Jesus. This is ridiculous
So the criminal Trump administration?
Did not bother to order enough doses of vaccine to get a good portion of the US vaccinated.
He short-sheeted the vaccine order, which in turn hamstrings, to mix metaphors, the Biden admin.
There is not going to be an orderly roll out of vaccine because we do not have enough of the vaccine on order to vaccinate enough of the population to reach herd immunity, and significantly impact disease patterns, which will of course lower confidence in the vaccine and make it harder to get people to vaccinate when stocks are available.
Yet another criminal act by Trump and his cronies. What the fuck were they thinking?
One of the things that is very clear is that you get one shot at big public health mandates in this country, at this time. People stayed home in March/April, and the Trump admin squandered our collective sacrifice. In the same way, if the rollout doesn't go as planned and show improvement in quality of life, we won't get a second chance at high vaccine uptake. Trump has made it all but certain that this will be the case.
He doesn't care how many people he kills.
As for the vaccine, btw? Seems to be solid phase 3 data from Pfizer: Excellent twitter thread.
