How long have Gov. Kate Brown and Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen known that each day, seniors represent the majority of people dying in this pandemic? How long have they known that vaccines were being produced at “warp speed”? How many unused vaccines have not been delivered to vulnerable Oregonians? The answers clearly show that Brown, Allen and their team have mismanaged the vaccine rollout. Oregon is near the bottom of the list of states in the percentage of vaccinations used.
Recently, our friends, who are in their 70s and live in Georgia, received their vaccination dates, which are 10 days from now. Even as Georgia held a high-profile runoff election, the state has managed to get its seniors vaccinated. Florida seniors, including the snowbirds, are being vaccinated. Brown and Allen cannot blame the federal government or any other body for their incompetence. They have vaccines, and more are coming. They should do their jobs. Cut the red tape and get the vaccines to vulnerable citizens, including Oregon’s seniors.

I guess it took an hour and a half to introduce everyone on Kate's CV19 committee. They are the ones that will determine who gets vaccinated. They wont have a concrete plan till end of January.
