Inoculating is not a posse comitatus issue. I am sure military personnel in this country would appreciate the ability to perform, if properly protected, a direct public service that would be greatly appreciated. They make up for it by having one or more of those places at virtually every big intersection. There are about 40 of them within 10 miles of me in Fumbuck Florida. They can certainly dispense this vaccine as fast as the manufacturers can produce it. If you are saying the military could spare medics and corpsmen to help out with staffing ... maybe. I wonder if that is actually true (that there is this surplus in the military) but up until now you have been telling me they are uneducated grunts and we need real board certified people to treat civilians. |

The army certainly knows how to vaccinate a large number of people in a short time - no needles required either. Wow. I don't see many of Herring's posts, but it is Biden's stated goal to have a million Americans vaccinated a day. I favor him doing whatever is necessary to achieve that goal. Further, I favor those who are inoculated being issued some sort of photo ID that indicates they have been, and that those who do not get inoculated and have an ID be kept out of public places, such as restaurants, sporting arenas, public pools, libraries, schools, et cetera, *unless* they have a serious, documented medical condition that precludes vaccination. We need a national plan, nationally implemented. The states are showing they do not have the wherewithal to get everyone inoculated. In the mid-1950s, when the Salk vaccine became available, every kid in New Haven went to the nearest public school for the shots, and I mean every kid. The inoculations were provided without charge, and those doing the injections were school nurses, doctors' office personnel, and hospital personnel, all of whom donated their time to help rid the city of new cases of polio. I've always believed in mandatory vaccinations and in the exclusion of kids from public schools who don't get vaccinated unless they have a serious medical condition that precludes it. Being "anti-vax" is not an acceptable reason. And how is Biden going to get a million a day vaccinated? The government is not making the vaccine, CDC did not develop the vaccine, when the pipeline fills up, it will not be because of who is President. You may try to,claim that, but you will be required to have proof that the President did accomplish anything to help,fill the pipeline. When the pipeline is filled, CVS, Walmart, .Costco, and grocery chains will do the vaccinations. |

And he would say something like, "This only happens if you move". I don’t know if they were new, but they got us in both arms at the same time in 1965. |

We have the infrastructure to vaccinate people, either through the local governments or through private pharmacies. We just don't have the vaccine. In that "stand in line in the rain" event last week, each location had around 300 shots. They were out in a couple hours. We don't see the news covering the stand in line on a sunny day story. (It rained here exactly once in the last couple weeks). Now they are doing it by appointment like they should have been doing all along. I guess it is the government and they don't want to discriminate against people too stupid to be able to make an appointment. They will still take a certain number of walk ins. |

I don't think we did much more than freeze for the 2 seconds they were squeezing the triggers on the guns. The line stayed moving. I think they did the whole company (100 guys) in about 5 minutes. It was just part of a pretty busy day, getting uniforms, stenciling everything, packing your sea bag, learning how to make up a military bed and such. |

I wonder if that is actually true (that there is this surplus in the military) but up until now you have been telling me they are uneducated grunts and we need real board certified people to treat civilians. === When I was in the army reserve, circa late 1960s, medics were carefully selected and well trained. Don't tell me, convince Harry. My nieces kid (Tiffany) was a navy corpsman, working as a nurse in a couple of navy hospitals and on a carrier. She still had to go to nursing school to get her civilian ticket although it was mostly just money. She tested out of a lot of her courses but she still had to buy them. My friend was a medic for Marines in Vietnam. Seemed to be well trained, later an MD and Phd in bioengineering. But I guess he was too stupid to avoid the draft. Actually he was drafted in his senior year at university San Diego, as he did not take enough credits to get a deferment. Seems as if he did better than Harry, and actually served. His next 2 tours in Vietnam was as a Phantom driver. Retired as a 32 year Marine reservist officer also. |
