And yet here we are at the end of 2020 with 2 million vaccinations, not the promised 20M. And in the same period of time, 3M have caught the disease.

- throwaway4good 6y agoYes. The pandemic has far from peaked and the plans and projections are overly optimistic.
- ryanwaggoner 6y agoActually, the claim was that 20M doses would be available, not administered. And just over 11M have been distributed, with 2.5 days remaining in the year. That's pretty good considering that quote was from three weeks ago. We can always do better, but I'm shocked at how well this has gone over the last month.
- garmaine 6y agoI’m not. At this rate it will take 8 years to fully vaccinate.
- ryanwaggoner 6y agoThere’s no reason to expect it’ll continue at this rate.
- rajbot 6y ago20M is the number they switched to after failing to meet their estimate from 3 months ago. In October, HHS Secretary Azar said that Operation Warp Speed would deliver 100 million doses by the end of the year. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/520297-us-could-have-enough-covid-19-vaccine-for-every https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-c...
