Yeah, once they run through essential workers and the vulnerable, it will have to be somewhat random but they can’t push distribution out too far because of the logistics (very cold requirements). Bill Gates was talking about how the States should be moving now to set up websites that would collect health information to help with implanting microchips, er rolling out vaccine.

The Oxford vaccine that they announced had good results will be easier t distribute and cheaper to produce.

It will be interesting to see if Biden signs onto the international protocols about making sure poorer countries get vaccines. Canada is a signatory.

Isn't that precisely a reason to casually dismiss his perspective?

Crazy...I get redbubble ads on here because I've bought shirts from there. But I get Nylander jerseys specifically in the ads, even though I've never searched any hockey stuff on redbubble. But Skynet knows me well enough.

I made the mistake of going into a custom balsamic vinegar and olive oil shop while my fiance was in a stupid boutique that could only handle 3 people in there. I am not addicted to Mango Balsamic Vinegar.

you and me both

not everyone is as community minded though

Yup, My wife and I are 31 and 30, healthy and have 3 kids. We’re not expecting to be first in line. We also don’t have many cases in our area ( I think like 3) so I think it should be targeted to higher risk areas first.

Also I’m fine being the second batch. I don’t really feel like being the guinea pig.

An addiction is okay if it doesn't harm you and your supply is steady.

32 dollars? That's mango and vinegar. Are you drinking it?

I suspect this sentiment is a lot more prevalent than one would expect. Anecdotally, I've heard a few people say the same thing.

Conversely, my best friend, who has no kids nor a significant other, is not an essential worker, and can work indefinitely remotely, has said he wants it as soon as it's available.

Go figure.

Can the NHL (and other sports leagues) not just go directly to Pfizer/Moderna and buy the vaccine?

The vaccine isn't the property of any government as far as I know. What's to stop a sports league from offering $1,000 per dose to get it earlier?

I agree.. A lot of people are likely just waiting until they can see the results of the vaccine. Seniors, immuno-compromised people and health care workers should be at the front of the line.

Basically. Using it on bread. Put it in a stew. Marinated chicken in it. Made a salad dressing. Slept with it. The usual.

I’ll be curious to see how many people that don’t vaccinate their kids change their minds and take this vaccine.

I’ll let you know if there are any side effects that make me act strangely.

There’s some speculation that people might shop around for one vaccine over another.

I'm pretty sure they CAN buy direct. Kinda like they did with testing kits. Although there might be priority in the fulfillment of orders.

So people would be willing to pay for an extra 5% effectiveness?
