It started out as a group of college friends who wanted to help during the pandemic. They had tech skills, so they used 3D printers to make face shields. Then they organized as a nonprofit, Philly Fighting Covid, and opened a testing site in a Philadelphia neighborhood that didn't have one yet.
But the organization's leader, Andrei Doroshin, had bigger ambitions. Even before the first coronavirus vaccine was authorized, he made plans to be involved. Doroshin is a 22-year-old graduate student in psychology at Drexel University. He has no background in health care.
On the evening of Oct. 7, Doroshin gathered 15 of the nonprofit's staff members and volunteers for a meeting on a Philadelphia rooftop, to show them a fancy PowerPoint. More people joined via livestream to watch him unveil his plan to vaccinate the city of Philadelphia.
In slide after slide, he laid out his vision with colorful graphics and even maps, covering all aspects of a vaccination system, from scheduling to staffing to safety protocols.

She me stupid grad school student who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room sold Philly officials a bunch of horse manure and the officials bought it. Like Mike Tyson says,”everybody has a plan until the first punch in the face”!
