The administration promised a few weeks ago that 20 million Americans would be vaccinated by the end of the year, which is the day after tomorrow.

As of today the official CDC tally of people who have received the first dose of either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine is 2.1 million.

Now this tally is low because of reporting lags, but as of today only 11 million doses of the two vaccines have even been distributed, so even if you make the wildly optimistic assumption that all those doses will have been administered by Thursday, that’s still missing the promised distribution level by nearly 50%.

The situation is so bad that Joe Biden is upbraiding Trump for this failure, while Trump himself doesn’t seem to be paying the slightest attention to the biggest public health crisis in modern American history. Instead he’s currently obsessing over Melania’s interior decorating choices, which are apparently not to his taste, that based on the available photographic evidence seem to lean toward turn of the century New Orleans bordello.
