As vaccine demand falls, states are left with huge stockpile
The Associated Press ^ | March 3, 2022 | By JENNIFER McDERMOTT

As demand for COVID-19 vaccines collapses in many areas of the U.S., states are scrambling to use stockpiles of doses before they expire and have to be added to the millions that have already gone to waste.

From some of the least vaccinated states, like Indiana and North Dakota, to some of the most vaccinated states, like New Jersey and Vermont, public health departments are shuffling doses around in the hopes of finding providers that can use them.

State health departments told The Associated Press they have tracked millions of doses that went to waste, including ones that expired, were in a multi-dose vial that couldn’t be used completely or had to be tossed for some other reason like temperature issues or broken vials.

Nearly 1.5 million doses in Michigan, 1.45 million in North Carolina, 1 million in Illinois and almost 725,000 doses in Washington couldn’t be used.

The percentage of wasted doses in California is only about 1.8%, but in a state that has received 84 million doses and administered more than 71 million of them, that equates to roughly 1.4 million doses. Providers there are asked to keep doses until they expire, then properly dispose of them, the California Department of Public Health said.

“People are on to that poison.”

...took long enough. For some, it’s too late. States offered cash, dinners out, Opportunities to meet such popular stars as Barbara Streisand and Whoopie Goldberg. Nothing worked. Hahahahahaha

I think this was Truedope's problem in Canada. He was in to deep,he owed a lot of people, and couldn't give in to the citizens.

I’d like to assume that most people are catching on to the scam, but who knows. I have a very wealthy relative, with 2 master degrees and a law degree from an ivy league university who can’t wait to get his 4th injection. I’ve sent him numerous research papers and have tried my best to enlighten him, but he just blows it all off and says he trusts the system. Apparently he can’t believe that his own doctor might steer him wrong on this, and all the antivaxxers are kooks. He’s just another covid zombie at this point. Science isn’t exactly his forte’, so he leaves everything to the “experts” to sort things out. I imagine there are many out there just like him.

Regular dumping could contaminate ground water, but we see no Greenies making noise.

And what about al the ChiCom Face Diapers that schools and other organizatiosns stockpiled?

Good post—I know folks like that as well.

“Trust” is a luxury that can no longer be afforded.

Some dupes are just gonna have to learn the hard way.
