Should Oregon stop taking vaccine appointments until enough doses for all eligible are available?

Yes, this is getting ridiculous!

2

No, get them out as soon as you can!

They are expanding eligibility before they know for sure how many doses they'll have - a recipe for more frustration!

We need more appointment times for each group as people become eligible for the vaccine. My husband, 71, couldn't get an appointment on Monday, Feb. 22. The slots filled up in 2 hours! Today there were shots available at Sisters Firehall. Times were all gone in 35 minutes! What do we do????????

My wife and I are over 70 years old. I have Stage 3 kidney disease and my wife is a pre-school teacher. We have filled out vaccination request forms and have called daily trying to get an appointment. We are unable to get a solid answer on our status. Complete our group first!.

Despite the short-term frustration, every available vaccine dose should be used right away!

Use the stock you have! When more becomes available, there won't be a backlog of people who need shots. With 2-3 weeks between doses, it's logical to get as many 1st doses into arms as possible. This expedites their 2nd dose. This allows more vaccine for those coming up in the next tier!

While I am allergic to any influenza vaccine, have been for years (documented), I still keep tabs on the vaccine problems. The vaccines should not just sit and wait once they arrive.

That's silly. Get people protected as soon as possible.

Only because those most at risk for death (seniors and underlying conditions) aren't fully eligible yet. They should've been prioritized and if they had, then it would be fine to slow down the process because the remaining people would be healthy.

Absolutely not! Even tho it is frustrating to get thru to make an appt. - even when your age group is eligible - the few who DO get thru is better than NONE getting thru and getting vaccinated.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
