't doing as badly as our neighboring states, we shouldn't set the bar as high as possible? We shouldn't question ANYTHING? We should be DC boosters or move? Besides the breathtaking arrogance of demanding a DC resident (born here) move, your desire that people silence themselves in relation to civic operations is kind of heavy handed.

PP said that DC shouldn't be a state because they're "only" doing better than 47 other states at distributing the vaccine. I personally am finding the distribution of vaccine in DC to pretty organized, all things considered. I am getting weekly updates and I know exactly how many appointments are available and where. I am having a very difficult time trying to navigate the Md "system" for my parents.

Vast resources. 710,000 residents. Condensed geography. DC should be the model, not "pretty anything".

OK, yes, you're right: Alaska, West Virginia, Connecticut, New Mexico and North Dakota are doing better. Those are the only states that are. So why should D.C.'s vaccination program be disqualifying for statehood?

A city as small as ours, with the obvious existing demand, should not end up with doses going to seniors "hanging around a Giant " at the end of the day. And no I dont want them wasted. But they should have better systems in place to make sure it doesnt come to that. Just one example.

DC has been vaccinating our emergency personnel, health care workers and now DCPS teachers without regard to where they actually live. So those of you in surrounding suburbs (or PA for many firemen) you are welcome. We are happy to have them go first before actual residents of DC and share our limited vaccines with your residents.

I agree it makes sense to vaccinate people who work in the district. However, the home address should be noted and there should be reciprocity.
