[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC change the priority rules today:

DC should vaccinate all essential workers or people with these conditions who live in DC . The issue is vaccine supply. If DC is giving 38% to 1/2 away to out of staters, may be hard to get a spot in the queue as a resident.[/quote]
If a daycare workers lives in MD or VA but still works with our kid in DC you are not helping anybody in the DC community by denying them a vaccine if they want it. The virus doesn’t care which jurisdiction you live in.  [/quote]

disagree. if DC is vaccinating 20-something daycare workers from Virginia, but not **much higher risk** 55-65 year old DC residents, that is a massive failure of DC to care for its own. [/quote]

It's okay to disagree on priorities, but it's not a "massive failure" to vaccinate workers who provide essential services to DC families. [b]59 percent[/b] of DC's deaths were people 70+, and below that the numbers fall off. We can't cherry pick the most worthy recipients out of broad population groups. Hopefully the high-risk 55 year olds will be able to snag a shot in the next couple of weeks when we move to health conditions, which are both broad and self reported.[/quote]

yes, it is a massive failure to prioritize lower-risk over higher risk people. I’m not sure why this is even a question.[/quote]
