They're saying that some of the problems may be due to the massive hack that just happened. All sorts of vital entities, including healthcare, were targeted in the hack.

@Porcelain, don't even get me started on that. I would like to continue posting here, if you get my drift.

@lovesrecess, where are you getting this? The clinical trials did include people in their 80s. Close to 26% of the subjects in just the phase 3 clinical trial for the Pfizer vaccine included people 65 years of age and older. That age group also included those with co-morbidities and in fact performed really well at preventing disease in the older groups.

Here is a direct link to the results evaluated by the FDA for the Pfizer vaccine:

Here is the actual letter for emergency use authorization written by the FDA:

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine EUA Letter of Authorization (fda.gov)

Note it says nothing about withholding from the older age group. It is approved for individuals 16 years of age and older, with no age cut off or recommendations for older individuals.

Here is the letter of authorization from the FDA for the Moderna Vaccine:

https://www.fda.gov/media/144636/download

Note it is recommendated for individuals 18 years of age and older.

They don't have the clinical data released on the FDA website yet as far as I can tell, but here is the initial data published by Modera earlier which shows demographic breakdown of subjects, which includes older individuals:

Well, can't say I'm seeing a conspiracy under each rock, but reports in my state that those who were supposed to get the first vaccinations did not, and those who did get the first vaccinations weren't supposed to. Now we're out of vaccine because we only got, like, 37% of what was promised.

Pardon me, but I'm impatient.

It's unfortunate that even older people seem to have fallen into the "I want this yesterday" mentality. This is our immediate action era. The size, the scope, the logistics don't seem to matter. If I don't "get it now it's xyz's fault". Anyone remember the Pony Express or Wells Fargo Stage Coach Lines?

Guess the loudest and 1st to complain have never worked meticulously on a large plan for a specific day and time, and then! Something unexpected or a small detail done wrong or overlooked, and KA-BOOM!

I heard years, actually decades ago, that patience was a virtue. Not sure where I picked it up but I will credit my mother and her genetics.

I'm out, for now!
