Public vs Private Sector vaccine dispersal: Who's doing a better job?

Kaiser is private. Yeah, I have Kaiser and keep getting emails saying "any day now." Thing is the state of CA decided which private companies get to do it.
I have to admit there was something dystopian about congregating in an empty parking garage on a college campus and being given a vaccine by the military. I did thank them for their service.
exactly. The premise of the question is flawed and presents a false dichotomy.
What we are witnessing is a public-private partnership.
imagine if we put CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens in charge of national defense.
Context, my friend.
One time I was in class clowning around and one of the female students said, "Ahhhh, gross, Auto! My young ears shouldn't be hearing this!"
I said, "Don't worry. I will keep you safe."
Some kids are not used to play fighting and taboo humor.
These two things are the best way to prime the nervous system.

Besides, why would I need to do that? The free market is thriving here.
Notes on drive-thru mass vaccination in Nueces County Hospital District (a human story)...
1st dose Moderna, groups 1A & 1B: gates open at 8:00 AM; first come, first serve; even the young'uns are not queried over their health, just given the shot; 2-1/2 hours wheels up to wheels down.
2nd dose Moderna, groups 1A & 1B: by appointment; 4-1/2 hours wheels up to wheels down; scads of young'uns getting shots.

I read that camp authorities are forcing refugee women into prostitution in exchange for food and life services. People!
IMHO DeSantis is doing a shitty job. The olds might be vulnerable but they also don't do anything of value. The next over 65 teacher I see will be the first. The schools, followed by the restaurants/bars, should be the priorities. Old people go out so infrequently that they basically social distance during the early bird dinner window they actually hit. The pop-up thing is literally donor payback.
He does get some points for bringing in private sector distribution.
FEMA which I'd consider public and federal (not DeSantis) had a site in Tampa and the first day, not that many olds showed up, so they on-the-fly told DeSantis's order go GFY. The next day, a shitload of people showed up, and they went back to enforcing DeSantis's order.
I commend FEMA for not wasting the vaccine although I feel sorry for the aggravation felt by the people who showed up the next day.
As long as I can get it somewhere before summer surf travel that'll be good enough.

What are fedex, ups and Amazon without the FAA, our ports, our interstate system and our local roadways? In the words of Obama “You didn’t build that”
why do so many people have so much trouble grasping the concept that economics is really just ecology?

Pretending that this, the public/private joint response to a pandemic, is somehow representative of socialized medicine in a larger context is pretty stupid.
Seems to be about 50/50 here. Both pubic and private long waits and confusing systems from what I’ve heard.
I’m not even eligible and plan on most likely letting the brunt of people go to beforehand just to keep it simple.
CDC released new guidelines that were promising. Kind of shattered the clowns theories of this being a power grab.
