[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... if every adult becomes hypothetically eligible on May 1st, and DC has agreed to participate, will that be the end of DC's discriminatory preferences, or will the effectively negate President Biden's promise for those of us they consider officially undeserving of healthcare?

No. Baring a court order DC will keep a thumb on the scale for “priority” zip codes.  Based on the DC Covid database AA are probably receiving at least 50% of vaccines, maybe more.  It’s hard to tell for certain because a meaningful portion of race data is unreported, but it’s hard to imagine hospital sites in Ward 3 would not have access and provide that data. So the unreported data is likely EOTR.  Nothing will change until they are forced to do so. Why would they, Mary Cheh has been one of their biggest cheerleaders.  [/quote]

Who cares? Give the vaccine to those who are most likely to become exposed, sick or die. Those of us who are healthy and telework can wait. Wards 7 and 8 are still way behind the rest of the city.

The good news: Every senior citizen who registered by Thursday night was offered an appointment on Friday. [/quote]

Since DC is full of so many altruistic, woke people like you--perhaps a "do not call until everyone else has gone before me" list could be created?[/quote]

At least you recognize that you aren't altruistic! If you're selfish, own it!

And yes, I haven't registered myself yet in DC because I'm not eligible. It's not woke, it's just "following directions and waiting my turn," so basic kindergarten stuff.[/quote]
