CT ranks 3rd in % vaccinated. Expanding to 55+ AND ALL TEACHERS next week, 45+ end of March. We have almost a dozen vaccination providers with sites all over the state, and are a small state. In TX you need big sites. Dallas alone is 2.5M people.

So far Lamont hasn't screwed up vaccinations. Fingers crossed it continues - I fall into the 55+ group next week but I'm glad teachers are on the list also. As it is I know multiple teachers who have gotten it and all my friends in healthcare have as well.

CT vaccination
Age based is best strategy
Finally Ned does something useful.
Here is the bigger issue
In March, Pfizer & Moderna will deliver 200-220 million doses.
J&J if approved will deliver 20 million
CT’s share is enough to vaccinate 1.2 million in March alone
That means CT will need to vaccinate 70,000 a day every day
This is 2-3x greater then our best day’s in February
Speed is the key. Moving to age only is simply easier
The proposed dates will get moved up due to vaccine hesitation & lack of demand
In April, every CT resident that wants it will be able to get it.
I wish people understood this and would relax.
It is over. Time to move on.

Still have to get the vaccine from the Feds and it's allocated based on population size. Funny how that is an equitable method, right? Other poster is right we are 3rd or 4th right now. No complaints here (and I have many others for Lamont but not this).

Anyone on this site go to a super center that Biden created to distribute the vaccine? Are there any in ct? States like texas and Florida have them. Liberal ct...,we still can’t get teachers vaccinated. We are still on the 65+ crowd. The people who stay indoors and don’t go to work, school, bars, etc.

Won’t really matter if Biden can’t ship the vaccine as fast as trump did now will it?

Explain the Biden plan please....I really have no clue what it is and there are no signs it is working

Lots of super centers in CT for vaccinations. There are state run places. look it up. Teachers can get vaccinated starting Monday. 65+ are the people that die when others who dont stay indoors and go to work, school, bar etc. If you know someone has a gun do you buy the bullet proof vest for that person?

Biden is remarkable in getting the vaccine out. Ramping up quickly to 1.5 million per day. Unfortunately, that is still less than 30,000 per day for CT. But as CT is one of the best states for distribution efficiency we are all going to be vaccinated soon (except the anti-vaxxers). We will have to make it mandatory once we get through the first wave.

Mandatory is a long way off.
FDA has committed to a 2 year study of the vaccine’s. This was part of the EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION. This was the only way they were, are, willing to give EAU.
It is against the federal law to mandate a medicine that does not have full FDA approval as a authorized treatment for a condition.
FDA issue EUA in December 2020.
FDA will study the vaccine’s for two years until December 2022 at a minimum
FDA will then decide if they wish to move forward on full authorization
If FDA gives full authorization (very unlikely for Pfizer or moderna due to excessive adverse events) then state legislature’s will debate.
Kids are even further away as no vaccine even has EAU for children. Children vaccine’s have a much much higher bar to clear.
It is over and we didn’t even need the vaccine’s

I wish the vaccine were mandatory for certain situations (like healthcare workers etc) but also understand why it won't be for awhile. What will happen, however, is you will either need a negative test or proof of vaccination for travel, school even sporting events. Easier to get vaxd then get tested all the time.

MSG is requiring a negative test within 72 hours for admittance (they're opening now with very limited capacity). If you have to have a test for things like that, travel, work just get the shot!

The $1 lateral flow test as used in the UK.
Testing on the spot.
Some might try that for awhile but it too will fade away with time.

I have heard about CDC vaccination cards for sale.
Problem solved.

say what!!!!!!!!

The Biden White House is being accused of hypocrisy for reopening border facilities to house migrant teenagers — including one that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris savaged then-President Donald Trump about on the campaign trail and before.

Biden blasted Trump repeatedly for separating families and failing to reunite them, decrying during an October debate that migrant children were “ripped from their [parents’] arms and separated.”

Harris, then a senator, said in 2018 at the peak of the family separation controversy that Trump’s treatment of migrants was a “crime against humanity.”

But on Monday the Department of Health and Human Services reopened a facility in Texas to house up to 700 migrants ages 13 to 17. A second facility in Florida also is being reopened. The decision rankled immigration advocates and sparked allegations of hypocrisy given the previous BIden-Harris condemnation.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was pressed about the issue at her briefing Tuesday and danced around the issue, insisting it was a temporary measure for unaccompanied minors that is necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wait....this is in the covid Bill?
One strategy that McConnell, McCarthy and House GOP Whip Steve Scalise are now deploying is to draw attention to funding projects within the bill that are tied to the districts and states of key Democratic leaders. The House GOP leaders singled out two examples on Wednesday: a $100 million rapid transit project in the Bay Area in the home state of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and $1.5 million that would be spent on the Seaway International Bridge over the St. Lawrence River between Canada and upstate New York, which is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's home state.

Now that’s pork.......trump tried to drain the swamp but Biden has pulled out firehoses to refill it

Yes it is, but don't think for a minute the GOP doesn't have their own pet projects in there or haven't done similarly with other legislation

do you have some facts to back that up or is this just speculation because I have not seen any evidence of this?...regardless ALL pork should be removed
