1. Get a list of trusted contacts from the rationalist network in each state 2. For each state, * Determine where vaccines were sent. - Find the number for the State Department of Health. - Call and ask about the distribution of vaccines. Who would have the list? - If this fails, compile a list of local hospitals/pharmacies to call and ask if they have received vaccines. * Get contacts in state good enough PPE to just show up and interact with strangers - order KN95s and faceshields to their door - buy a head air bubble to lend out to people for a cause like this. 3. Find the number of a good lawyer. Learn how to give shots and use an epipen. 4. For areas local to our contacts, * Stand in a public spot with a clipboard + form asking for names and fast contact method of people interested in getting contacted in the event we successfully manage to get excess vaccines. Collect risk categories or bids as well if interest seems high enough to warrant prioritization. * Compile a list of local hospitals/pharmacies. * Call and ask if they have received vaccines, and what they intend to do if they have more vaccine than they can use within the time or patient groups they have. If our ad hoc list would benefit them in creating such a plan. * Buy syringes as needed, and a good cold box. Also an epipen and some OTC anti-inflammatories. * Call or show up at pharmacies about to close up with offer to distribute any extra sitting around. - Probably don't phrase this as "take the trash out for ya" and wink exaggeratedly if you can help it. * Take a picture at pharmacy to support provenance. * Call people in FIFO order (or 2nd price bid plus a couple random pro bono picks) and tell them to hightail it to their new appointment time at a park (or more probably outside your house since we're gonna want to keep vials very cool.) * Jab them. Keep watch for 10-30min in case they have an allergic reaction.
Now. What does the non-renegade version of this look like?
