No doubt, Operation Warp Speed is historic.
My understanding is that state governors will determine who gets vaccinated when after following initial CDC mandates.
My governor laid out her plan, mostly identity politics, that will be in effect at least until 2030. Is it any wonder why you can't get a U-Haul or Pods around here?
Quote from part of Gov. Kate Brown's "plan":
Oregon’s plan to allocate and distribute COVID-19 vaccine is grounded in a commitment to health equity, which requires an examination of how power and resources are distributed. With this foundation, the vaccine plan presented here represents a starting point for the iterative, responsive work of co-creating this strategy in partnership with communities most impacted by longstanding health inequities and disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. This introduction presents the framework for Oregon’s approach to co-creation and community collaboration.

1. Prioritizing Equity: Prioritizing equity and addressing racial disparities as we work toward recovery from COVID-19.
2. Addressing Health and Economic Impacts: Address underlying systemic causes of health and wealth inequalities especially for those most impacted.
3. Ensuring an Inclusive and Welcoming Oregon: Commitment for Oregon to be an inclusive and welcoming state for all.
4. Prioritizing Community: Commitment to prioritizing community engagement and recognizing the role communities should play, especially with communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and historical and contemporary racism, discrimination, and oppression, in our response and recovery efforts.
5. Addressing Power, Privilege, and Race: Address the roles power, privilege, and race play in our individual and collective responses to, and experiences of, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as addressing structural racism and other forms of systemic oppression.
6. Sharing Power: Strive to identify, examine, and challenge where power lies in our system and to continually work to share power both internally as well as externally with our communities.
