Dead last.

You hear a lot of excuses from leaders out here about how the slow vaccination rates are due to a supply issue.

38% of shots used isn’t a supply issue. https://t.co/cmNVItmtZb

@NateSilver538 When a large steady supply of vaccines actually arrive (not allocated)in each state, then we will progress faster. MN gets 60,000/week. We can inject that many in a day once we can vaccinate anyone. The priority groups are taking longer to complete. We will get there together.
