NY is really a disaster: COVID vaccine appointments canceled as NYC hospitals face supply problems nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-ho…
This was TEN DAYS AGO. Remember?

So, anyone think that @CNN reporters will spar with Cuomo like this?

LOL. Hell no. Nobody wants to make @ChrisCuomo look bad.

news.yahoo.com/florida-gov-ro…
Flores: "My full question is what went wrong with the rollout of the vaccine when we've seen phone lines jammed, websites crashing...we've seen websites crash and also senior citizens waiting overnight for the vaccine..."

Good luck seeing any questions like this.
“To even get an appointment for the vaccine, New Yorkers must navigate multiple buggy and complex systems,” City Comptroller Scott Stringer tweeted. “There are widespread reports of vaccine doses languishing in freezers rather than being deployed...”
Once again, the media failure by people BASED IN NY like @CNN and @MSNBC is atrocious, and shows an incredible level of either purposeful incompetence or neglect.

Shame on all of them.

So want to do a #covidvaccineupdate, because there appears to be a lot of confusion where we are having problems.

First and foremost? Almost nobody on the planet is doing well, outside of Israel, UAE and Bahrain. Image
The US has vaccinated just under 4% of the population in exactly one month. At that pace, it would take two years; but note the curve above. The rate is increasing at a steady rate. After 2 weeks, the US had vaccinated only about 1%.
If the US can maintain that rate of increase (or even half of that), we could be vaccinating 15% or so of the public monthly by March.

That is if the supply can be sustained; I am guessing it can be, with Moderna, Pfizer and JNJ expanding production dramatically already.

Assessing Mandatory Stay‐at‐Home and Business Closure Effects on the Spread of COVID‐19: "While small benefits cannot be excluded, we do not find significant benefits on case growth of more restrictive NPIs."

A mainstream write up.

The reality is that is what I've been saying since summer.

IF you stopped the virus in phase 1 (like Taiwan, NZ, Australia) then this might work. But once you get community spread, its too late.

At that point, even if you shut down, people spread it at home, etc.

All of this.

ALL OF IT.

"Is it unfair to punish Trump, who did not personally participate in the riot, and who did not explicitly call for violence? Hardly. As I have detailed previously, when you take in the entirety of Trump’s speech and its context, he bears moral and political responsibility... "
"...for inspiring the Capitol riot. True, Trump’s conduct falls just shy of the narrow legal definition of inciting riot or rebellion. True, it is becoming increasingly clear that some of the forces he summoned to Washington on January 6 came prepared for violence in advance..."

#CovidVaccineUpdate

The US is at 3.4% vaccinated. Only the UK (5%, and started earlier) is doing better as a large country.

And we still aren't doing well enough.

bloomberg.com/graphics/covid…
Best countries:

Israel
Bahrain
UAE
UK
USA

Relatively speaking, worst countries? France, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey. China and Russia too (considering they've had 'vaccines' for months). Canada is lagging too (reason why?).
As for US states, WV leads the pack, followed (not in order) ND, SD, MT, CO, NM, UT, OK, LA, IN, VT, CT, RI.

As for the big states, FL will likely pass NY in per capita vaccinations by tomorrow or so, and has vaccinated 80k more, marginally trailing TX and CA.

Israel leads the world in vaccinations and could be done by spring @verumserum hotair.com/archives/john-…
Tradeoffs!

"Netanyahu revealed that Israel struck an agreement with Pfizer to exchange citizens’ data for 10 million doses...Israel will provide details to Pfizer about the age, gender and medical history of those receiving the jab as well as its side effects and efficacy."
"For comparison purposes, things aren’t going nearly so well here in California. The state has received 2.4m doses as of Monday but has only distributed a 1/3rd...Gov. Newsom announced a new vaccine plan, ditching a previous one that seemed to be slowing things down."

"Opposition to impeachment comes from...belief that members of the opposing political tribe want their destruction, not simply to punish Trump for his behavior..."
@benshapiro politi.co/2N5X4nN
" Republicans believe that Democrats and the overwhelmingly liberal media see impeachment as an attempt to cudgel them collectively by lumping them in with the Capitol rioters thanks to their support for Trump.

The evidence for that position isn’t difficult to find."
And right on cue...tweedledee and tweedledum chime in to confirm Shapiro is right.
