I am a big fan of that age old saying: "Never attribute to malice what can easily be described by stupidity". I'd bet real money there's a reason that 6 months is the limit ...and it's not malice. It's a regulator for the fact that we are simply not producing enough vaccine. Period. THAT is the failing. At this point, appointments should be instantly accessible. I just found mine two weeks away after an hour of searching multiple pharmacies and my medical system online. If they weren't holding back the flood with the 6 month rule, even knowing that it should be far earlier, then there would be even less available for first shots. It's insane that we can't produce this in adequate volume. It's insane that Biden hasn't fired up the DPA to produce this in such overwhelming volume we are giving it out in cereal boxes.
