I could not disagree more. I believe it was a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Trashing vaccine doses rather than giving them to people out of \u201corder\u201d is the dumbest idea government could come up with. If Frishberg gains immunity, she will not be able to contract COVID, and therefore she cannot spread it. The more people vaccinated, the sooner herd immunity will be achieved.
