The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that 75.4 percent of the US population age 12 and older has received at least one dose of vaccine, with 65 percent being fully vaccinated.
What this means is the one-quarter of the US population that is able to be vaccinated has not received even one dose of vaccine.
Axios does report some hopeful news, though - that "new coronavirus infections in the U.S. fell by 25% over the past two weeks ⦠The U.S. is now averaging roughly 114,000 new cases per day. That's still a lot, but it's a significant improvement from this summer, when the Delta variant unleashed a new wave of infections, hospitalizations and death.
Important to keep in mind that public health officials have largely said that the goal, in order to say that the pandemic really is under control, has to be 20,000 new cases a day or fewer.
Axios also says that "Alaska experienced the country's biggest COVID spike over the past two weeks, and is now averaging more cases per capita than any other state.
Tennessee saw the biggest improvement over the past two weeks, while Connecticut has the lowest absolute number of cases per capita, at just 14 per 100,000 people."
whenever i see "intelligent peeps/leaders" making moves like this i always think to myself:
why? what do they know (or recognize) that we don't know
especially if we're all looking at the same or similar data
It's not a bad point, just premature. And as I noted, her caveat that it should be done once we commit to expanding hospital capacity means it's impossible here. I mean, we'll still do it, probably, but without the health care system to take care of the inevitable crush of need...
Eyes on the prize. This is â or should be â about getting COVID-19 under control; preventing hospitalizations and deaths. It is not about illegal immigration. That, at most, is an issue on the margin.
Not when you can use it as another way to complain about immigration policy

I do not see Trump insisting on mandates as we are seeing them today. And he has not that I am aware of. He has strongly encouraged vaccination, but has never supported a mandate to do so.
Fail.
If trump has strongly encouraged vaccination, where is the video of him calling for attendees at his rallies to get vaccinated? When did he call tucker out of the blue to tell his audience to get vaccinated? When did he call out vaccine disinformation? When did he come out and say he supports CDC advice on getting vaccinated? etc. etc.
He in no way has shown leadership in encouraging vaccination and fighting vaccine misinformation.

You missed the point.
Epic Fail.
You don't have a point other than all things and anything related to Trump are wrong.
