“World’s leaders” 👀

We live in Massachusetts a medical capitol of the world and we are consistently in the bottom 10% 🤦🏻‍♂️ Really MassGovernor cc MassAGO

They used a rare tactical approach. Common sense.

In a state of CoVid deniers! Whomever wrote that script is an ironic, comic genius!

West Virginia has a Population of 1.7 million. California has 40 million. 1.3 million vaccine made per day in United States. 1.3 million people given per day. 330 million people live in the US. 7.7 billion live in the world. Do the math.

MilesKISW yo! Good work 💪

They all have there own syringe

Tricked the rubes. Said it was opiates, pumped them with the vaccine.

Because the majority of their Mt Dew mouth citizens are refusing the vaccine.

I mean, being *checks notes* 40th in population and 35th in population density amongst US states and territories might have helped too. If you look at the overall data it's the low population, low-density areas that are ahead of the curve.

I will stick with Colorado’s plan. It’s working and we are getting vaccinated. Mine will be in early March!

Not a fan of his politics personally, but he did do a good job with COVID. He made some unpopular decisions that saved a lot of lives.

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Sounds like a nightmare from the logistical point of view. One hour 'advance' notice, with long line snaking around for miles. Vaccines not picked until 2pm while still frozen. Meanwhile, everyone asking, 'what's taking to long?!'

Small pop, telephone registration is very smart, not outsourcing phone lines also smart - wondering what percentage of the pop is Medicare/Medicaid. Haven’t seen it mentioned but have wondered how much that might have helped these smaller/poorer states to have infrastructure.

Sounds like the state leaders give a damn about their citizens.

Because no one lives there duh

Because their Governor is a bad ass!!! He needs to be on National TV more!!! I’d vote for him in GOP primary

Yet they are staunchly republican. Figure that one out.

Trump is besties with their billionaire governor.

Well, in fairness .... there’s like 1,489 people in the state.

Using those country roads...
