1/3 Many thanks @yasminv for hosting me today. Apologies for throwing some cold water on the vaccination “victory lap” today, but there are some stark realities to consider... 
2/3 first I don’t know where that 70% of adults goal comes from, but it’s not adequate. Yes the Biden Admin deserves credit for great successes, but we need 75-80% of entire US pop vaccinated, all of the adults adolescents. The South looks terrible, we’ll see a surge this summer
3/3 also there’s a humanitarian tragedy underway in South America, the Biden Admin needs to take some leadership here and help our neighbors. We must scale up and distribute vaccine for Latin America now, and ultimately all the LMICs. US State Dept invisible
Bottom line: Except for the Acela Corridor, California, and a few other states, mostly the Western Hemisphere is on fire
