The Priority List

[PhilFish]

They're free, but the government determines when you get one.
Personally I am giving up a lot, by the government placing me in the back in of the line. I would be willing to pay a premium to get the freedom and safety a vaccine provides earlier than my position in line.

Hmm. Odd.. we as a society are prioritizing based on recommended strata from cdc, health authorities etc

Yes, the soviet union had a recommended strata for distributing things as well. Turns out government distributing anything is a recipe for inefficiencies.

This whole government distribution plan reminds me of communism.

Cool. What practical experience do you have with it?

Have with what?

Have with what?

Communism , such that you are reminded of it...

The point I am trying to make is there is market rate for the vaccine. And using that market rate, the vaccine would be distributed a lot more efficiently than it is now.
I am not trying to get into a hypothetical bidding war.

$19 vaccine

Mid seventies, no brains, you will never get the vaccine.

Mid 70's is a lie

if I wanted it I could get it tomorrow for Free long before you and you will never get the vaccine

I read books. Does my lack of first of hand experience make me wrong?

A well-intentioned 3 letter government organization arbitrarily deciding who, what, where, and how you received stuff you received is precisely how the soviet economy failed. Now we want to re-run that again with the COVID vaccine. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

She is ill and elderly.

That doesn't make her important.

 

[PhilFish]

I read books.

Cool what books do you read...?

 

[TBLee]

That doesn't make her important.

As important as you are, and it appears she will be getting her vaccine before you.

No shit, because the vaccine distribution is communism. I am fine with it, if we can do with everything, no need to stop with the vaccine, let's let the government decide who get milk, eggs, and electricity while we're at it.

It appears I hit a nerve. Hoping your parents get their vaccine soon as well. Personally, I am glad that our elderly are among the first to receive the vaccine.
