re: #181 Belafon

It’s same thing where he claimed that he’d get to 1 million tests. We got there eventually, but the slow pace meant that it was a meaningless step since we needed far more than that to contain spread. He’s always running behind the curve. It’s as though the GOP doesn’t know or care about basic math and public health principles.

200,000k a day is a drop in the bucket if you’re trying to get to herd immunity levels of 50% minimum, let alone the more likely 70% or above.

You’d need to get 500,000 a day vaccinated to get to above 50% in a year. That’s a scale not seen since the polio vaccination effort days.
