Obviously
There's no evidence that Belgian hackers were responsible - isn't that suspicious?

> my wife, who does in-home elder care, was able to get vaccinated before it was widely available
Yes, the problem is that the government here was a little too rigid in their plans.
So "healthcare workers" were the priority - but this meant hospital sysadmins and medical billing office workers were being jabbed before transit or supermarket workers.
>WTF? How the heck can that work?!? Surely it should have some additional factor of identity check with it?
Well weed is legal and you can drink beer in public in the NL, so obviously they are godless commies so I assume the government forces them all to have QR codes on their foreheads
Why does the federal government need to know if I'm qualified to fly this aeroplane ?
Does the Federal government keep track of who operates a lawn mower or a model railroad ?
No they don't - now get out of the way and let me and my fake uniform onto this 737
>Nice idea, but unfortunately they tend to be the ones who refuse the vaccine
I think the point was that after vaccinating the oldest most vulnerable, instead of then doing over 65s, then over 60s etc in strict order - it might have been better to switch to vaccinating 20year olds who mix with more people.
Should probably also have considered bus drivers, fast food workers who come into contact with more people before doing all the purely admin and lab workers in hospitals who were a priority
>What happens if not enough people volunteer? When the force falls below a certain level that's the trigger to pull out?
No that's the trigger to send in a film crew to do a blockbuster movie about the heroic last stand of Chuck the last man in Afghanistan
Although it might be easier to just do in CGI.
In fact it may be easier and cheaper to do the entire war in CGI. Instead of killing lots of people, spending $Tn, achieving nothing and then 20years later making a movie about how sad your soldiers were - just shoot the entire war in Holywood
>bring home 20 year old kids with lifelong PTSD.
Make it a volunteer army.
Anybody who wants the US to maintain a military presence in Afghanistan simply has to call in at the local army base and arrange to be sent there. It would remove this silly age discrimination where 60 year olds aren't allowed to have their patriotism recognised
>Gravity: Not just a good idea - It's the law
But Einstein's theory shows Newtons Law is wrong
Quantum theory shows Einstein is wrong
Loop Quantum Gravity shows both of them are wrong
String theory might show LQG is wrong - but nobody cares because String Theory is self evidently a load of fetid dingo's kidneys
>The Polio vaccine is mandatory, at least in the US. So is the Smallpox vaccine.
Really? I thought the Smallpox vaccine was heavily restricted and was only handed out to US medics recently when there was a political scare about a terrorist bio-weapons attack (from Al-Queda's secret underground biotechnology labs)
And the polio vaccine isn't mandatory - pretty much no vaccine is mandatory in the US. Unless you are a soldier, in which case being shot at is also mandatory, so a covid jab probably isn't your biggest worry.
And they had the Playtex Bra and Girdle Seamstresses
