Vaccinators are being instructed to give vaccines to lower-priority groups, if it's at risk of being unused. Supposedly many were wasted, due to strict guidelines.

When the COVID-19 vaccine rollout began, there seemed no good answers for what to do with leftover doses. Vaccinators were punished for giving shots in violation of priority lists, while fearful clinics were condemned for throwing doses away.

"Early on, the question was, 'Is the absolute red line that you don't throw a dose away? Or is the red line that you don't give it to the wrong person?'" said Dr. Matthew Zahn, medical director of the division of epidemiology for Orange County in California.

Federal guidelines existed but weren't widely emphasized. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices issued guidance urging “a flexible approach” to the vaccine, especially when it was in danger of going unused.

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams tweeted out if it was a case of choosing between wasting vaccine or moving down the priority groups, the correct action was to put vaccine in arms.

It seems like they need to restructure their guidelines to allow proper (and a more accurate) distribution.

"leftover", that's a compelling news title

I can't feel safe with these vaccines

I somewhat feel the same.

The full effect of the vaccines, will only be known when they've been distributed for at least a few months.

Apparently smokers will get priority for the vaccine in North Carolina:

A "smoker" is defined as someone that's smoked 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. Some states also have obesity on their list of qualifying conditions.

I can't believe that's their classification. There will be plenty of people who smoked 100 in their 20s but nothing for the last 25 years. Very odd!

Well, and I'd imagine you could just lie.

Here's a video of a very prestigeous scientist who has held various positions for the Eu, been on the medical committee and on top of that worked in a Biosafety level 4 lab. The delivery mechanism by way of mRNA has been tried before on mice, they all ended up dying sooner or later.


We must ask ourselves, why are they so hell bent for leather to vaccinate the entire world population. With an experimental "vaccine", brough forward with record speed. Built on never before tested (on humans) technology, that shipped animal trials and was authorized under an emergency declaration.

Forgive me, but I would be very careful believing what this woman says. This is the same woman that claimed you were immune for life after 10 days of contracting the virus and stated social distancing and other restrictions were not needed. I appreciate she's highly qualified, but I'd be wary of trusting her as a source unless there were SEVERAL other creditable sources in agreement.

However, I do understand where you're coming from. It's definitely fair to feel concern about such a new vaccine. Keep an eye out on any new data and info they release on follow up studies. I'll be submitting my own feedback forms post-vaccine too.

In fairness, I imagine people would lie too. What's the point in that classification? xD
