2) Look it’s a hard choice between #COVID19 vaccine vs another disease. I get it. But this is what **good govt planning** would have made a world of difference. Logistics is all about planning. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, as they say.
3) Thyroid Eye 👁 Disease is also known as GRAVE’S disease. I know several friends who have it. It’s a progressive illness. This really sucks. thyroid.org/graves-eye-dis…
4) “The Company currently anticipates that this drug supply shortage will begin at the end of December and could last through the first quarter.”

1) Incompetence/negligence?
2) Throttling for 2nd dose?
3) Hoarding for other reason? Image
2) Multiple states are reporting cuts to their promised vaccine allotments. Still unclear why. Florida says it’s production delays but no other states are citing that reasons for their huge cuts google.com/amp/s/www.ajc.…
3) the cuts are pretty severe - from 30-50% reductions to promised vaccine deliveries. Weird. google.com/amp/s/nymag.co… Image
