[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more hurdles are put in place, the worse the distribution will be. In places where equity has trumped efficiency (DC, MoCo, PGC), vaccine distribution is terrible. What these politicians fail to see is that this is not a normal fairness problem, because once someone gets the two (or one) shot(s), they are out of the demand pool. Therefore, the fastest way to get to herd immunity is to let the people who want it more take it first, and while that is happening, lay in the infrastructure to reach more reluctant / harder-to-reach communities. This will maximize herd immunity and minimize the chances for variants to spread. Instead, to virtue-signal to their bases, politicians in DC / MD (and the insufferable WaPo Metro section) just keep writing about equity and setting up more and more barriers to getting the shot, while our doses sit unused and the people who want the vaccine throw up their hands. This is a shameful failure of leadership but tracks with the current DEI obsession generally in our area.[/quote]

These half-baked policies fly in the face of public health. More people will get sick and die because of them. [/quote]
