Oh right. I had read that there was an error yesterday. Forgot about that, I guess this is just a correction.

Another Fairfax County oddity. The vaccine dashboard had been showing 42K registered for vaccine the first day (1/18) that 1B people were eligible to register. Now it says 44K.

Day 1: @POTUS  set a goal of vaccinating 100 million people in 100 days.

Day 33: We’re already halfway there.

How many had been vaccinated by Jan 20?

231 today. Tops in the nation.
Need to dig deeper to ensure it's not a scam, but just received an email from CVS with confirmation of two appointments for a vaccine… woooit!

Edit: my partner signed us up and I was not aware.
That’s great!


My brother in law is 45, lives in Texas and is on his way to get his vaccine shot right now…


So it definitely seems to be opening up

The federal pharmacy program is starting to open up state by state to <65yo and those of you with Ticketmaster/F5/refresh-fu skills are going to be well suited to get vaxxed.

sideF5 should be signed up by Q1 of 2022 then.
That may be pushing it…
The first day of signups for 16-64 with a condition in Fairfax County was January 18. They finally made it through all the first day registrants and moved on to the January 19 registrants.

I signed up on January 31. So going to be a while for us.

I was thinking the exact same thing, I might be 65 before can score a jab that way
These guys need to sit the fuck down and shut up.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops urged Catholics to avoid taking the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine and to choose alternatives from Pfizer or Moderna instead because Johnson & Johnson used cells derived decades ago from an abortion to create the vaccine.

I don’t know

I can only hazard a guess that they were not transparent with the data over past few months and are now adding all these deaths in?

If so I find it appalling

An alternate explanation is they changed the way of counting a death as being from covid?

Nobody seems to care?

I think this article is pretty negative

It won't end.

Herd immunity + majority of people vaccinated + yearly cycle of vaccines (if needed)

Let anyone that doesn't agree to vaccinate suffer the consequences and move on.
