The CDC unveiled an interactive vaccine-tracking map on Thursday. The map shows how many vaccine doses each state has been allocated. It also shows how many shots each has administered so far, reports Business Insider. The US fell far short of its goal to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of 2020. At its current pace, it would take the country 9 years to vaccinate the whole population. The pace must pick up in order for the vaccine to combat the virus effectively.
Every week, Rudy Giuliani posts a video to YouTube as part of his series, 'Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense.' There, the former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to President Donald Trump discusses political issues. Business Insider reports Friday's episode was a strange, 17-minute affair in which Giuliani pounded his desk making unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud. Citing no evidence, Giuliani called mail-in ballots 'unconstitutional' and a strategy for Democrats to hold back votes until they are needed in tight races. He also raged against Fox News for calling Arizona for Joe Biden. Thursday, pro-Trump protesters, some armed, tried to enter an Arizona polling station where votes were being counted in Maricopa County. Giuliani interrupted his own diatribe with two commercial breaks. In the second one, he smokes and promotes a 'real cigar' company with his discount code.
