If true, it is another questionable decision by this community. Gotta wonder who got the shots… in the service of God, of course.

What makes you think this wasn't for those wealthy elite hipster gentrification/urban-renewal a-holes driving out communities of color through eminent domain to build more coffee shops and luxury handbag stores?

Williamsburg isn't all about the wacky fringe-Jews, ya know.

...Also, that provider is in Poughkeepsie. Odds are better that the vaccines were diverted primarily to Scarsdale and Saratoga.

.....was on the news this morning.....they posted twitter pics of the CEO and someone else getting the shots......that's just dumb......

Yes, unfortunate . But at least somebody is getting these shots . The rollout is excruciatingly slow.

Apparently this clinic got 3500 doses and offered them via an online post to anybody over 60, first come first served. They weren't trying to hide it. I'd hold the distributor who screwed up more accountable here.

"The State Department of Health has been made aware of reports that Parcare Community Health Network, an Orange County provider, may have fraudulently obtained COVID-19 vaccine, transferred it to facilities in other parts of the state in violation of state guidelines, and diverted it to members of the public, contrary to the state's plan to administer it first to frontline healthcare workers, as well as nursing home residents and staffers.

"We take this very seriously and DOH will be assisting State Police in a criminal investigation into this matter. Anyone found to have knowingly participated in this scheme will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

A Brooklyn-based health care company said Sunday that it “proactively returned” its remaining stash of COVID-19 vaccines amid a criminal probe into allegations the doses were fraudulently obtained and diverted.

In a prepared statement, ParCare Community Health Network also insisted it followed all proper procedures to get the Moderna vaccines and was approved to administer the shots by both the state Department of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The company said it “provided the documentation regarding the proper receipt of the vaccines to the NYS DOH.”

“In an effort to fully cooperate with NYS DOH, ParCare has proactively returned its vaccines pending the Department’s review,” according to the statement.

“We are confident the end result of that review will show that ParCare at all times exerted best efforts to comply with all NYS DOH requirements and will allow us to continue to achieve our number one goal of providing these critical vaccines to the New Yorkers who need them most.”

The Moderna vaccine is designed to be administered in two doses 28 days apart.

ParCare said, “We will do everything in our power to make sure that the state understands that our patients are our priority and that everyone receives their second dose accordingly.”

On Saturday, state Health Department Commissioner Howard Zucker said the New York State Police was investigating allegations that ParCare “may have fraudulently obtained COVID-19 vaccine, transferred it to facilities in other parts of the state in violation of state guidelines and diverted it to members of the public.”

Zucker’s statement said the investigation involved ParCare’s clinic in Orange County, which is one of six it operates.

I think an investigation is completely warranted.
