It's Not Rocket Science

Can you believe this inept and embarrassing rollout of vaccinations?  I mean, in what universe are we not going 7/24, balls to the wall to get as many people vaccinated as possible? There are supposedly 20 million doses ready with more coming and only around 3 million have been vaccinated.  Give me a break!  This is an epic failure of the federal government.  Epic.  Why on earth isn't there a federal standard and a federal plan?  To leave this to the states invites chaos.  I normally will default to planning at the lowest level but the current scheme isn't cutting it.  Each state choses how they are going to do it, what the priorities are, and what the urgency is.  No...just no.  This the Katrina in the medical world.  

There should be massive recruitment of anyone who can jab a needle in someone's arm or can be trained to do it and an implementation process designed to get it done asap.  There are plenty of people who need work.  Sign them up.  There are a lot of schools sitting idle.  Convert gymnasiums to vaccination centers.  Set priorities and get people in line.  Create an organization infrastructure to get it done.  I could name several folks who I know from the military who could get this done.  Put a group of veterans in charge who know how to organize, can give orders, recognize the need for urgency and stand back.
