RESOUNDING SUCCESS - HUZZAH BIDEN/HARRIS ADMINISTRATION!!!

[cilla4progress]

Just read in today's Washington Post that 58% of the US eligible population ages 12 and over - 162.5 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccination!

Gob-smacking, when you think of where we were less than 6 months ago!

On my knees in gratitude and admiration for what Biden has been able to do. Pure good.

Apparently the former guy's attempt to off the population (I believe him to be a sociopath of that order) FAILED!

[malaise]

1. Get thee to the greatest page

Just because

[Scrivener7]

2. Much less than 6 months ago! Just about 4 months ago.

Such a relief.

[lark]

3. Sad to be a downer, but the success is not nationwide.

All the red states lag far behind, and are still following the former guys sociopathic lies. He didn't fail here, although he sure should have if people would pull their heads out of their asses and vote for their own good instead of for the hurt of the other.

[Bird Lady]

5. You're not the downer

Red states are the downers.

[usaf-vet]

22. As summer approaches and the possibility to travel soon every decision we make of where to go.....

.... and spend our retirement money is based on safety. WE WILL NOT SPEND OUR MONEY in those states that willfully deny science and expose their citizens and travelers to unnecessary Covid-19 risks.

[Ligyron]

29. Amen!

[Ligyron]

30. Amen!

[lark]

38. i have never been to Charlotte or Williamsburg and wanted to go there soon.

Based on the vaccination rates, we are seriously considering forgetting about that. We're considering waiting and going to the Keys where the vaccination rate is high for my husbands birthday in August. We also plan on going to NE for fall tree & maple run, but have no idea where the best places or times for this are. Guess I will be doing some research. We have definitely decided no Europe this year.

[paleotn]

9. I know and it irritates the hell out of me.

We are so close. So close. But oh no.

[Volaris]

18. Dont fret. Between the peeps who had covid and lived but didnt get vaxxed,

All us who did get shots, the text percent more who WILL, AND THE OTHER TEN PERCENT THAT ARE STILL GONNA DIE CAUSE THEYRE STUPID, we closer to herd immunity than I suspect a lot of people think.

[patphil]

10. Red states do lag far behind.

You can see it here:

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/28/960901166/how-is-the-covid-19-vaccination-campaign-going-in-your-state

Scroll way down to the linear graphs for full immunization and at least one dose.
It's really quite obvious, and quite disturbing.
The northeast is way ahead of the deep south.

17. He was just the useful narcissist. The GOP still follows the same mandate.

They could pull away from him at any time. That's been true for five years now. They choose not to do so because he & his captured army of radicals are so, so very useful.

[keithbvadu2]

4. Trump killed off over half a million Americans with his Trump Virus.

Trump killed off over half a million Americans with his Trump Virus.

Biden is improving the situation.

[patphil]

12. As far as the United States is concerned, it's definitely the Trump virus.

Trump got us to #1 in both cases and fatalities.

[lastlib]

6. The ones not getting vaccinated are former douchenozzle's ball-lickers....

...and I'm losing what care I had that they die from this bug. I know what an awful human being it makes me, but I'm done with the deplorables.

[33taw]

7. Agree completely.

[Thtwudbeme]

8. And the "natural food" anti-vaxxers

I am done with all of them.

I read my horoscopes, get my chakras balanced, own a pair of moccasins and live in birkenstocks, drive an old Subaru and shop at Whole Foods.

I was one of the first folks in NC that signed up ASAP the second my age group was allowed.

[paleotn]

11. Thank you!

[druidity33]

31. Yup. I work at a co-op. Otherwise smart people...

are being incredibly stupid. They're gonna have to keep wearing their masks if they don't get vaxxed... at my workplace at least.

[Boomerproud]

25. They are the horrible people.

Putting lives at unnecessary risk because of stupidity and selfishness. No tears. History will be cruel to them if truth be told.

[Skittles]

27. the are still some "on the fence" folk who are not part of the cult

people if you know any of these folk, encourage them.....I've had two successes so far

[lame54]

13. The goal is...

230,000,000 get their first shot by July 4th

[DFW]

14. Just a year ago, it was more like this:

[calimary]

15. Credit where credit is due.

Things started picking back up rather noticeably once the REAL adults were back in charge.

[NewJeffCT]

26. Yes - if Trump had won & we continued on that same path

we'd be lucky to be at half the vaccination rates we're at now and states would have to fight over getting doses. And, Trump would be on TV telling us world leaders are calling him and telling him he's doing the greatest job ever...

[C Moon]

16. Hurray! Got my second Friday. Yesterday was like a very mild flu, but that was it.

[ffr]

19. Damn you, whomever REC 100 was!

[Hekate]

20. 100th Rec

[llmart]

21. This is in addition to everything else they've done so far.

They've got a full plate and were handed a nightmare and in less than five months they've done wonders.

I'm just so delighted that we don't have 24/7 nightmarish news from the prior goof off.

[mcar]

23. An amazing success

The media should be screaming this from the rooftops.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. Nonsense! If Kushner were in charge of vaccinations, we'd be at 110% already.

He was THIS CLOSE to greatness, if only an election hadn't been stolen.

Wait, no, I just had a nightmare that I was Q.

[joetheman]

28. Businesses should begin to leave red states that don't reach at leas 60% vaxx or

take on the risk of their employees contracting COVID and being sued.

[Progressive Jones]

32. Donald Trump has brought us this vaccine @warp speed, and he is UNFAIRLY not being given

credit for this! He did wonderful things for this country! Wonderful things!

He is unfairly, and brutally, being demonized. The proof of that is his election was stolen.

He's in protection from the virus now, so when Joe Biden is arrested, President Trump can LEAD OUR GREATNESS AGAIN !!!1111

[elias7]

33. 58%! Like the Red Cross, United Appeal, UNICEF drives in school.

C’mon, let’s get to 60%, then 70%...

[Rhiannon12866]

34. Phenomenal and amazing - but it's still just a start if we want to achieve what passes as "normal"

Here in New York, my county has done exceptionally well. It's amazingly one of the top in the nation. But we still have a long way to go, yet what I've seen is encouraging. On Friday, I took my brother to get his second shot at the state run facility at the local mall where they've started accepting walk-ins. The place was even busier than it was when I took him 3 weeks ago to get shot#1 - and there were not only older and middle-aged people going in, but saw some teens as well. I watched a young girl and an even younger boy (with half-green hair!) come out, each with their moms, and take a photo outside to commemorate the occasion.

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. It is an absolutely RESOUNDING success and a win for the President.

Damned near a miracle, compared to what he was left with.

Once we got our program off the ground (ie, were able to get some vaccine in quantity), Canada has done smiilarly well.

[mahina]

36. Hurray, and agreed.

About the former guy. What would he have done differently if that were his goal? Nothing.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

37. Best Administration of my lifetime, so far.

Given a cooperative Senate, they will surpass all FDR's Administrations.

[Johnny2X2X]

39. On another website, someone asked where I'd think we'd be if Trump was still in office

We have close to 300 million doses given with Biden, I have no doubt we wouldn't be at 150 Million right now if Trump was in office. Biden moved heaven and earth to set and meet ambitious goals.

We'll hit 50% of the population with at least 1 dose later this week, if Trump were President we'd be pushing 25% and here's what he'd be saying, "25%, we have the best vaccination effort in the world, no one thought we could get to 150 million before 2022, and here it is May. Many people are saying this is the greatest vaccine effort in human history, better than the polio vaccine."

He'd be bragging about doing shitty, that is 100% certain. And he'd have banned masks long ago and ordered all states to fully open and also have in person class. We're at 600K dead, with Trump we'd be pushing 900K by now with no real slowdown on the way to 1 million. There would be no effort to contain its spread.
