120,000 calls in four hours…and we’re done.
Park Nicollet Clinic shut down its flu-shot appointment line today after it was flooded with 120,000 calls in a four-hour period this morning.
They need to get that soup Nazi guy to handle this.
“Not pregnant? No shot for you!
Older than four? No shot for you!
Healthy immune system? No shot for you!
Move along!”
That would work.
You forgot one, JR:
Conservative? No shot for you!
As I recall, when there was a shortage of bird flue vaccines – George W. Bush was to blame. As I also recall, the shortage was due to a manufacturer in the UK getting shut down.
It seems that the MSM fingers of blame only point to the right.
Is the congressional physician trying to get Congress bumped up the priority list for flu shots this time ’round? You know, meeting the public makes them practically the same as first line responders. Or something.
Link. To their credit, Congressional leaders in 2004 got the remainder of the doses reserved for them to people who were more at risk.
Last week, I heard Jason Davis take a call from a guy whose take on the shortage was, “See, we don’t have Obamacare yet, and we already have rationing.”
Somehow, Davis couldn’t resist piling on.
