RT if you think that we shouldn't be throwing out usable doses of the vaccine.
In the face of mass death and mass suffering, every wasted dose is a policy failure, a leadership failure, a moral failure.
Institutions are throwing out doses because they're rigidly sticking to their current eligibility recommendations, because they're failing to maintain the cold chain.
There should be mandatory, transparent reporting of every single wasted dose.
Every dose that must be used by the end of the day should have its eligibility opened up.
Worried about unintended consequences? Solve for them, don't just trash the doses.

1/ Here's four things I hope everyone will connect with to better understand MLK:
– His concerns about white moderates
– Not just his dream but his nightmare
– Not just anti-racism but interconnectedness and anti-oppression
– Not just persuasion but organizing disruptive action
16 quarts of mushroom barley soup for us and friends.
(Not pictured: quart 17, already eaten)
We used this recipe with some modifications.
– added the barley at the end, not separately
– used Better Than Bouillon vegetable broth
– 1.5x carrots/celery/onion
– 2x dried shiitakes
– added garlic powder
Key sourcing:
– Baldor for pearl barley (we got 10lbs)
– Chinatown markets for white button mushrooms (we got 4lbs), shiitake
– Costco for carrots, Better Than Bouillon
These are projected deaths under different scenarios.
Not sure how much they include:
– New and more infectious strain
– Major socializing events e.g. Super Bowl
– Changing patterns of mask use/distancing/staying home as people fatigue
1) It is immoral and urgent that people are not getting healthcare they need and deserve.
2) It is immoral and urgent that the current system causes so much financial and psychological stress to people who just want healthcare.
3) It is heinous that Wall Street, pharma, insurers, for-profit hospitals, non-profit hospitals, rightwing politicians, and "moderate" plutocratic politicians fight #MedicareForAll, allowing ongoing mass death and mass suffering from preventable illness and financial toxicity.
