One of the more interesting things to watch is the media narrative around vaccines

Joe Biden's original 100-day goal was to *distribute* 100 million vaccines in his first 100 days.

This was in early December

We will easily make that goal. We've been doing about 1 million vaccines distributed per day since we started sending vaccines out.

As that became clearer, the goal (appropriately) shifts to "100 million shots in arms" as the target

If we continue at our *current* trajectory, we will be right on the edge of 100 million shot in arms at the 100 day mark

Despite that truth, the media is calling the current rollout "disastrous" and "slow" and Biden's plan "ambitious"

Either Joe Biden's vaccination goal is slow, disastrous, and inadequate or our current rollout is ambitious and successful.

Those are the options.

There are no other options.
I suppose there is another option, which is that this rollout has been reasonably competent and the Biden administration has a firm belief that they can continue providing services at the reasonably competent rates of the current administration.
