    Before anyone tries to defend this:

    Explain to me why a 95-year-old with major preexisting conditions can't get the vaccine for a month, but a 25-year-old healthcare or essential worker can get it before them.

    Does this make any fucking sense?

    "BBBBBBUT THEM ESSENTIAL WORKERS DUN SPREAD DA DISEASE MORE"

    Yeah, but if you vaccinate the group which is dying from it, then "spreading the disease more" will matter much less, amirite?

    It's amazing how little the science is actually followed by the left. As Nate Silver (who is no right-winger, obviously) tweeted above, he has "bit his tongue" for a long time about the poor public policy decisions being made by certain politicians who falsely claim to be "following the science".

    And he's not talking about Trump or the right.

    are there any reliable stats that prove or disprove that frontline medical workers catch covid at a higher rate? I mean THEY'RE WEARING THEIR MASKS RIGHT? THAT force field that stops the virus in its tracks, they should be fine

    you might be the most scientifically illiterate poster on your own site.

    healthcare workers save lives. by protecting them from a disease they are able to provide care that can save hundreds/thousands of lives.

    without them, we dont have health care. for anything.

    equally frustrating are the "OMG POLITICIANS ARE GETTING THE VACCINE BEFORE SUCH AND SUCH" posts out there.

    like yeah news flash karen; continuity of government is considered essential, you also wont be allowed into the cheyenne mountain nuclear bunker when the bombs start to drop.

    Since the dawn of time there has been a nursing shortage. Nobody needs nurses out for weeks.

    annnnd.... apropos of nothing here.....nobody discusses the absolute pain in the ass it is to have employees out because of contact tracing and quarantine. It ain’t just death that’s disruptive to society.

    Lol books. Shots fired

    the whole notion of biological warfare is largely predicated on the same physics as land mines; its not about creating deaths, its about disrupting a society's ability to function. if you blow off a dudes foot, it takes like 5 people to save his life. if you kill him, you have 5 people with free time to shoot back at you.

    a virus is basically a contagious land mine with the potential to infect the 5 people needed to fix every victim.

    there was a great moment in an otherwise forgettable documentary series about a post-collapse civilization where some rube nicks his finger while chopping vegetables for dinner. he puts a bandaid on it. it gets infected. the tube of antibiotics is empty. no knows shit about what herbs to create a poultice from, there arent any hospitals because supply chains are done, so the countdown begins.

    you know what happens when an infected finger goes untreated and the body misses its outs on the river?



    billions of dollars and the brightest minds available have spent decades calculating where to delegate resources during pandemics, including vaccines. ill fuck with them over the dunning kruger sosh media scene personally.

    Computer tech comes into my buddy’s real estate office. Goes from desk to desk.

    He tests positive. Contact trace ... All his realtors now are scurrying for two tests. Out of work. What is he going to do as he is dealing with the public and he cannot risk his firm’s reputation.

    Shit show. Not to mention everyone is shelling out $150 a swabbing.

    The city is under siege. All able men to the front. There is a shortage of guns, and your strategy is to give one to grandma holed up her nursing home? Good thing you weren’t in charge of St. Petersburg in WWII.

    an absolutely fascinating look at what happens when algs go bad:

    https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...-medical-resid

    stanford used AI to determine who gets their vaccine.

    5000 doses. 1300 resident medical workers.

    the AI selected *seven* of the residents for vaccination.

    why?

    bad data entry and improper weights;

    many residents did not have their locations properly entered in the data set, and their young age left them under prioritized.

    alg driven medicine is non-trivial. want some bullet proof career advice? learn python.
