I read that they gave the Moderna vaccine to really old people in nursing homes and 35 died. Probably no good choices for someone in that position.

I think your posts on this subject are stupid and a waste of time. The CDC explains the reasons for this , and you can dig a bit deeper to find the data behind it.Quote:

I can't remember if they gave Moderna or Pfizer to everyone, staff at residents, at my parents assisted living place. 104 vaccinations and zero problems. So that's a relief.
Hank Aaron died 18 days after getting the vaccine. Maybe our approach is backwards and we should vaccinate all the young people first, moving up in age until we reach herd immunity, hopefully not having to immunize the oldest.Quote:

I saw on the news today smokers are considered to be comorbid and will go ahead of nonsmoking elderly in getting the vaccine. Maybe we can let people who smoke meth, crack, etc jump to the head of the line next - assuming they are not already there as inmates.
Yppej - here, read this, and get back to us.

My parents are finally eligible for a vaccine but have heard so many horror stories on the news they are not even trying to sign up. There are problems like the website spins for hours, there are no open slots within an hour's drive, people sign up and are then canceled because of insufficient vaccine. This is just for people 75 and older. Supposedly in 2 months the state is going to vaccinate everyone over 65, people with comorbidities, and all essential workers including teachers. I think it is a fairy tale timeline.
The AARP is saying seniors should not have to navigate the horrific website but have a toll free number to call.
What a difference a week makes!
The Minnesota Web site for signups opened a week ago Tuesday and you could hear the Comcast network wires popping from the traffic. it wasn't the Web site but the bandwidth to it that caused the problems: slow response, time spent in "waiting rooms", site downs. For this week they changed it to a 24-hour period in which people over 65 could register, and, from that "haul", a lottery will be conducted to populate appointment times and locations. Seems much more efficient and fair to me.
But DW and I actually got our first dose of the Moderna vaccine this afternoon. Her mother's LTC facility either encouraged or required (not sure which) essential family caregivers to get the vaccine, and they were generous enough to extend it to the husband of an essential caregiver. Painless injections and no side effects yet.
The mood in Minnesota apparently is to get as many people vaccinated as possible with the ends of thawed vaccine lots without worrying about where they are in the priorities. If they've got a few doses they'll just have to throw out, step right up. Right now there's always someone around who'll want it.
What a relief for you and your wife Steve. I know that Brazilian variant is in Minnesota.
