I'm sure that depends on who you ask. I certainly view this as a failed attempt at saving lives.

  It's not clear that it's really about anything. Nearly everyone in charge seems to just be going through the motions, filling their assigned role, without stepping back to think about what the goals are or how they can best be achieved. CDPH says that they authorized these clinics to begin setting up on December 28, which means with the standard 2 week lead time they could open on January 11 - the obvious question of why there should be a 2 week lead time, why vaccinations can't begin the very next day, does not appear to have been acknowledged or addressed.

Or...this is hard? And the long majority of long term care facilities were just turned on for vaccines? And doing consent and paperwork and injections with the elderly is slow? And there has been a huge reporting lag, because the priority is giving shots? This doesn’t feed a conspiracy theory because it’s evidence. It feeds a conspiracy because it’s information and a conspiracy theory treats all information as proof it’s true.

One state's poor performance in handling vaccine distribution proves [none of the vaccination efforts are] about saving lives?

Why don't you say exactly what you are trying to imply.

Maybe you'll change your tune when everyone who wants to get a vaccine will have one by the time 2021 is over.
