As I noted the other day: Regardless of WHY the GOP machine has suddenly decided to do a full 180, it's almost certainly too little too late (though it's still a hell of a lot better than not doing it at all, I suppose). Today is July 21st. 1/

Let's assume that it takes a week of this sudden, coordinated effort by the GOP to spur their base into action, and a significant portion gets their first shot next week. Let's call it around July 28th.
That's 3-4 more weeks for Shot #2, or 8/18 or 8/25. 2/

I understand it takes up to 2 more weeks for the vaxx to take full effect. That's 9/01 or 9/08.
I mean yes, absolutely, EVERYONE who can should get vaccinated IMMEDIATELY, but we're talking up to 7 weeks from today. God only knows how bad it'll be by then.

How much can cases/deaths ramp up in 7 weeks?
We hit 50K today. Here's what it looked like last fall, from October 12th (51K 7-day avg.) through November 23rd (177K 7-day avg.)
I'm not saying it'll be nearly that bad, given that half the country is fully vaxxed now, but still.
