Joe still has a almost two weeks left in his hundred days and should have over 100 million fully vaccinated and close to 150, million with a single shot. America went from a laughing stock to being the envy of the world real fucking quick! We are lagging behind you folks a bit in Canada, but I don't mind you folks getting vaccinated quick, America has had a year from Hell with 500,00 dead with Trump and the republicans trying to kill you in large numbers and steal your democracy. Americans need some good news and hope, Joe is delivering on both. See what a real president can do?
The state of the union speech will be interesting and I expect you'll have some fireworks on of July 4th and a have a victory to celebrate by then. My biggest concern are the Brazilian variant and kids, reports out of Brazil say it killed 1200 infants and is sickening young people and kids. Dunno when they will vaccinate adolescent teens and kids, but it might be awhile and by summer not many will want to wear a mask if cases are plunging. School transmission was supposedly low, but that was before a 100% more contagious Brazilian variant.

CDC: Half of US adults have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose
Roughly half of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released Saturday.
Across the country, more than 128 million people ages 18 and older have received at least one shot, with more than 82 million fully vaccinated with one of the three vaccines approved for emergency use in the U.S., the CDC said.
Overall, 49.7 percent of U.S. adults have received at least one vaccine dose, according to the
data, and nearly a third are fully vaccinated.
The milestone comes a day after the
CDC announced that 30 percent of U.S. adults had been fully vaccinated, a percentage likely to increase rapidly over the next few weeks following President
Biden’s decision to open up vaccine eligibility to all Americans ages 18 and older by Monday.
Three vaccines have received emergency authorization in the U.S. — inoculations by Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson — though federal officials this week
recommended a pause in administration of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to six reported cases of blood clots out of more than 6.8 million people who received the shot.
