Trying to distribute 750 vaccines for the entire city of houston through a call center was completely bananas. When I heard about it I assumed they had tens of thousands of doses. https://twitter.com/sylvesterturner/status/1345388858624647168
There’s a deadly pandemic. The City is passing out vaccines. Literally hundreds of thousands of people in Houston fall into Texas’s 1b priority (everyone has a BMI > 30). Call center???
I’ve been very positive about Houston leadership during the pandemic. But … let’s not do it this way.
Also, as a person with a qualifying BMI, yeah for including obesity in high priority, but that seems like the wrong path in a state with a lot of obese people.
Happy to look at evidence I’m wrong.
Like, do y’all not know our most famous dishes involve a lot of calories ?
Having said that, it would be a fine way to quickly reduce deaths if we had plenty of vaccine. But with so few it’s an issue.
