The US needs an urgent, public conversation on how best to speed up our vaccination regime. There is an alarming lack of urgency to the current efforts, and we can't expect the Biden team to be able to make huge changes right away. Offer some initial thoughts in a thread below...

And it needs to be a national project, all of us working together, and not something left to the states. Huge opportunity for the Biden team to create a sense of common purpose in our collective defeat of the virus - not something he did, but something we all did together.
Here's a smart doc making the case for rethinking our current strategy
Current leisurely Trump approach did not take into account 1) dramatic spread in recent weeks 2) emergence of the variant. We have to mass vaccinate now as way to slow spread/variant.

Another thread about the need for a new national vaccination strategy......

Why a new strategy?
1) WH promised 20m vaccines by end of 2020. We are far short of even having DISTRIBUTED 20m doses (why ship only one dose at a time?).
2) We need to be vaccinating 3-4m a day - we are at 500k.
Failure here just SHOCKING.
