BREAKING—CDC released 1st month vaccine report. Just under 13 million vaccinated over 30 days, or just ~431k per day. Relative to US pop, blacks & Latinos are underrepresented, though partly to HCW & elderly.

➡️ We need to do better in month 2. #COVID19 cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
2) this disparity is more stark considering who is actually dying of #COVID19
3) look at the vaccine disparity by zip code. We know the zip code disparities are related to income and race.
4) i wonder if vaccination could have been so much higher if millions of doses didn’t become lost, as @ErinBanco found.

BREAKING—Opioid drug pushing firm McKinsey has agreed to pay $573 million to settle investigations for its role that “turbocharged” opioid sales. McKinsey worked to drive sales of Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin amid opioid epidemic that led to 450,000 deaths.🧵
nytimes.com/2021/02/03/bus… Image
2) The firm has reached the agreement with attorneys general in 47 states, the District of Columbia and five territories.

The firm also worked with a number of opioid makers to band together to “defend against strict treatment” by the Food and Drug Administration.
3) McKinsey’s extensive work with Purdue included advising it to focus on selling lucrative high-dose pills, the documents show, even after the drugmaker pleaded guilty in 2007 to federal criminal charges that it had misled doctors and regulators about OxyContin’s risks.

POWERFUL video series by @thematthewcooke.

What's happening in the US 🇺🇸 now is the mirror image of what happened after Lincoln was assassinated at the end of the civil war.

📍TRUMP REPUBLICANS ARE A 150-YEAR OLD MISTAKE - PART 1 (of 3) 🧵

2) After Lincoln was assassinated at the end of the civil war, Andrew Johnson failed to hold the confederacy accountable. So they came back to haunt us again. And again.

📍TRUMP REPUBLICANS ARE A 150-YEAR OLD MISTAKE - PART 2 (of 3) by @thematthewcooke
3) “M.T. Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, McCarthy, Cruz—are all confederate zombies risen from the boneyard of America's unatoned sins. They will stop haunting 🇺🇸 when we hold them accountable”.

OUTRIGHT FALSE—Gov Kristi Noem claims her “unique approach” helped South Dakota get through #COVID19 better than “virtually every other state”.

Data doesn’t lie—SD has had one of the highest cumulative incidence per capita and deaths per capita.
2) Here is high sky high S Dakota cumulative cases per capita is compared to other states. 12 out of every 100 people have been infected — that’s just the diagnosed count. Image
3) Here is the cumulative deaths per capita. 1 out of every 500 residents statewide in S Dakota has died of #COVID19 @KristiNoem. Let that sink in @govkristinoem. Image

GOOD & BAD news for global COVAX vaccine allocations per nation. 336 mil doses to be distributed, but instead of 20%, countries can only expect to receive #COVID19 vaccine to cover on average **3.3%** of their population by Q2 2021. How many per country?🧵
gavi.org/sites/default/… Image
2) Most vaccines allocated will be the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine - 240 mil. 96 mil will be the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine. Here is the allocation for all countries alphabetically from A to Maldives... ImageImageImageImage
4) Here are the allocations for alphabetical countries Mali thru Z.

Keep in mind these are doses. And 2 doses needed for Oxford/AZ and Pfizer vaccines. Many countries getting tiny single % of what they need. This is a huge cut from 20%. ImageImageImage
