It’s already happening. It isn’ta huge conspiracy. People in the supply chain are pulling doses for personal use, friends and high value customers. I read that people from other nations are going to states with lax procedures to get shots. This is ask to be expected. Hell, people rob banks too. People push hallucinogenic drugs. People traffic kids. Are people really naïve to think the system won’t need games by creeps?
Just wait for counterfeit COVID.

That's in FL and their governor is OK with it. And yes, some suppliers are giving out extra doses to random people rather than waste them. That is not selling on the black market. Remember we have no national guidelines, as once again it was left to the each state to figure it out for themselves.
Just another indication that Barkley is a world class a$$hole. He is saying that rich people should get preferential treatment. There is absolutely no reason that a healthy 25 year old should jump the line ahead of 70 year old with diabetes.See the link below. From the article:
“Health care workers, first responders and the elderly are all in line to get the initial doses of the coronavirus vaccine first, but Charles Barkley offered a different idea Thursday.
Barkley said during the "NBA on TNT" broadcast that pro athletes should get the first round of the vaccine.
"I think they should let NBA players and coaches all get the vaccine. That’s just my personal opinion. We need 300 million shots. Give some thousand to NBA players … NFL players, hockey players … As much taxes as these players pay, let me repeat that, as much taxes as these players pay, they deserve some preferential treatment," Barkley said.”

No doubt this will go over well.
But the 70-year-old with diabetus doesn’t pack the seats like the healthy basketball player does. Oh, wait.
Too late they put themselves at the top of the list and already got their shots because Members of Congress are way more vulnerable to COVID than my Dad who is 90 and in assisted living - total hypocritical BS from our ruling class as usual.
direct result of prioritizing a population of people have the lowest interest in the vaccine. have seen this everywhere. have a brother in CBus and he said one hospital only had 20% acceptance of the vaccine for its direct healthcare workers, and they were forbidden to give the vaccine to the next groups who were much more interested. each state did its own interpretation of the priorities. at least Florida is administering at a high rate, but they cannot keep up with the demand.
Sir Charles should probably avoid commenting on something like this, but then again he might be doing one of his head fake moves with the comment to just draw attention. he is not stupid.
Yep. I posted this earlier. Many octogenarians aren’t taking the jag as many don’t care and have non recessitate clauses. Many are concerned the side effects will kill them in their feeble state. Many healthcare works have either already had it or are young enough to be very low risk.
I read that re Jersey and just shook my head. I believe obese individuals also have preference.

I agree. Start the line and go richest to poorest for everything. Without money we dont have hospitals, hospital workers, vaccines ect.
PS. Broke NBA players can go to the back of the line.
I just signed up last night to get my vaccine. Should be within a week or so. I’m hoping an NBA salary comes along with it!
