The Trump administration's Covid-19 vaccine distribution program needs a

The goal of Operation Warp Speed, a private-public partnership led by

U.S. falling short of goal to vaccinate 20 million people by end of year
Dec. 29, 202001:33

But so far, only about 2 million people — most of them front-line health
care workers and some nursing home residents — have gotten their first
shots of the 11.5 million doses that were delivered in the last two
weeks, a review by NBC News of data from federal and state agencies showed.

"I don't think we're going to be able to distribute the 20 million doses
that were promised" this year, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner
of the Food and Drug Administration under President Donald Trump and a
Pfizer board member, said Tuesday on CNBC.

Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of Biden's Covid-19 advisory board, and Dr.
Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health,
have warned that the U.S. will come up far short of projections by Trump
administration officials that every person who wants a shot would be
able to get one by the spring.

Pence, who got his first shot this month, is on vacation in Colorado. In
a statement, Operation Warp Speed spokesman Michael Pratt insisted that
"there is an expected lag between shots going into arms and the data
being reported."

Trump, who for months downplayed the danger of the pandemic, which has
infected more than 19.4 million people and claimed more than 336,000
lives in the U.S., vowed in September that 100 million doses would be
shipped out by the end of the year.

But in December, when the first doses were delivered, Operation Warp
Speed's top scientist, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, cut the projection to 20 million.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's leading epidemiologist, told CNN on
Tuesday, "Well, we certainly are not at the numbers that we wanted to be
at the end of December."

My wife and I got our first Covid-19 shot this morning along with
about 800 other people. The vast majority were 65 y/o+. It was
fairly well organized by the local government folks but it would be
nice to have an appointment system to eliminate the long waiting
lines. We were queued up at 5:30AM and there were already 612 people
ahead of us. We finally got our shots around 11:30.

Judy talked about going and I just said I would rather die of Covid
than to be in that "Black Friday Covid shot" line.

I managed to stray away from people this long, I can insult folks for
another month or two until when they will be giving the shots out at
Publix. You might even get a $10 gift card if it is like the flu shot.
They just invented this ****. It will take a little time to fill the

About a year from the first confirmed case of a novel virus on the

Government money thrown to the private sector is what made it happen.
Maybe too much money, The Moderna guys are going to get richer but
they did something Fauci's bureaucrats would take a decade to do.

Meanwhile, the MSM is whining that our roll-out of the vaccine is slower than promised. But the UK has been doing it longer that we have, and the NBC news tonite said they had vaccinated only about 600k. We, in less time, have done 2 million? Sounds like winning to me.

Oh, and how did fat harry's wife get the vaccine? She's not a front-line worker. Is worthless in the the fight against people dying of COVID. Sounds like cutting the line using connections to doctors in real health care. So much for treating patients with zoom meetings.

The Trump administration's Covid-19 vaccine distribution program needs a
major shot in the arm because at the current rate, it would take almost
10 years to inoculate enough Americans to get the pandemic under
control, a jarring new NBC News analysis showed Tuesday.

The goal of Operation Warp Speed, a private-public partnership led by
Vice President Mike Pence to produce and deliver safe and effective
Covid-19 vaccines to the public, is to ensure that 80 percent of the
country's 330.7 million people get the shots by late June.

To meet that goal, a little more than 3 million people would have to get
the shots each day, the math shows.
U.S. falling short of goal to vaccinate 20 million people by end of year
Dec. 29, 202001:33

But so far, only about 2 million people ? most of them front-line health
care workers and some nursing home residents ? have gotten their first
shots of the 11.5 million doses that were delivered in the last two
weeks, a review by NBC News of data from federal and state agencies showed.

"I don't think we're going to be able to distribute the 20 million doses
that were promised" this year, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner
of the Food and Drug Administration under President Donald Trump and a
Pfizer board member, said Tuesday on CNBC.

Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of Biden's Covid-19 advisory board, and Dr.
Ashish Jha, the dean of the Brown University School of Public Health,
have warned that the U.S. will come up far short of projections by Trump
administration officials that every person who wants a shot would be
able to get one by the spring.

Pence, who got his first shot this month, is on vacation in Colorado. In
a statement, Operation Warp Speed spokesman Michael Pratt insisted that
"there is an expected lag between shots going into arms and the data
being reported."

Trump, who for months downplayed the danger of the pandemic, which has
infected more than 19.4 million people and claimed more than 336,000
lives in the U.S., vowed in September that 100 million doses would be
shipped out by the end of the year.

But in December, when the first doses were delivered, Operation Warp
Speed's top scientist, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, cut the projection to 20 million.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's leading epidemiologist, told CNN on
Tuesday, "Well, we certainly are not at the numbers that we wanted to be
at the end of December."

My wife and I got our first Covid-19 shot this morning along with
about 800 other people. The vast majority were 65 y/o+. It was
fairly well organized by the local government folks but it would be
nice to have an appointment system to eliminate the long waiting
lines. We were queued up at 5:30AM and there were already 612 people
ahead of us. We finally got our shots around 11:30.


Worth the wait, though. Congrats. My wife got her first vaccination shot
yesterday...I probably will be able to do so in January, I hope. Which
vaccine did you get?

===

Moderna.

Looks like Trump and DeSantis came through for you. It would be nice if you
showed your gratitude. :-)
Yeah it was Trump's "useless Warp Speed" that threw $2.3Billion at
Moderna to get this thing out there for you.
Get real
About a year from the first confirmed case of a novel virus on the
planet and we are already vaccinating people for it.
Government money thrown to the private sector is what made it happen.
Maybe too much money, The Moderna guys are going to get richer but
they did something Fauci's bureaucrats would take a decade to do.

Remember when Trump said it would be weeks until a vaccine was ready, and Fauci and the liberal MSM said that was a lie? Now it's just weeks later, and we are vaccinating people.

Meanwhile, the MSM is whining that our roll-out of the vaccine is slower than promised. But the UK has been doing it longer that we have, and the NBC news tonite said they had vaccinated only about 600k. We, in less time, have done 2 million? Sounds like winning to me.

Oh, and how did fat harry's wife get the vaccine? She's not a front-line worker. Is worthless in the the fight against people dying of COVID. Sounds like cutting the line using connections to doctors in real health care. So much for treating patients with zoom meetings.

In some states, thieves convicts and democrats go to the head of the line.

Judy talked about going and I just said I would rather die of Covid
than to be in that "Black Friday Covid shot" line.

I managed to stray away from people this long, I can insult folks for
another month or two until when they will be giving the shots out at
Publix. You might even get a $10 gift card if it is like the flu shot.
They just invented this ****. It will take a little time to fill the
pipeline and I can wait. Maybe they will know more about why the
doctor had to save his own life with his Epipen. I don't have an
Epipen

I didn't pay over a grand for a PS/5 either.

===

Agreed that getting out there at 0530 and waiting in line for 6 hours
was a pain but the time passed surprisingly fast, and we're glad to be
back on the road to normalacy. No Epipens required and I've never
owned a PS/5 at any price.


My wife lucked out. The vaccinations were handled in the "health center"
of a local supermarket chain, and she was directed to report there
between noon and one pm. When she got there, there was one person ahead
of her, so she had a 10 minute wait and then got the shot. She has to
return there in, I think she said, 28 days, for the 2nd shot.

Speaking of lines, have you seen the incredibly long lines in Texas of
folks waiting to get food for their families at food banks? Welcome to
America.

Yeah, that's the one she got.

If you are within courier distance from a super freezer, that is
probably what you get. We have them in Ft Myers and Naples.
That is the one the government has the biggest stake in. (Over $2B)


I'm sure there is more than one "super freezer" in the DC metro area,
but I have no idea where they might be. When my turn comes up next month
(I hope), I'm guessing it will be dispensed at a local supermarket or
pharmacy chain store.
