Then there should be no problem giving them first access, since according to you they don’t want it. There will be plenty left for you.[/quote]

"They" have first access on a sizable number of days of the week. What's your issue?
I notice DC is slipping down in the vaccine distribution efficiency rankings...wonder if it's because we are tying ourselves in to pretzels over this kind of stuff. How about first come first serve, drive through or walkup at RFK? We have 700,000 people. Should be able to get it done for ALL who want a vaccine faster than we are, no?

From the Post commenting on W Virginia's success, where they "kept it stupid":

“People think we’re the poorest or most backward or whatever it may be,” Justice said in an interview. “But West Virginia has become the diamond in the rough.”

The state’s record has won it accolades from public health professionals as well as notice from the Biden administration. Just 90 minutes after the new president was sworn in last month, Justice, a Republican, said he had a call from the administration’s new coronavirus coordinator, Jeff Zients, inquiring whether West Virginia’s success might offer lessons outside the Mountain State.

Tinglong Dai, who teaches at Johns Hopkins University’s business and nursing schools, said it certainly does.

In many states, Dai said, governors have delegated the vaccination process to a web of underfunded county health departments, along with hospitals, pharmacies, HMOs and doctor’s offices. Each has devised its own sign-up system and made its own rules for who can get vaccinated and when.

[b]West Virginia has sought to avoid that — where possible — by creating a uniform statewide process[/b].
