A Real Shot In the Arm

While Congress seeks to figure out how to pass the infrastructure package, here's some good news for a change.

On Tuesday, September 28, 1,380,000 Americans got a COVID vaccine, of the number of those who became  fully immunized went up 0.4 percent Monday.  Why is that good news?  Because the daily increase in the vaccination rate is normally 0.1 percent.  This means it shot up four times its normal daily rate.  It looks like a combination of fear of the delta corona and the increase of vaccine requirements is working.  No one in the media, as far as I can tell, made note of this.  They mostly looked at the sluggish progress of first-time doses and talked about children's vaccines that haven't been approved yet. 

But then, maybe there's a reason for that.  Today, the daily vaccination rate increase went back to its pathetic 0.1 percent.
