AKA Too Dumb To Pour Piss Out Of A Boot
by Bob Walsh
It seems that the fuck-up fairy must really love the formerly great state of California because s/he sure visits here a lot.
It
seems that the state is very badly undercounting the people who are
actually getting the shots. It is kind of hard to know how much vaccine
you really need if you have no idea how much of it you have already
given out. In many areas they are undercounting by one out of every
three shot recipients.
The
Director of the state Dept. of Public Health, Dr. Tomas Aragon, has
admitted to data errors and asserted that the state is working to
correct them. I guess he didn't get the memo. It says, "Admit Nothing.
Deny Everything. Demand Proof. If proof is presented call it lies,
obfuscation and information taken out of context and deny some more."
Even
the God-Emperor, Gavin Newsom, has admitted that the errors exist. I
expect he is trying to avoid being blamed as he looks recall in the
face.
It is truly
remarkable but in a state full of very bright people (very few of who
work in government) you would think that they would be able to find
somebody willing to take this on and do a decent job, for the good of
the people if for no other reason.
However,
it isn't a total loss. The state is punting and turning vaccine
distribution data collection and processing over to Blue Shield. Maybe
then the state will actually know how badly they are fucking it up..

As of yesterday Galveston County had inoculated 20% of it's population not to include people who are out of county residents. An interesting tid-bit concerns the BOI's. There are estimated to be nearly 1000 people who live on Galveston Island and have never ventured on the mainland of Texas. These people were Born on the Island. Most BOI's are elderly. “For some reason, going across that bridge is a huge barrier,” Tobon-Stevens, executive director of St. Vincent's House said, in reference to the Galveston Causeway. “They do not want to leave Galveston.” St. Vincent's House has arranged to give BOI's Covid-19 shots on the island and even make contact with those without internet about the vaccine availability. Years ago the state driver's license office moved off the island. BOI's refused to venture to nearby Texas City to renew their licenses. Galveston Police would not write BOI's tickets. After a few years and under pressure from a State Senator the state DL office was moved back on the island.
