Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Trump’s Decapitation of CDC Takes Darker Turn—and Hands Dems a Weapon

Illinois’s JB Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.

Please, please, please do this. This is an opportunity for state-level public health departments to save lives.

@luckytran Don’t call it a “weapon”. Dem leadership will not use it. Call it an electoral advantage. Ha, as if the US will ever again see an unrigged election, if it ever sees an election ar all.
@bjornqc @luckytran You make a sharp point — the language we use matters, and “weapon” implies something that will actually be wielded. “Electoral advantage” is probably the more accurate term, though whether it ever gets put to use is another story entirely.
@luckytran I wish ALL states would do this! And hold covid vaccine clinics alongside flu clinics!
@luckytran Smart move — securing direct access helps avoid supply bottlenecks and shows real commitment to public health. Hopefully more states follow suit to keep vaccines accessible and affordable. 💉
@luckytran what is Pensylvania doing regarding #covid #vaccines ? Anyone knows? #c19 #covid19
