Each hospital and medical center applies for what they are allotted (by size). Production of the vaccine and transportation as well as distribution must also be considered.Did anyone bother to tell him that, at that rate, it will take nearly a year and a half to vaccinate 80% of Americans, or that the the vaccine rollout that "has been a dismal failure thus far" is already vaccinating people at nearly that rate?

How is production and transportation exceeding the distribution of the vaccine? There is no problem here, other there are more people requesting the vaccine than there is vaccine available, and there's more than enough nurses to administer it.Production and transportation of doses to the states is outstripping their ability to administer them (which they are already doing at all but a million doses per day).

You said " Production and transportation of doses to the states is outstripping...)"Then why is more than half of the vaccine distributed to the states (that's first doses) still sitting in freezers?
He knows...and he doesn't care. It's a sound bite.Did anyone bother to tell him that, at that rate, it will take nearly a year and a half to vaccinate 80% of Americans, or that the the vaccine rollout that "has been a dismal failure thus far" is already vaccinating people at nearly that rate?

Considering the current pace, it's probably a realistic goal.
How do you get a year and a half? The population is 328 million. Exclude very small children and we are talking about 300 days to get 100%Did anyone bother to tell him that, at that rate, it will take nearly a year and a half to vaccinate 80% of Americans, or that the the vaccine rollout that "has been a dismal failure thus far" is already vaccinating people at nearly that rate?
I'm always amazed at how conservatives can take one quote to prove everything they want to believe but just cant grasp the repeated lies and incompetence of trump and republicans. You know what, lets compare that one quote to "covid will magically disappear."He knows...and he doesn't care. It's a sound bite.
Kind of like, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

Why is it unacceptably slow? What country our size or bigger is doing it faster?330M people X 80% = 264M people
264M people X 2 doses/person = 528M doses
528M doses - 15M doses already administered (est. by inauguration) = 513 doses
513 doses X 1 day/1M doses = 513 days = 1.4 years.
Of course, this could be reduced somewhat if the J&J vaccine comes out as a single dose vaccine, but it is still unacceptably slow.
We’re currently running at 1/3rd that rate. It’s been a month and 2.8% of the population has been vaccinated. That’s about 310,000 people per day.Did anyone bother to tell him that, at that rate, it will take nearly a year and a half to vaccinate 80% of Americans, or that the the vaccine rollout that "has been a dismal failure thus far" is already vaccinating people at nearly that rate?

It is unacceptably slow if the idea is to get back to “normal” as soon as is reasonably possible. Another year and a half isn’t reasonable.Why is it unacceptably slow? What country our size or bigger is doing it faster?
Compared to what? What country our size is doing it better?It is unacceptably slow if the idea is to get back to “normal” as soon as is reasonably possible. Another year and a half isn’t reasonable.
Prove it. What country our size is doing it better?Because, according to Biden's own words, vaccinating nearly 1M people per day is a "disaster."
And, because there's no good reason we can't do better than that.

Really, because on January 5th only about 200,000 vaccines were injected. And a million a day would result in our entire population being vaccinated in about 11 months.Did anyone bother to tell him that, at that rate, it will take nearly a year and a half to vaccinate 80% of Americans, or that the the vaccine rollout that "has been a dismal failure thus far" is already vaccinating people at nearly that rate?

It’s the wrong yardstick. The goal isn’t to vaccinate as quickly or quicker that some other country. The goal is to get enough people vaccinated so that life returns to normal. I don’t think anyone would consider a year and a half acceptable.Compared to what? What country our size is doing it better?
But why not? Are you saying it doesnt FEEL acceptable or is there some standard that shows it could be done faster?It’s the wrong yardstick.

The government’s own measure was 20,000,000 people by end of December. The missed that by a pretty wide margin.
