[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who thinks Governor Hogan is competent when he constantly makes public announcements without informing or discussing them with the people who are supposed to implement them is either stupid or extremely partisan.[/quote]

Every time he announces mass vax sites or changes in closure orders, it's only MoCo leadership that is "shocked and surprised" and needs days and days to review. Other counties seem to manage just fine. How come?[/quote]
because other counties don't worry about equity as much as MoCo does. Other counties are concerned with making sure they vaccinate as many as possible. MoCo leaders are more concerned that certain groups get priority vaccinations, so they have to spend a lot of time reviewing the plan and figuring out how to apply their equity framework to it, all the while other groups sit around waiting to get vaccinated, or they go to the state run sites.[/quote]

This is incorrect. Other counties are also setting aside vaccines for priority groups, but the bigger issue is that the lack of a mass vaccination site makes it really difficult for people, especially vulnerable communities, to access the vaccine.

By putting the vaccine in 100 different pharmacies rather than pharmacies + mass vax site, Hogan ensured that the only folks getting vaccinated in MoCo were either those with the resources to drive 40 miles or those with endless time on their hands to check Walgreens websites. [/quote]
