Is this going to be the norm?

Today:

Putnam County Health Department

We have vaccinated the majority of our scheduled individuals and at this time have extra doses available that we need to administer today to avoid expiration. If you are a Missouri resident and meet the state criteria for Phase 1A or Phase 1B you may come and receive vaccine. Our clinic is at 803 South 20th Street at the PC-R1 School. Vaccine will be on a first come first served basis until our supply is depleted.

Thanks for your stellar planning and leadership, Mike?

Yesterday at 11:56 AM ·
4:40 p.m. UPDATE: 648 shots administered. 1,302 still available.
3:25 p.m. UPDATE: 517 shots have been administered so far. They started with 1,950.
Update: At 3 p.m. ANYONE can go get the COVID vaccine at the Knights of Columbus. The health department has opened it up to anyone to avoid wasting the vaccine.
A mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic is happening right now in Bollinger County at the Knights of Columbus in Leopold. Officials say they still have over 1,000 doses to give out. No appointment is necessary, but you can register before hand at MOStopsCOVID.com/navigator. The event goes until 5pm today. KFVS-TV

Bollinger County, Missouri has a population of a little over 12,000.

Some of the comments:

4:40 pm update: 648 shots administered. 1,302 still available

this is insanity. Can you find out what they’ll do with the leftover vaccine? Possibly send them to St. Louis?

I just got this answered! I was told they will not go to waste. They will be transferred to another agency following MO DHSS protocols!

So many thanks! My daughter made a mad dash, two and a half hours on a moment’s notice hoping that a shot might be there and it WAS!!!

What percentage of the population isn’t able to drop everything and make a mad dash? Just asking.

Thanks so much for the great lead! My daughter (an educator) is rushing there but coming from STL is still a couple of hours away. If anyone gets there and finds they’re out of vaccine, I’d appreciate an update so I could keep her from driving the rest of the way.

Can you confirm address? I’m struggling to find the exact location

This wasn’t advertised well. I live 15 miles from there and didn’t know it was open to the public. I have been waiting for a vaccine for over a month. I have had two appointments that were canceled. I Amon a waiting list. Frustrating!

Missouri town with 65 residents receives nearly 2,000 vaccines for reasons unknown
February 25, 2021 Lucie Krisman

A mass vaccination clinic in Leopold, MO operated on a first-come-first-serve basis yesterday due to overallocation.

Gov. Mike Parson allocated almost 2,000 vaccines for the clinic. The Bollinger County town’s population of 65 did not fulfill that allocation, leading the health department to open the clinic up to anyone who wanted to be vaccinated.

[….]

In today’s COVID-19 press conference update, Gov. Mike Parson was asked if instances like this one, where rural counties have more shots than people showing up to get them, are a waste of vaccine.

“I’m not aware of that,” Parson says in response to the assertion that almost 66% of the clinic’s vaccines went unused. “Maybe you know more than what I evidently do, because I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

Killer defense, Mike. Great job.

While St. Louisans wait, rural vaccination events in Missouri have leftover doses
Governor Parson again defends vaccine distribution

EFFERSON CITY, MO (KMOX) -A Wednesday mass vaccination event in southeast Missouri’s Bollinger County, that saw only 648 of 1,950 available doses administered, has Missouri Governor Mike Parson defending the state’s distribution plan. Parson denied again that rural areas are getting more than their fair share of the vaccine. “The formula is the same wherever it is,” he says. “It’s based on the population where you are at so there’s nobody in rural Missouri getting vaccinated any more than anyone in urban areas. It’s just not happening.”

A state spokesperson says the 13 hundred doses that were not given out at the event, were sent to a major pharmacy in the area so they could be administered.

Thursday in northwestern Missouri, some 1,100 doses were sent to ta mass vaccination event in Princeton, Mo. Only 401 shots were given out Wednesday.

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].

Today on Facebook:

Governor Mike Parson
This Christmas, let’s work to keep our families, our neighbors, and ALL Missourians safe during the pandemic. This means social distancing, wearing a mask, and washing your hands, not just one of these, but all three.
Be responsible. Avoid large gatherings and crowds. Limit interactions to less than 15 minutes. We know our actions DO make an impact. This is a critical time for our state, so let’s do our best to protect one another.
[…]

Some of the responses:

We’re not all Christians, Mike, keep your preaching to your personal page.

free speech. Not everyone is an atheist or or religion

and he is representing a government office which, by the constitution, means that he may not show favor to any one religion.

well I am and I want to hear it and give thanks. If you don’t like it simply log off

hah you have no authority either.

nah but the constitution does ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

well the constitution was written by Christians. Duh

good for you, go to church

well the constitution prohibits the government from favoring any one religion. Duh

ok take god off the almighty dollar

yes please. It was added in the 50s, like with the pledge.

bah humbug

I celebrate Christmas. That doesn’t mean I give my representatives a pass for violating the constitution.

sin e you don’t believe,,,it doesn’t exist, shouldn’t bother you in the least ,,,so move on,,,,,

I believe the constitution exists,,,so I won’t move on,,,

as I’ve pointed out multiple times, it prohibits favoring any one religion. See the Establishment Clause.

if you’ll notice in my original comment I suggested the governor post his personal beliefs on his personal page. This page represents his office.

it’s part of who he. Like I mentioned before if you don’t like it just log off

and like I’ve mentioned, that’s not how government representation works. If my representative is not following the constitution, I’m well within my right to express that and demand he do better.

all religion besides Christianity will get you thrown into hell fire.

That’s good to know.

I don’t care. That’s for church, not government offices.

I disagree

yeah, with the constitution.

Another thread:

5,000 dead Missourians. Failed leadership.

was he supposed to wipe your nose for you? Take care of yourself or move to one of the nanny states.

don’t worry.
Pelosi made sure you got 600 bucks. And illegal aliens get 1800.

WTF?

And 500 monthly in accidents car. 4000 a month in abortion. And all the killing 500 get real

those numbers simply are not true… MO averages about 700 or so auto fatalities EACH YEAR, not 500 a month… And who knows where you pulled that abortions number from… you’re clueless and a bit incoherent.

Take it up with China

Do you complain about flu deaths every year?

Now that you ask, yes.

yes because one man can control the actions of millions of people as well as a microscopic virus that was man made by Fauci in China.

could have done those 3 things 7 months ago. Could have worn masks and avoided public gatherings and social events with no masks. That’s a start. Failed leadership. Answer that

ot is called individual responsibility for your own actions. Freedom means there are consequences to choices and each must pay the toll for their own choices. If you want government control move to Germany, they are inspecting houses to be sure people never leave and fining them 500 Euros if people are not home when inspected.

Yes, but people are paying the toll for other people’s choices.

noone is paying a toll for anyone’s choice but their own. Avoid hotspoylts and danger zones and you will be fine if you keep yourself clean, get rest, exercise and stay away from people you ou do not know.
Everyone but me in my family is high risk and noone has gotten it yet because we have all been careful.

Not everyone has the luxury of staying away from people they don’t know. There are elderly and compromised people that are still in the work force. I know of an Amish woman who got it and she never leaves the community (she survived, at least).

Another thread:

You are in a secular office of the people. Not all of them are Christian. Do not use your public office to make wishes of just one religion. You have not noted Hannukah, Diwali, Kawanza, or Yule or any other winter Holidays. If you are only going to mention the holiday of your religion put it on your personal page.

Has reading comprehension issues:

obviously you know nothing about our constitution or what it was patterned on or what guidelines it followed. Try reading Leviticus in your Bible if you have one. It was based on Godly, biblical principles. And Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of Christ. Other holidays have their own dates, so let them celebrate then.

Christmas isn’t a Christian holiday, it’s a pagan holiday.

hah. You have no authority.

WTF?

as a constituent I can ask that my leaders respect the people, and follow both the State and federal constitution. Based on your view, you have no power either, so what it the point of that statement?
[….]
…Yule is the Pagan Holiday. Christmas, specifically in the context of the Governor’s post is a Christian Holiday. It celebrates the birth of Christ. Hence the name Christ-Mass. As both a member of the Pagan Clergy, and having a degree in Religious Studies, I am a bit of an expert on this.

Whatever faith you are you must not observe kindness and not judging others!!!

High ideals. No follow through.

ah shut up. Read, view and pass if you can’t say something nice go protest somewhere else!

No, our constitution was not based on Biblical principles. You need to drop your Bible and read a factual history book. Here’s a real shocker for you, the people of Israel aren’t Christian and neither was Jesus.

once again you take something out of context. Did I say that America was a Christian nation. NO…I did not. I said it our constitution was based on Biblical principles, which in fact was given to Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Read your Bible.

clearly you missed the post where he wished Happy Hannukah

the point is that Parson is only acknowledging one religion/religious holiday, and marginalizing other religions..

I didn’t take anything out of context. Maybe you need to return to school and quit reading the Bible.
The constitution protects your right to read the Bible, but is not based on Bible teachings.

yes! We are all free to worship who and how we please and our leaders should not be representing their personal beliefs. He should keep it to his personal page, not as the Governor

Democracy = majority rules over the minority. Majority voted him into office. He can express his religion as he likes whether in office, or after hours. If you wish to control others that much, go to a communist country.

WTF?

I do have authority. Given to me by Christ Jesus. I may be an expert too. Since I have an associate degree in theology and working on my bachelors degree. Your either for Jesus or your against Him.

one nation under God. Kick rocks…

Stay in school, kids.

Another thread:

Now the governor tries his hand at preaching to deflect from his gross lack of pandemic leadership, all the while chomping at the bit to get the vaccines going to somehow compensate for coronavirus deaths on his watch.

no worries you’re going to get your free $600. Born to live: live to die. Get a life lady.

get a life. He sure as hell didn’t cause the virus and what about you take care of yourself? I took care of myself. Didn’t wait around for anyone to tell me how to take care of myself.

“He sure as hell didn’t cause the virus”. Whoa that’s got to be yet another Parson level diversion quote. “Take care of myself”? Unfortunately not everyone in Missouri has that absolute luxury. Plenty have to get out in the public to earn a living and when the other do not use Covid precautions they expose the virus and infect others. Selfish Parson doesn’t want to require the mask to protect others obviously because it would hurt him politically. Instead, he diverts by preaching masking at us.

if you then think a mask protects you, then wear one. It does not need to be government mandated.

Uh, it protects others. Sociopath.

be happy for once!

It’s hard to “be happy” when infected Missourians are cramming our hospital beds and when Covid eats their lives away.

Mike Parson has done an excellent job. Probably why he was re-elected by the majority.

you make stupid look natural

if a mask can’t protect YOU, then how is it supposed to protect others? And there are millions of mask wearers, yet the numbers aren’t going down. Why? Because it’s a virus…only a good immune system can fight a virus. An continually worn masks deplete your own immune system. And fyi, I wear one where required, but am not stupid enough to wear in in my own car alone with windows rolled up, or outside in my yard with no one around. This is not about a virus. It’s about government control. Wake up!

This in definitely not the American Century.

Again, assumes facts not in evidence

Chutzpah.

Governor Mike Parson (r) [2018 file photo].

Yesterday:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
I want ALL Missourians to know that if you are sick, we will take care of you.
9:17 AM · Dec 8, 2020

Some of the responses:

What are YOU doing to take care of ALL Missourians? Have you implemented Medicaid expansion? Have you prevented rural hospitals from closing? Have you slowed down COVID transmission?

I’d much rather know that you will help prevent me from getting sick. You know… be preventative with masks instead of reactionary with ICU beds. Crazy talk, eh?

Nurses willl take care of you. This man won’t. Blame him when you can’t find a nurse to be at your bedside.

As my husband gets ready to go to work in the hospital today I want you to know that you are a disgrace to the office of Governor of Missouri. We are drowning out here and you claim to be saving us. Gtfoh.

Remember when you wouldn’t support expanding Medicaid? I’ll wait

Ummmmm….actually not so much.

How did you feel after touring Covid units at hospitals in Missouri? Oh wait, that hasn’t happened yet.

‘Republicans campaigned hard against [medicaid] expansion, with Parson among the most outspoken in opposition.’

Have a statewide mask mandate and watch those numbers go down. Look at Australia, NZ and Taiwan. They’re about back to normal. This is a Failure!

Japan has 20 times Missouri’s population, but has 50% less Covid deaths. They wear masks and their leaders don’t downplay the virus.

… but we won’t do anything to stop you from getting sick.

fixed it for you.

you’re welcome.

So far away from the reality of normal people, he thinks you can just get medical care without coverage, and doesn’t understand what “medical bankruptcy” is. Prevention, not an option in his world, either.

You heard it here people, just send your medical bills to Gov. Parson. He’s going to take care of it. /s

With all due respect, this is a misleading tweet. We need staff to run those vents and take care of those beds. I work for a busy Level 1 Trauma Center and personally haven’t accepted an ICU patient in weeks. Missourians are going to Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, etc for care.

“We’ll take care of you”

But only once we actively make ensure that every citizen of Missouri contracts COVID by refusing to do any preventative measures in order to serve our Wall Street donors and sociopathic political ideology.

Can you please also focus on PREVENTING us from getting sick? It is no comfort that help only starts if I get covid. I would prefer to be in a place that prioritizes prevention over emergency medical care.

When is Medicaid expansion going into effect?
A lot of us lost a job this year and find ourselves in the hole where we can’t get Medicaid AND we can’t get any subsidies on the marketplace to afford insurance, so we’re totally screwed.

.. go on… ? Explain how you are actually doing this. Rural & urban areas are overwhelmed this week. Use that CARES money to help suffering people.

Covid is a complete disaster for the rural Midwest and was largely due to your political pandering and inaction. This message is a false promise and we still have no actionable strategies or plans in place. What should we do? Really, make a call.

What if instead you, I don’t know, implemented a mandate that would, just maybe, keep more people safe….so you didn’t HAVE to take care of us. Because what you are saying is not what the healthcare professionals are saying.

That’s a lie. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Remember that oldie but goodie, Mike? This statement is some of your worst lip service yet! MANDATE MASKS like the healthcare workers of this state have been begging you to.

It’s almost as if we’ve mismanaged our way into Medicare for All.

But, as the Post Dispatch reports you continue , and only God knows why, to ignore state wide mitigation efforts, thereby contributing to the continuing spread of Covid in Missouri. This is unbelievable incompetence and dereliction of duty Sir.

Sadly, Missouri elected the Governor it deserves.

Except the seniors who are being held as prisoners and away from their family because of your negligence and incompetence. You will be older one day Governor but as a Christian I will not want the same to be done to you for what you have allowed to be done to them.

Here’s a CRAZY idea, do more to KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING SICK with a mask mandate. And I wonder how many people will get sick from your Governor’s Mansion open house? It’s great that you open it to the people of Missouri at Christmas but NOT DURING A PANDEMIC IN A RED COUNTY!

How about putting a plan in place so that people aren’t as likely to get sick and have to go to the hospital. Maybe be proactive instead of reactive when dealing with a deadly pandemic.

How about covering us before we get sick?

That’s great, but when are you going to address the lack of rural hospitals or your lack of action throughout most of the pandemic or even not implementing Medicaid expansion? Words are meaningless without action, Mr. Governor.

Notice he doesn’t reassure that we have enough properly trained critical care physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists.

So you’re going to be volunteering next to nurses in COVID wards to make sure everyone is taken care of?

Oh god, I think I’d rather take my chances w understaffed, overworked nurses than gov heehaw. Thanks for the nightmares

Is that why you fought Medicaid expansion? Here’s a novel idea, why don’t you do something that might PREVENT us from getting sick? LIKE A MASK MANDATE

You kicked thousands of kids off Medicaid.

Oh, that’s a relief. What’s the address of the governor’s mansion for forwarding of ginormous medical bills?

You covering medical expenses too?

Given the republican parties response to Covid19 “take care of you” sounds like a threat.

This tweet is like me telling my kids its OK to play with broken glass because we’ve got plenty of bandaids.

Governor, thank you for not giving in to the pearl clutchers and forcing face diapers on us.

Science!

So where do I send my medical bills?🖒

Fact check: this is false.

You need a better stand up routine.

Take care of Missourians how? Free body bag?

By closing rural hospitals?

All?! That sounds pretty… universal.

Is this a joke? Missouri’s handling of COVID has been an embarrassing disaster.

I mean, YOU aren’t taking care of anyone

Making this post takes nerve I’ve never seen before.

Chutzpah.

Then act like it.

And on and on.

It has to be that.

In our mail this week from Uniting Missouri, an extremely well-funded right wingnut PAC propping up Missouri Governor Mike Parson (r):

“Law and order” – Uh, who’s been in charge in Missouri? You know, like the current governor, almost all of the statewide office holders, and the General Assembly? It’s going that well?

“Election and postal experts recommend returning your absentee or mail ballot NOW to ensure timely arrival” – They must really believe weir awl stoopit. Has this ever been an issue before? Again, who’s been in charge? Who ordered the dismantling of sorting machines across the country? Who was that?

“Getting back to normal” – “Yes…we are OPEN, welcome” – We notice the proprietor of the establishment (probably a stock photo) isn’t wearing a mask. How convenient. No, thank you.

From the Missouri DHSS COVID-19 Dashboard, October 16, 2020:

Back to the address side of the mail piece:

“St. Louis Post Dispatch ‘Absentee Voters Surge'” – Not particularly subtle, is it?

“Join your neighbors” – Even less subtle.
