Another Spectacular Failure

In September, Donald Trump promised 100 million Covid-19 vaccinations by the end of the year. Well, today is the last day of 2020 and only about two million Americans have been vaccinated.

Chalk that up on the list of Trump's biggest lies.

Yesterday at New York magazine, David Wallace-Wells wrote a good column (link here) with the title "America’s Vaccine Rollout Is Already a Disaster."

This statistic in the article is sobering: at the current rate of distribution, it will take seven years for a necessary number of Americans to be vaccinated in order to achieve "herd immunity" and thus effectively stop the virus's spread.

Of course, it's obvious Trump has completely abandoned the vaccination rollout along with all his other presidential functions. He's so busy tweeting lies about the election he lost that he doesn't have time to focus on anything else.
