Texas and Florida are bucking Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on distributing the vaccine, choosing to focus more on vaccinating vulnerable populations.
Texas announced on Monday that it was breaking with CDC advice on who should receive the vaccine in early rounds of vaccinations. The CDC had recommended that after nursing home residents and healthcare workers, states should prioritize the elderly and workers deemed essential in sectors such as agriculture and education.
While Texas is still in the beginning round of vaccinations going to healthcare workers and long-term care facilities, it will prioritize the most vulnerable to COVID-19 when it moves to the next phase in a matter of weeks.
“The state of Texas will prioritize people who are at the greatest risk of severe disease and death from COVID-19 for the next phase of vaccination,” the Texas Department of Health and Human Services said in a press release. “More than 70 percent of COVID-19 deaths in Texas have occurred in people 65 and older, and scientific evidence shows that adults of any age with certain medical conditions have an increased risk of hospitalization and death if they get sick with COVID-19.”
“The state is currently in Phase 1A of vaccine distribution, which includes residents of long-term care facilities and front-line health care workers. With an estimated 1.9 million Texans in those groups, it will likely be at least a few weeks before a transition to Phase 1B occurs,” the release continued. “The timing will depend on the amount of vaccine provided to Texas and the uptake of vaccine among the priority populations.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that his state would follow a similar vaccination process, prioritizing those most vulnerable to the virus before moving on to other populations.

Coronavirus PING!
The CDC works for Trump. Why doesn’t he order them to prioritize the most vulnerable?
and you expect them to listen?
They would probably just do the opposite for being ornery.
What a novel concept, gives a vaccine to the people most likely to be severely affected or possibly die from coronavirus first, is there other people who may not even know they have it or think they just have a minor cold.
For eons it has been standard medical ethics, following Christian moral teaching, to give scarce medicine to those who need it the most. That would be the elderly, and those with obesity, heart conditions etc.
Today we’ve thrown that out the window, giving it instead to the powerful and the Politically correct.
Congress, Pence, Fauci, Biden, governors, cops, firement, teachers, the military, government employees, healthcare bureaucrats.
Good point. Where is Trump?
His CDC is promoting barbaric practices.
The head of the CDC is a political appointee. Trump can fire him. Why hasn’t he?
Maybe because he’s been busy trying to save the Republic and prevent Civil War II?
i am still trying to figure out how to get ivermectin in a safe and legal way that does not involve horse paste
Seeing some claims that you can ask for a Dr that will prescribe it through https://speakwithanmd.com/
i think this is the one that Corsi has on his website.
not sure yet if you have to have covid to get it
I would like to have it on hand so I can take it right away
God bless Texas and Florida!
California is bass ackwards. We found out yesterday that the new Calif plan puts 65-75yo’ds in the same category as over 16’s.
Considering the vaccine is now said to not prevent infection but only to lessen symptoms, and the ‘ccpvirus phase 2’ first seen in SoAf, then SouthUK, then France, now Los Angeles, it might be prudent to watch the trials for interferon beta nasal inhalable delivered thru a nebulizer. Which gives 80 percent symptom lessening, especially in breathlessness. Interferon beta is naturally produced by the body and so adverse reactions should be negligible.

You don’t understand how the administrative state works. It is very, very difficult to fire civil service federal employees (bordering on impossible).
The President can’t just go in and fire civil service employees.
They ... do ... what ... they ... want.
Hence why there is a deep state and why there has been 4 years of resistance to President Trump.
have you heard why how it is more transmissible?..in laymans terms.
like it gives off more viral load or lasts longer in the air...etc
“ You don’t understand how the administrative state works. “
Doesn’t the director of CDC serve at the president’s pleasure?
It doesn’t matter who the directors of any agency are. The minions who actually run the government have civil service protection.
The deep state isn’t primarily the agency heads, it’s the tens of thousands of lower level government employees who have the shield of civil service protection.
The same pieces of filth that have turned Virginia blue.
Spike protein mutations along with one more:
“A preliminary analysis of the new variant found changes to the spike protein, which the virus uses to access cells in the human body. Researchers also found another mutation, an H69/V70 deletion, that makes survivors’ coronavirus antibodies less effective at attacking the virus. “
there are now two mutations out of Africa, one out of SAf and one out of Nigeria
Seriously, at this date, you’re wondering that there are still swamp creatures that are too numerous to rid by single firings?
thanks
ivermectin source bookmark
Anti-parasite medications for canines have it. Just Be sure to check for other active ingredients that may be harmful.
The most vulnerable?
What a unique and innovative concept!
