They're being downvoted because they're wrong. >On Dec. 22, Dr. Gokal joined a conference call in which state health officials explained the protocols for administering the recently approved Moderna vaccine. The 10 or 11 doses in a vial are viable for six hours after the seal is punctured. >Dr. Gokal said the advice was to vaccinate people eligible under the 1(a) category (health care workers and residents in long-term-care facilities), then those under the 1(b) category (people over 65 or with a health condition that increases risk of severe Covid-related illness). >After that, he said, the message was: “Just put it in people’s arms. We don’t want any doses to go to waste. Period.” What he did was explicitly ordered by the government. It is what the health department told everybody to do, in no uncertain terms.
