Getting The Big Picture: Vaccinations

You've seen and heard we're all in this together. If only we were.

The slow roll out of COVID 19 vaccine can be attributed to the absence of a unified plan. There's a lack of understanding of the big picture when it comes to inoculating 300 million people.

There is resistance to any sort of national guidance or plan for the distribution of the COVID 19 vaccine. The fear is of the slippery slope to communism, or the fulfillment of a conspiracy theory. 

The lack of planning and guidance is actually leading to delays and unnecessary suffering and death.

• One reason the U.S. is falling behind in its coronavirus vaccination campaign: Federal officials left much of the planning to overstretched local health officials and hospitals. “We’ve taken the people with the least amount of resources,” one expert said, “and asked them to do the hardest part of the vaccination.” NY Times

• We are all a part of something much greater. We are all interconnected. Nothing we do is done in a vacuum. Alone, I can do my part. Together, we can do so much more. I'm looking forward to a collaboration of communities in 2021.
