The feds have been doing a terrible job of distributing the vaccine, but it does not matter that much at this point because the states, left to do the final steps of getting the shot in arms have done even worse. It is a failure across the entire spectrum, shocking but certainly NOT unprecedented. The same thing happened with PPE and testing.
You have to hold back 1/2 of the supply for the second does if you don’t have more vials in transit. .
This is a fair point. However it still shows we are lacking in speed and compounds the fact that it's going to be a LONG TIME till your average worker, no matter what you do aside from health services (not EMS), will get it in FL
Its not rocket science. The schools are closed. Set up vaccination sites in every school. People go in one door, sign the paperwork, get the shot and sit in their car/the auditorium until the 15 minutes has passed. Do it after the essential workers are in by year of birth and maybe last name of a spouse for married couples. First come, first serve means only the healthiest can get the shot, not the ones most vulnerable and the most likely to use up hospital resources. I don't know how those old folks are sitting out there for hours with frequent urination issues.
Romney and Biden have proposed a plan like this. Also to use combat medics and veterinarians to give the shots rather than rely on the already overburdened health care workers. In addition to schools, having mobile vaccination clinics by the FEDERAL government instead of letting the states figure out how to do everything on their own.
Thankfully only 18 days of Trump incompetence left. Although he will be quite active for his last 18 days, I guarantee he will do NOTHING regarding the vaccine rollout or any other thing that helps the American people. He will be 100% voter fraud and blame everyone but himself. A bunch of disgusting anti-American rhetoric will spew from Trump about clinging to a job he isn’t doing anyway.
Read at our current rate we have everyone vaccinated by 2028.
Thank God the moron in chief is about out of here.
You're forgetting something a lot of people do not want to take the new vaccines. they polled new york firefighters and 55 percent did not want to take the vaccine.
When you look at this chart, are you thinking we are doing good? 1% of 1.1% isn't anything to get exited about.
It is lack of supply, moron. Do you not read the news? We have known for many months that the supply would be limited at the beginning, because of the supply chain complexities. You can’t just make these vaccines anywhere. If we were able to wave a magic wand and suddenly have 300 million vials available now, we would have seen an investment in more freezers, with vials available through most pharmacies and primary care offices, resulting in much different numbers. That scenario was never possible.

Why would he care? His awful policies led to his entire family getting infected.. no big deal, as long as you can get babies stemcells injected into you.

It is supply, supply, supply.
It's literally not supply. I don't know how to get that through to you. Seniors are lined up overnight to get the vaccine, in the cold, closer than 6 feet apart, for 8+ hours. Just google it, there are 100's of pictures and videos of it.
There were 2.8 million vaccinations in December. That is about 36 million in 12 months. Do the math. Horrible planning to expect health care workers to both take care of a flood of covid workers and vaccinate the entire population.
Not President Trump's fault, it's just the usual suspects attempts at TDS. I refuse to get ANY vaccine as does my wife and kids for those that want the poison be my guest!
No snowstorms aren't Trump's fault. Snowstorms did hurt the rollout. However, Trump has done typical Trump things. Trump over-sold and under-delivered on the vaccine rollout. Then when things aren't going right, Trump washes his hands of it and says it is the states' responsibility because we just get it to them. Trump is treating this like many of one his failed businesses and the earlier issues with testing and continual issues with PPE, despite his known failures he continues to project blame on to everyone else. Trump is the ultimate victim and you just give him carte blanche. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Looking at that chart the US does seem to be doing very well. An almost city state with a conscripted army and almost 100% of its citizens reservist or retired veterans and a rich island city-state nation with a concentrated population which is about the same as a mid sized American city being the global outliers.
