My take on it. No one believed Trump would do it, not wanted to give him a win. So there was little upfront planning. Then the vaccine was announced and people scrambled. Here in WA, a month after they got the first vaccines they decided to open songs vaccine centers. As if it was a new idea. Why weren't these ready to go day 1?
Then there is the whole mess of who gets it. Should have been strictly by age. Instead there is a huge list of who can get it. And it was supposed to be done without discrimination. But because of the long list of exceptions, it makes it easy to discriminate.
Then there was the whole save the second dose... No give everything out.
While there are people who want to wait, that really isn't the problem. A freezer broke here, in the middle of the night and the put it a message in social media and delivered all the vaccines within hours.
The stupid thing is, if they have the vaccine just to the elderly, we could practically go back to normal in like a month...
