This thread will serve as a daily countdown to the day that jergul is thoroughly humiliated.

March 17:

% of US that has received at least 1 dose: 22.2%
% of US fully vaccinated: 12%

Currently for FULLY vaccinated per 100 people (meaning, both doses if needed)

US- 11.7%

Norway- 4.8%

Germany- 3.6%

UK- 2.5%

---------

Atleast one dose given per 100.

US-33.11

Norway-13.02

Germany-11.76

UK-39.04 *huge jump*

Doses being put in arms weekly per 100 (single dose) 7 day rolling average.

US-0.73

Norway-0.25

Germany-0.28

UK-0.57

At this rate Norways strategy may be to catch up by slowing down-ancient Chinese secret.

Jergul, We compare notes all the time, look at death and infection rate comparisons, economic etc.

The weekly rolling average helps give us information about the pace.

Are you expecting a sudden upswing in performance? or even to meet your set goals?

Canada is failing as well, they bet on 5 European factories for doses because they feared the US would impose export bans....like the EU is flirting with.

Germany has done so badly it cost Merkles party votes.

Europe in general has done poorly.Serbia leads the way but with chinese vaccinnes. Despite what Sam says the UK isnt doing that bad, if they can pull of the 2nd doses, they will have done great.

Do I expect vaccine delivery to increase? Yes.

It ultimately does not matter much now. We have vaccinated our most vulnerable and have lost 3 per million compared to the US 55 per million over the last 14 days.

The lockdowns are now just irritants (The State increased its sovereign wealth despite high spending in 2020. People increased their saving due to really generous benefits during shutdowns).

Let me ask you this. Who do you think will first fully vaccinate 50% of its population.

Norway or the US?

woah, woah , woah, what happened to a baseball game?

50% seems an oddly arbitrary number.

But if current rates hold, the US will outpace the EU and Norway to 50%.What do you think will change that rate?

Do you mean fully vaccinate or atleast 1 dose?

Norway claims to have 1.3 million high risk people according to Reuters. that's what roughly 25% of the population? considering only 5 % are fully vaccinated , t does not have its high risk population FV.

Trumps warp speed program was less risk averse, pouring loads of cash at producers and buying millions of doses before we knew which wpuld pan out.

The EU squabbled over if they could sue, and bought fewer doses later trying to get a better price and was sluggish to spend money.

To top it off, US manufacturers are keeping pace with demand better than most if not all of the world afaik, perhaps Im wrong about that.


Norway was using 3 vaccines AFAIK

Pfizer

AZ

Moderna

They are no longer using AZ and the two they are using still are heavily used by the US, even Biden has a bit of America first in him.

Now the only thing Europe may* have an advantage on is less vaccinne hesitancy.Is that the basis of your thought process on why we will struggle to reach an arbitrary 50%?

I dont know much about Norweigan hesitancy, I know that about 40% of the population wouldnt get a vaccinne if they could this week, the US is about 50% IIRC.

As for Western Europe, they seem more concerned about vaccine safety than N. America, but then again Norway just stopped using 1 ofnits 3 vaccines.

Perhaps you will catch up eventually, only time will tell.

Capitalism doesnt work in wartime. Profiteering counters the national good. Aka WWII command and control economy on the US side. Capitalism made sure the factories were in place though.

But that was in 1939. We moved all our factories to China and would take 4 years to mobilize for all-out war.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. on Friday cleared President Joe Biden’s goal of injecting 100 million coronavirus shots, more than a month before his target date of his 100th day in office, as the president prepared to set his sights higher in the nationwide vaccination effort.

With the nation now administering about 2.5 million shots per day, Biden, who promised to set a new goal for vaccinations next week, teased the possibility of setting a 200 million dose goal by his 100th day in office.

“We may be able to double it,” he told reporters before leaving the White House for Atlanta. His comments come as the U.S. is on pace to have enough of the three currently authorized vaccines to cover the entire adult population just 10 weeks from now.

Jergul

The relevant metric is the sum of 1st dose and 2nd dose recipients, as that indicates the rate of vaccines being administered.

March 19: +0.9% (3 million doses)
March 20: +1.0% (3.3 million doses
March 21: +0.9% (3 million doses)
March 22: +0.6% (2 million doses)

So today saw a 1 million reduction is doses administered. That may be a one-day statistical anomaly, or it may be the initial sign of a trend. If so, it's worth noting that most Americans are still ineligible to get the vaccine as states continue to prioritize higher risk individuals.

Eventually, most people in the higher risk pool will have gotten the vaccine, and we can expand the eligibility pool to more and more Americans.
Rugian
Member
Mon Mar 22 15:18:51
I just checked Massachusetts' schedule for vaccine rollout. People aged 55-64 are eligible to receive it starting April 5; anyone over the age of 16 can receive it April 19.

That sounds about right. Just under 70% of all Americans aged 65 and older have already gotten at least one shot; in a few weeks most if not all of those people will be fully vaccinated.
jergul

The relevant metric for measuring how many people are getting fully vaccinated is of course how many people are getting fully vaccinated.

You seem to be saying that about 65% of the population 65+ will get fully vaccinated.

You sure you don't want to revisit your thoughts on more than 50% of the total US population being fully vaccinated by the end of May?

Rugian
Member
Mon Mar 22 16:02:17
"The relevant metric for measuring how many people are getting fully vaccinated is of course how many people are getting fully vaccinated."

How is that? If a person has gotten a 1st dose, that strongly suggests he's willing to get a 2nd.

25% of the population with at least one dose today implies 25% of the population being fully vaccinated in less than a month.

"You sure you don't want to revisit your thoughts on more than 50% of the total US population being fully vaccinated by the end of May?"

There may be some variation on this front in terms of scheduling (states may choose for example to prioritize giving 1st doses and defer giving 2nd doses for a few weeks), but yes this is a reasonable projection.

You really need to stop acting like it isn't.

7 day rolling average is indeed a more reasonable measure. Individual days should not be looked at in isolation, rather the data points being presented should be linked together as part of a trend.

I distinctly recall explaining to jergul why looking at full vaccination rates in isolation is not smart. Am I hallucinating, or did I not already do this?

Fully vaccinated rates are a function of total vaccination rates. The quicker you get people to get their first dose, the quicker you can get them to their second.

Put another way. There will come a day when most everyone who wanted to get vaccinated has gotten their first shot. At that point, the majority of shots that can be administered will be administered to people getting their second shot.

In other words, total doses administered is the relevant metric.

Jergul's failure to recognize that the rate 1st doses are administered is important, because today's 1st doses are next month's 2nd doses, goes a long way in explaining his greater failure in projecting vaccination rates generally.

And just look at those 1st doses!

Fun fact. The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is actually developed by Jansen and the US supply is currently coming from a factory in Leiden (US domestic production is coming, but not there yet).

Or might not be, given the lack of exports of Pfizer vaccine to the EU as contacted, due to US export controls.

this thread is like watching jergul, seb and cuckhat get their ass beat because someone shoved a banana down their pants and released a monkey. the complete failure of socialized medicine is shown in every statistic and there is nothing they can say to discount it beyond vaguely claiming some unforseen issue will come up to help them save face.

and the funniest part? this will have zero effect on their ideological beliefs. they are incapable of growth and change despite what they see and experience.
