CDC paid Deloitte $44 million to streamline vaccination scheduling, administration, and reporting. The tool they actually built is so bad, most states won’t use it. technologyreview.com/2021/01…

The explicit racism and xenophobia towards new MP Xiaomei Harvard and the fact that it is going completely unchallenged is so utterly disgusting it takes my breath away. Sometimes I roll my eyes at the stupidity on Twitter but this is next level horrifying and heartbreaking.

Replying to @vumatel
@vumatel @MWEBTweets my mother @pr_sidley has been trying to activate her fibre for over two months. All you do is shift the blame between yourselves and her. I am horrified by your incompetence and neglect for your customers who rely on you.

Your behaviour has a very real financial and emotional impact. We don't know what to do or who to speak to anymore. I know we aren't the only people being affected, you know that, and if she doesn't already, I hope @wendyknowler knows this too because it is unacceptable.
