Influential government advisers are beginning to debate just which Americans should get an extra dose of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine — even though regulators haven't yet cleared the extra shots. https://t.co/LnLzVqq9i1

He refused to give even a modicum of credit to Trump. Biden and his team pretended as though they'd walked into a mess, and any positive development that might come of the Covid vaccine would be due to Joe Biden's visionary and courageous leadership. https://t.co/jZouRcmYaL

Biden and the American Left have injected politics into everything in our lives, including basic medical and health issues. Biden set up the narrative that the more people who get vaccinated, the more triumphant he would be. https://t.co/jZouRcmYaL

The vaccine rollout would be the first major triumph of the Biden presidency. It was almost as though if Biden only accomplished this one task, his presidency would already be a success. Hell, they were going to build statues of Biden over this. https://t.co/jZouRcmYaL

Biden made the vaccine a measure of HIS success.

If you got the shot, Biden got another point on the scoreboard. You getting the shot made Biden a success.

A pandemic by definition is a global crisis. It won’t end until we vaccinate the world.
Great piece by @JInterlandi. https://t.co/dOZJrmskfs
'We’ll need more than meetings and donations. We’ll need an entirely new global vaccination apparatus.' Great piece on the failure of the market to deal with vaccinating the world. We need planning & coordination, not patents & profits #PeoplesVaccine https://t.co/NRJs4pt4P1

ICYMI, @JInterlandi takes a big swing at vaccine equity. Vaccinating the world will be challenging, costly and require short-term sacrifices, "but almost any amount of money will be worth it" https://t.co/yAkKb9FxLl

Our inept/corrupt public health bureaucracy has failed us.
We should have let the virus run its course to achieve herd immunity.
Now we are fighting a pandemic of tyrannical government.https://t.co/vmrLZbPla0

"The People’s Vaccine Alliance estimated in June that at the current pace, it would take 57y for low-income countries to vaccinate their entire populations.

High-income countries will do so within next 6 months (hesitancy notwithstanding)."https://t.co/w0G8iQhBQC @JInterlandi
Fantastic piece by Janeen Interlandi summarizing the dismal roll out of vaccines. We were supposed to get 2b doses to poor countries this year through COVAX. But only 270m so far. We won't be safe until rich countries treat this with 'warp speed' urgency https://t.co/ehIa1MdpQF

This is big news for emergency medicine doctors like myself -- a Pfizer booster shot would provide a lot of much needed reassurance for physically and emotionally exhausted providers wondering if we will ever feel relatively safe at work ever againhttps://t.co/rMnIDdv3Xm

Great piece by @JInterlandi calling vaccine donations "a flimsy fix for such rampant inequity" and emphasizing how "electricity for cold storage, trained health workers for vaccine administration & campaigns to combat hesitancy all need to be bolstered." https://t.co/bWqFzN4gGO

Hesitancy notwithstanding, high-income countries will vaccinate almost everyone within the next six months. The People’s Vaccine Alliance estimates that it will take 57 years for low-income countries to do the same. https://t.co/tdOETTok33
