It’s actually not that bad honestly the vaccine got shipped mid December so like 20 days to get 5 million people vaccinated isn’t so bad. Still a long ways to go but at least we’re on the path now
That's true, but the real important milestone is when everyone who is vulnerable gets vaccinated. That'll still take way longer than it should, but not 4 years at least
Very true, I'm a healthy young person who used to run at least a couple miles every day, and since first being symptomatic on Monday have barely been able to get out of bed.
Fair point, I guess I didn't think of it in terms of how large the U.S population is. You do have to factor in herd immunity and previous covid cases, so with herd immunity scale that to 70% of its original timeframe and then knock off 20 million people who have already had it as current science says contracting covid twice is extremely rare. Still longer than I would have expected although I do expect a ramp up

At this rate it'll take almost 4 years to vaccinate everyone

Everyone is vulnerable and pretending we aren't is how you end up spreading it around and encouraging mutations.

I hope you get better quick. :(

5m / 20 days means 60 x 20 days to get to 300m, so 1200 days, or 3 years abouts.
I'm not super impressed tbh
