Yeah, that makes sense. I would say that 3.5m is a LOT to have and not have given out. 3.5m people vaccinated, if 1% get covid, that's 35,000 cases. That's dead

Yeah, that makes sense. I would say that 3.5m is a LOT to have and not have given out. 3.5m people vaccinated, if 1% get covid, that's 35,000 cases. That's dead plus 350 dead plus 1750 hospitalisations (1 and 5% respectively). Probably a lot higher if its vulnerable people getting going without. I suppose we'd need a lot more data to confirm whether this understandably part of a ramp up or if its evidence of incompetent management...

It definitely is a lot to have and not have given out, but the overall ratio is something like 15 million doses administered out of 40 million distributed. (It's not clear if is really 40 million, but slow administration is a broad issue. And now there's a question of how much is going to be available each week; if the supply is X/week, it's going to be hard to convince people to build the capability to administer 2x/week)
