#charliebaker opens with touting the Commonwealth's hitting the one-million-people vaccinated milestone.
"We did learn through various media reports the committee was particularly interested in mass vaccination sites." says @MassGovernor. Did no one ask each other what they were interested in?
.@MassGovernor says 'that's not true,' regarding stories about local boards of health not getting #COVID19Vaccine.
.@MassGovernor 'that's not also not true" when it comes to some parts of the state not being as well served as other parts of the state.
.@CindyFriedmanMA uses the word 'odious' to describe some of @MassGovernor's comments, specifically those related to local boards of health and reachouts to black and brown communities. @wbznewsradio
She also doesn't like the 'media' comments. "We didn't leak anything to the media,' she says.
"What we're getting from you is "you're all wrong," @CindyFriedmanMA says.
"We're not making this up," she says.
"We're living in two different worlds," says @CindyFriedmanMA to @MassGovernor. In this virtual hearing, I cannot see @MassGovernor's reaction. #mapoli
.@MassGovernor is asked about his opening pace, and says he thinks he's struck the 'right balance' in opening.
.@JohnCronin_MA asks why the state's #covid19 plans differ so much from #h1n1.
.@MassGovernor explains #covid19 is a 180 from what used to be called the #swineflu.
Cronin says, the point is there was a public health infrastructure in place, and your administration decided to replace the wheel. Was that the correct choice?
A very #charliebaker answer: "Well, yeah." #mapoli
.@JulianCyr asks about the state's old vaccination/pandemic plan. @MassGovernor holds up what he says is the Senate plan for such a thing, and says so much has changed since that was assembled.
.@JulianCyr says he has no idea what this Senate Report is, and neither do his colleges with whom he's texting.
There's a move to take that conversation offline.
Question again -- about local BOH not getting vaccine, about marginalized communities. @MassGovernor says "I talked to @marty_walsh, when he was mayor, every day. I talked to @danrivera01843, every day, when he was mayor (of Lawrence.)
.@MassGovernor says he understands there is more work to do in minority communities.
And @MassGovernor is done. Questions largely focused on why #charliebaker went with mass vax sites, and what will be next. Coverage on @wbznewsradio

Today is #purpleday. I was diagnosed with #epilepsy at the age of 28 after having simple partial seizures for years. I had tonic-clonic seizures -- what used to be called grand mal seizures -- in my sleep, and never knew.
This was diagnosed in a very classy way -- I woke up with a bruised forehead and a broken toilet seat. Things like stroke and brain cancer had to be eliminated. I had just moved to NYC and started writing for @CBSRadio. Bad timing.
There are more than 40 different types of seizures. They are very personal. They have different 'triggers'. Mine are triggered by exhaustion. I had to stop working overnights, and I avoid early mornings, which is difficult in a business that starts at 3am and goes all night.

David Scott never really knew his older brother, John. John was born disabled and sent to the #fernaldSchool in Waltham. And with the Scott Family being in Roslindale, and poor, and not having a car, getting to Waltham wasn't easy.
John died at the age of 7, and was buried in a grave marked only with a number, and with a letter: C or P, meaning either #Catholic or #Protestant. Those were the options. He was buried here.
It's difficult to keep track of records. Advocates have been trying. metferncemetery.org/bio/C-154

"#prepmod failed miserably" says Curtis Wood, the Commonwealth's Director of Chief Information Officer. #mapoli @wbznewsradio
The state did not do a load test, Wood says, it expected PrepMod to do so.
"There was no indication this would fail," Wood says.
