Patience People! The Vaccine is Coming

The complaints are off the charts.   As the vaccine rollout kicks into 2nd gear… a lot of people are angry and frustrated.  As they prepare to open things up to the elderly … we’re seeing complaints about crashing government websites… overloaded phone systems.   Appointments confirmed and then unconfirmed.   I heard one complaint that at a vaccination drive through… can you believe they won’t have porta potties for the elderly? Folks.  This vaccine is an awe-inspring  miracle of modern science.  They’re creating 500-milion doses in the snap of the fingers… distribuing it via utra cold storage  to the    states… and stick it into people’s arms.   This is a herculean undertaking.   I gaurantee you that nobody involved in this effort has any experience at something like this. And the complaints aren’t just in Utah.   Similar sentiments are echoing across the country … because everybody who wants t he vaccine wants it right now…. A few days ago… Health and Human Services announced they’re releasing their reserves.  The vials the vials are coming.  But the Washington Post reports when they said we’re releasing the reserves…. there were no reserves.  They were already depleted.    So the states aren’t going to get a flood of vaccine as they expected.  Appointments might be cancelled… and we’ll hear more complaints. This is a breathtaking vaccination program that’s beginning with one symptom you don’t associate with Covid. Hiccups.    So try to be patient.  And for the meantime… stay safe.
