Let's Stop Throwing Out the Vaccines, And Get Them Into People!

Dear Hyde Parkers ...

Please consider joining in the new movement to scrap those "Priority Lists" for vaccinating people for Covid-19: It turns out that vaccines are being thrown out, because the Priority Lists are preventing all the available vaccines from being used. CNN reported this, this morning.

We must use all available vaccine as fast as possible ... the way to do that is to vaccinate everyone who wants to be vaccinated now ... including all students who want the vaccine, all teachers who want the vaccine ... everyone who wants it. Vaccines should be available now at all Walgreens, all CVS, all gyms, all stadiums, and such.

Here is my letter of this morning to the Mayor, Governor, and Senator Durbin. -Sid, Patch Mayor for Hyde Park Patch:

Subject: End priority categories ... Available to all
To: Lori Lightfoot <lori.lightfoot@cityofchicago.org>, JB Pritzker <GovernorsOffice@illinois.gov>, Ka Yee C. Lee <provost@uchicago.edu>
Cc: Senator Richard J. Durbin <correspondence_reply@durbin.senate.gov>, President Robert J Zimmer <President@uchicago.edu>, Kenneth Polonsky - Executive Vice President of the University for Biology and Medicine <polonsky@bsd.uchicago.edu>

Dear Mayor, Governor, and Provost,

Please look a the strong advice on CNN this morning:

-- Vaccines are being thrown out, expired, because there are not enough "categorized" people appearing to use them.

-- The University, the City, and the State: Need to use the vaccine supply as fast as possible and get rid of all priorities.

This will save thousands of lives in the US, very quickly, if this becomes the practice of every state!

Sincerely,
Sid Colton
