My citation of the state's progress is that they've distributed just about all the available vaccine they could. The state isn't failing - the vaccine supply (which was misrepresented by previous administration) is what is failing. You can't use what you don't have.
As for some getting second whilst others can't get the first? The second shot is pre-alloocated for the purpose after the frost is given. It has to be. The second shot is to be given 3 wks (4 wks for Moderna) after the first. That's what's been studied/authorized. To delay it so that more people can get their first shot would be asinine to a high degree. It is not know if a delay would weaken the effect - possibly, if delay is long enough, useless (start again?). So why risk wasting what you have available to satisfy the "me me me" of those who've not yet been vaccinated? To win their damn votes? Remember, too, that in all likelihood, those who get properly vaccinated (both doses) are also protecting us who are still waiting by reducing the number of carriers.
There's a problem with you having to wait but its a supply side problem more than anything else

Quote: I find it funny that people can get their second vaccination, and most can't even get their first. There was a talking head on TV yesterday, who was trying to make a case that the second shots should be delayed, so that all who want the vaccine should at least get their first shot. But he based his argument on fake facts: That the second shot works better the longer it is delayed. However, he could offer no proof of this statement.

Hey, you got your vaccine. be happy. move on. I don't fault you for it. You are in the highest risk group there is.
I am 49 with pre-existing medical issues. If I did not have pre-existing medical issues, I would not get the vaccine. Call me what you want, but that is how I feel.

Depends on who you are trying to convince. The majority of people want to be vaccinated but can’t due to supply limitations etc.
The people who don’t want vaccinations are not the type of people who use logic, statistics appropriately or even use facts for their decision making.

Some of the most intelligent people I know, don't want the vaccine.
Be extremely careful who "put down" because they don't want the vaccine.

(You should know someone would reply this way - at least I've relieved you of the tension of waiting).

That number you quote is amongst the most persuasive proofs of that quotation I've ever seen.

Do you accept or reject requests from strangers?
I get the occasional request from a recruiter, which I'll sometimes accept if I'm in the market for a new job. I also get requests from people I've never met, which to me is weird, but could be an opportunity for a new job as well I guess?
Edit:
Conversely - do you send out requests to people you don't know?

I have lots of fun with those: I start holding them to a 1 hour turnaround (or so) ... then delete / block them if they don't abide by "my rules".
Some people "invite" everybody under the sun. Some people just love wasting your time. Or treat you like a serf. YMMV.

I get requests from recruiters at least twice week. In the old days I was happy to accept them as I thought they were being friendly - and could, maybe, be useful getting a new post. However, I am in the position of being very happy where I am with no intention of moving anywhere - so now my attitude is less charitable.
Is this selfish? Perhaps... Whatever, this is the real world of dog eat dog - although my puppy prefers ice-cream!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

This happens to me all the time.
Answer is it depends. If they are in a field I am curious about or something along that line. Sure I will accept their request. I still feel weird about it though.
If they are a recruiter and I am looking. Sure. In my current position though. I am not looking and I am called a 'manager' (ugh) so I get recruiters trying to get someone placed at my company all the time. This gets to be annoying sooooo, I don't accept those anymore at all. Just a universal block on them. Perhaps if I am ever looking again. Perhaps.

I rarely get new request.
Most of the time I accept them because they are related to my job.
I reject all recruiters (or stall them out), and I reject really unrelated requests
