Massachusetts policy for giving out vaccine shots is a mess.
Since the Governor is responsible for setting up the policy, why isn't he using his ten years as CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care experience ?

Same reason why I don’t take aspirin, and I don’t get the flu vaccine - I can deal with a headache or the flu (if I catch it). I don’t like taking medication unless it’s necessary. I’ll take a vaccine if I the illness is serious enough to warrant it. Not to take away from those who died or lost family/friends. But there are treatments available. We are not going to be able to eradicate this virus. It’s none of your business if I want to or don’t want to. Whether or not you get vaccinated should be a private matter between you and your doctor.

Nobody ever asked me if I thought we should spend all that tax money on developing a vaccine. I would’ve told you before hand I’m not taking it.

And… Let the personal attacks commence!

I don’t understand the fear of vaccines. It’s a stick in the arm to stop a global pandemic. The odds are very long to have a bad reaction. The odds of suffering from the virus are higher than the vaccine. I don’t see why a rational person would be more afraid of the vaccine than the virus. They were both made in a lab.

If only rationale could be developed in labs and injected.
No more dimocrats!

In many ways it’s probably similar to why people are afraid of getting Covid. Ultimately, fear of death. And not knowing what is going to happen.

You don't know that the odds of suffering from the virus are higher than suffering from the vaccine.

For people of relatively healthy body weight, who don't have an AARP card, the virus isn't dangerous hardly at all. The vaccine is a total unknown.

Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn’t find out


Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.

The stunning admission of a coverup was made by secretary to the governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”

“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.

Cuomo lied and people died. Shameful, and criminal yet Cuomo was celebrated and wrote a book. What a joke!

There are more people in the US vaccinated than have had the virus. The virus has about 400k lead in deaths. The odds are clear.

And note that I stipulated that I was speaking of height-weight proportionate people who are not old.

People who are under 65, and not fat, are at almost no risks, and you will have a hard time finding any meaningful deaths among them.

I do believe the vaccine is safer than the virus if you're old and fat.
