Not sure if this is jounge or P&R, prob P&R I guess

Just got done navigating the VAMS website to get my mom signed up to receive the vaccine. First, that website fuckingsucksdick. Second, earliest available appointment is March 27th. Cheese and rice, and these are the dummbasses that are telling us how to live our lives, closing down our businesses, schools, etc. The don't know their heads from their a$ses.

Just one more failure of government

And that is not an attack on either side, they are all incompetent.

Have a friend that owns a pharmacy and he said they are going to be listed as a site. Going to let me know when they are ready to go so we can get one of the first available appointments, so hopefully my mom will get it much earlier, fangers crossed! He said the entire SC DHEC organization is screwing this up royally.

I'm sure he would love a complaint call :)

What I understand from a nurse friend of mine that has something to do with vaccine distribution at AnMed in Anderson is that the initial phase was to be healthcare providers. But, a lot more healthcare providers...mainly lower level nurses and admin positions are choose not to get vaccinated. She said she didn't know of a single doctor that was not getting it for whatever that's worth.

Anyways, she said DHEC is having to move to stage 1b (I think) earlier that it had planned to and the distribution system isn't ready to handle it yet. It's got to be complicated as #### and being done in an incredibly short time, so I'm inclined to be a sympathetic to things being a little screwed up right now.

I 100% agree that this has been an excellent show of ineptitude. Things will get better once the Moderna vaccine, which can be stored in a standard refrigerator freezer, has been fully disseminated to long term care centers. Moderna can then be ordered in minimal 100 unit allotments and individual doctors offices and pharmacies can dispense it.

However, the smarter play would be for governors to activate the National Guard which has a significant number of medical personnel and ask for medical retirees and current medical personnel to assist on their off time in giving mass vaccinations in large venues using the larger allotment of the Pfizer vaccine.

We are losing far more people here in SC and across the nation from virtually any disaster on a daily basis. Life saving surgeries are being canceled. If the current situation does not constitute an emergency, I don't know what does. Yet, the Federal and State responses for the most part do not even approximate a competent response.

The frustration that I experienced yesterday getting my elderly parents signed up had me saying a lot of words that have those aggressive c's and k's in them. I spent my life in health care. It doesn't have to be this way.

It is sad too. I read an article last night that only around 50% of the ancillary health care workers such as housekeeping, food services, etc were taking the vaccine while doctors and nurses were very much on board. It boiled down to a lack of education and in some cases fear based on experimentation on minorities in the past. This is sad as these individuals are the very ones who need the vaccine as many of them live in multigenerational households.

This is not DHEC's nor McMaster's finest day.

big daddy,

I hope you get your moms taken care of quickly. I am sure it can be frustrating, but helping 350 million people is a daunting task.
