This is an essay to describe the current vaccine mess in Europe, the EU marginalized thought process, the expectations of the general public, the death rate, the healthcare crisis, the vaccine companies, and something called 'reality'.
I worked for a boss at some stage in my life where various negative events were unfolding within the organization, and the boss came to this analytical moment. He made a brief one-minute survey of the situation and basically said....'when you reach the stage that the 'funnel' of operations has shifted from a 1-inch pipe (2.5 cm) to a .07 inch pipe (2 mm)....s**t doesn't flow through, and you need to view everything in a more harsh environment. Whoever or whatever triggered this....needs to be removed from the landscape.'
There was an awful lot of chatter back in March, April and May of 2020....how we just need to get through the next eight months, and a 'Jesus-vaccine' would arrive.
What they failed to mention here....there would be various 'Jesus-vaccines'.....made in different countries, with different companies.
They also failed to mention that a priority list would be required, with old people, medical folks, police, politicians, teachers....listed as first.
They then failed to mention that on day one of the 'Jesus-vaccine' delivery, even if they jabbed sixteen hours out of the day....seven days a week....it'd likely take seven months to accomplish something like 80-percent of the population.
They also failed to mention that maybe a quarter or more of the population would question the 'Jesus-vaccines', and not readily volunteer.
Then they failed to mention that in the fall of 2020....the big number of infections would return, but be even triple what you'd seen in April. They also failed to mention in Germany....a thousand deaths a day (mostly older folks) were being the 'norm' by December.
Then they kinda failed to mentioned that the EU mechanism was the device that most countries were depending upon, and reality set in....around late December....that maybe it was a good thing that Germany had gone off on it's own....setting up a contract and getting their own company in a positive position.
Then they failed to mention that quality measures in the company process (not just one, but virtually all of them) would set into motion batches being 'dumped' and delays would start to fall into play (like in Portugal, Spain, France).
This week, if you stood there gazing at the landscape and the vaccine business....this 'funnel' has downsized itself from a full inch (2.5 cm) to a .07 inch (2 mm) size. It doesn't matter how big that barrel of whiskey is....your share from a group of 50-million consumers would require at least six months to get a half-shot glass of content out of this stupid funnel (that's really being optimistic).
Blame? Well.....the company will tell you.....if you got a bad batch out of the process, you sure as hell don't want to inject yourself with worthless crappy vaccine that might only be 30-percent effective or give you a pretty harsh reaction where you lay in some intensive care situation for three weeks with nurse Greta attending to your care for 15 brief minutes out of the day.
The EU? Trying as hard as possible to portray themselves as a 'Jesus-organization'.....you eventually reach a point where you think it's a comedy club of folks who failed mostly in their own countries and figured the comedy-club in Brussels would be a better place to be.
If a commercial company ran this way? Imagine McDonalds telling you at the front door....you can get full service, but there's no sodas....mostly because they failed to order cups at the normal rate, and they don't really have a plan 'B'. Or you step into a bar to find that they've got plenty of wine and booze....but no beer, mostly because Fred failed to sign the contracts to ensure weekly delivery by the beer distributor.
How this opera goes for 2021? I suspect the Germans might be the only ones mostly complete (at the 75-percent level) by September. I also suspect that various folks in Spain and France will only get the first shot, and be told of a national shortage....where the whole process has to start fresh from scratch by December (again). Then finally, I expect some big grand Jesus-speech by the EU toward December....thanking itself for handling a big mess, and saving countless lives.
Comedians? They've got enough fresh new material now, for at least six months.
