“In five weeks, America has administered the most shots of any country in the world — any country in the world — with among the highest percentage of population fully vaccinated. That’s progress we promised.” — President Biden while marking 50 million shots since he took office

1. Good news. I already feel much better with Pres. Biden at the helm of our ship in these rocky seas!

2. As it should be. We've got a lot of catching up to do from the non-action of the previous...

didn't give a shit admin.

3. Man, it's a relief to have a competent government.

4. Isn't it, though?

Things are back on track with vaccinations and practically guaranteed to gather a more steam over time. It's wonderful.

6. Yeah, but where are the uzi-vacs and MIRVacs?

The Army should be deploying teams with automatic vac-dart guns, spraying down grocery stores and Wal-marts. The Air Force should be launching missiles with cluster-vacs over metropolitan areas. Has no one sent vaccination drones over trailer parks yet? Seals should be invading all those interview diners and giving MAGAts sore arms! (Forget deploying jarheads; you'll never convince a Marine to not try to shove the needle -through- the target).

Ok, maybe Biden's plan is more efficient and kinder, but you gotta admit it would make headlines doing it my way.

Hey, I'd give people reason to stop the spread: Stay hidden (isolated) or get shot!

10. .

To my then small self, the line for the smallpox vaccination gun in grade school didn't seem far off of what you describe here. The jet injector is no longer used, thank goodness, but boy the school nurse sure did have a rapid fire pace back in the day.

5. We blew past 50 million

By my calculations, we passed 50 mil on February 25th and are already up to 60 million as of yesterday.

We were at 17 million on Jan 20th

We hit 68 million on on Feb 25th (ie 51 million)

We hit 77 Million yesterday. 60 million! In about 40 days.

Even better, after the deep freeze really put a damper on the numbers, they have really bounced back this week. They did 2.4 million per day on Saturday and Sunday.

I suspect they will reach 200 million in the original 100 day time frame. And I think that will represent about 120 million people fully vaccinated when you take it all into account. that would be about

I am feeling very optimistic about where we are. Combining the progress so far with the addition of the third vaccine I think we are looking good.

7. K&R!

Ty, Mr. President & Madame Vice-President!

Isn't it wonderful to have leaders who are NOT TRYING TO KILL US ALL?

[not fooled]

8. How many of red don's supporters

and other QOPee voters appreciate the turnaround from "no plan" under the orange anus????

I wonder how much of this great story--illustrating the difference competent government can make--will penetrate the disinformation bubble?

9. It is a remarkable achievement.

The Previous Guy would still be looking for reasons to drag his feet, I'm sure.

I just wish Canada was able to make similar progress, but unfortunately, we don't have a juggernaut of a pharmaceutical industry. Here, we are expecting a shipment of something like 140,000 doses in the next week or so. 140,000 doses for 5,000,000 people. At a rate of a shipment like that every couple of months, we should be done vaccinating all our people by shortly after your next general election. Our govt. is saying they'll get it done this year, but I really can't see how.

I'm trying not to suspect the US pharma industry of punishing Canada for upsetting its pricing models. It seems to me that our best hope is to cheer on American efforts so the national vaccination program can be wound down quickly. At that point, even scraps left over from such a massive program would be enough to make a major dent here.

GO MR. BIDEN and his mighty, mighty plan!

12. How frustrating. I hope Canada can gather pace over time as well,

and that we can start sending more vaccines your way very soon.

[WarGamer]

11. As of yesterday... 76 million doses administered in total...

We'd all like to see improvements to the local methods and logic (or lack thereof) but that's a GREAT number
