City Health Department is wasting doses and vac sites are fugazi

 

 

 NY Post

 The city’s 15 vaccination hubs were ghost towns last Saturday, and the city Department of Health is refusing to reveal just how bad distribution went.

One DOH staffer stationed at the Hillcrest High School hub in Queens on Jan. 30 said he did nothing all day.

“You cannot imagine how much nothing it was,” he said of the demoralizing day.

He said there were about 70 workers on hand — some earning overtime pay for 12-hour shifts — and about 10 people to vaccinate.

The worker said several appeals were made to DOH officials to be able to vaccinate people without appointments, and they were denied. He said the hubs had about 400 to 700 doses.

“We could have used that day to vaccinate thousands of people … and we just blew it,” he said

As desperate New Yorkers scramble to get the COVID-19 vaccine, one Brooklyn clinic stood largely devoid of recipients Saturday morning.

A video of the vaccination hub at Abraham Lincoln High School in Coney Island showed plenty of gowned workers ready to jab arms and few, if any, patients.

“This is crazy. This is nuts. This is insane,” a woman can be heard saying in the video as the camera pans empty vaccination stations. It was tweeted by Councilman Mark Treyger, who said it came from a worker at the site.

A furious Treyger, who represents Coney Island, called the situation “unacceptable.”

“There is no excuse for what happened today,” he said.

The city Department of Health blamed the problem on its website not being updated “to show that there is availability,” Treyger said.

Interesting how a system that managed WWII seamlessly, built 20th-century highways across a continent, sent people to the moon, can no longer do much of anything without it looking like 3rd world confusion.

Well, the really good and really important thing is that we have gone woke on these things, removed the problem people from the equation, and now run everything with useful mushrooms.

And that dimension trumps everything else.

Is the quality (or the lack thereof) of the leadership.

Best morons money can buy!

Look at that bright side: All those vaccination workers standing around doing nothing have received training in: sexual harassment, cultural sensitivity, White privilege, proper pronoun usage, and memorization of all 72 genders.

Because back then, only people who could get the job done ran the show, and they were held accountable if the job was done wrong. Nowadays having the best most capable person to run the show is not important. The only thing that matters is if we have someone who is diverse, woke, and politically correct enough in that spot. If they are completely incapable of doing the job, it doesn't matter, as long as the diversity and political correct boxes are checked off on that hire. And because of this we all suffer.

This has been terribly ran. How does Hillcrest high school run out of covid shot appointments supposedly but then throw alot away and then they open up Yankee stadium as a mega site? Something is very wrong with the way these vaccines are being given out. And there is no sites in northeast queens. None in Littles neck, Douglaston, east flushing or parts of Whitestone? Meanwhile, they nixed citifield for now too? Their distribution is terribly ran. Then they complain that most Hispanic and black people aren't getting the vaccines but have they ever thought that most of the people who are eligible for the shot to begin with are older populations? Which means that it would make sense that you would see more elderly white people getting the shot because whites who live in nyc in general are older than those that are black and Hispanic? Its a proven fact that whites have the more elderly population of people in the usa and Hispanics have the more younger population of people in the usa. But of course, the media made that a race thing even though the facts are all there when it comes to age population within the races. And they even put all the vaccination sites in "minority" (which isn't the minority anymore in nyc) neighborhoods.

Snake Plissken : 24 hours, huh?
Bob Hauk : I'm making you an offer.
Snake Plissken : Bullshit!
Bob Hauk : Straight just like I said.
Snake Plissken : I'll think about it.
Bob Hauk : No time. Give me an answer.
Snake Plissken : Get a new mayor!

When do the vaccination riots begin?

Think "Soylent Green" when they ran out of the title product-"The scoops are coming. The scoops are coming!" bellowed the riot control police.

Fun fact-"Soylent Green" was set in the far off future year of 2022. Looks like they nailed down the future (and our dismal present) quite well-only the details vary.

Good for him. He and his REGIME were installed properly.

Would make Tammany Hall blush.

Waiting for Kamala to take over. Maybe AOC can be her VP.

Does anyone know if Nanzi was sober for at least one day in the past 10 years?
