Boiler, if you want to serve as Trump's white knight, that's your problem.
You provided NO proof that Oregon is getting its "fair share," simply because you did no research to find out what that "fair share" was or is. Therefore, your statement is meaningless.
It's very simple to find that out, though. When the first two vaccines were approved, the federal government promised a given number of doses over a given timetable. Based on those promises, Oregon authorities set up a vaccine prioritization system: healthcare and other essential workers, people 65 or older, then the rest of the population. Then, only 40% of what was promised arrived. The shortfall in vaccines means that now, only people 80 or older are being vaccinated.
The Biden administration is slowly fixing this Trump screwup, which is why the numbers look relatively OK now. But if not for Trump, we'd be able to vaccinate all seniors at this point, and begin vaccinating the general population in mid-April.
Trump botched all this. Trump didn't give a shit. Trump didn't do his job. Trump has killed tens of thousands of people who would have survived had we not had an incompetent narcissist in office. You may continue to worship him if you choose.
Kevin, the link that I posted allowes one to find how many doses each state has receieved. It also shows how many people in each state who are eligible to receive the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines............these are people over 18 years of age.
Do a touch of leg work, and you will confirm what I already have. Oregon, New York, California and other Liberal states are all getting their fair share. They are getting no more per capita than Texas, West Virginia, Indiana to name a few.
Going through life in such a hateful way must be tedious for you.
