Here they are setting up the PR framework for them to hit their totally unacceptably low 100M doses goal by April 30th by planting stories that the odds were stacked against them.

In 99 days from now, we'll see the follow-ups about how they saved us all, despite the odds. https://twitter.com/AnaCabrera/status/1352220411988242434

I cannot emphasize how bad the reporting is on this. 100M is a stupid goal, when we were already vaccinating nearly 1M per day (and many days more than that) and before supply ramped up. We're doing this even as half the country's existing shots haven't been administered.

I'm no fan of federal control generally, but this has been the fault of states, and that's been very clear. And they're cleaning up their act.

Meanwhile, we're expecting more supply of existing orders to be released and a JnJ one-shot vaccine approval in the coming weeks.

We are ramping up administration, and we'll have MUCH more distribution in the coming weeks. Biden & media can disdain Trump all they want, but OWS was filled with extremely competent (and largely apolitical) people who even as late as last week were providing concrete plans.

100M is too low of a goal. Media need to push and push and push on this, instead of helping Biden Administration craft a narrative that they succeeded in spite of Trump's incompetence.

Remember how they condemned vaccines for months. Remember how they said this couldn't be done.

Let's say all we wanted was to hit 100M by April 30th. That would be administering only 828K shots a day, far fewer than we're doing now. Even with a holiday weekend + states having some big reporting lags due to technical issues, Bloomberg reports our 7-day average is... 912K.

Again, this is even before supply is ramped up.

OWS told states last week that in two weeks, their future supply allocation would be assessed by examining their % of shots administered (and supply re-routed to those actually giving shots).

This is giving state leaders the kick they needed to abandon hyper-structured plans that are delaying administration and wasting doses. It's working at getting more shots in arms.
