Only 7 of Stanford's first 5000 vaccines were designed for medical residents

Typo in title — should be “designated”, not “designed”. Dang, can you fix?

Damn.

And still not enough PPE to wear FFP2 during the protest? I wonder why they didn't do it outside though.

Nepotism and using administrative power to tilt the distribution of good in your favor is not new.

Blaming “algorithm” is new. I think even use of the term algorithm is misleading to obscure the truth. To make it seem like it some sort of soulless machine, that made a mistake. It was probably done by some administrator in excel, reviewed by a senior staff member to make sure the “right” cohorts get the vaccine.

Also 5000 is a small number, you can easily asses how reasonable the result of the algorithm is. Heck, a couple of decent PMs from any tech company can prioritize distribution of 5000 doses in a fair way in couple of days.

And how many went to the nurses?
