If he can get us to herd immunity by midsummer, Biden is going to go down as one of the top five greatest presidents of all time. If he manages to save summer, he might even turn a few GOPers into fans.

Now I know what they meant by “Sleepy Joe”.

We can all now rest easy and get a good night’s sleep with Joe at the helm.

From what I understand, America’s good neighbours will have their doses cut. Nice. Thanks Joe.

Somehow, I’m not surprised that the former administration tied its shoe laces together in trying to deal with this.
Now, I suppose, the only question is, ‘Did they intend to fall on their face?’ We can be confident someone else was to blame when it happened.

Sober judgment, truthful messaging, working the levers effectively. Refreshing. Meanwhile we learn that Donnie and Melania were vaccinated in January, proving once again they are self-serving at the expense of their supporters known as “the Trumpers.” Shameful.

Most likely they tried to insert business cronies into the supply chain, and when they failed at that, lost interest.

We should take advantage of the Charisma Gap (to the Right Wing), in Trump’s absence from the Political scene…

What is facing us is a criminal organization called the Republican Party…and what they are trying to do is very dull, methodical, charisma-free.

The examples of which are all over this site, today. Right in plain view for us.

Wait a minute I thought that Canada had secured enough doses for 9 times the amount of people up there.

Counting up all vaccine deals per capita, Canada leads the pack, with nearly nine doses per person (see ‘Best and worst supplied’). “Canada has done exactly what we would expect a high-income country to do, and they’ve done the right thing by their country,” says Andrea Taylor at Duke.

I realize that this was early reporting, but you know how you hear the first reporting and then fail to keep track. So if things changed, then I’m sorry.
