With just a few days left in the year, alarm bells are going off among health officials. Many are worried about the slow effort to administer doses of Covid-19 vaccine by the end of the year. The federal government's Operation Warp Speed had promised much more than it provided. It promised that 20 million doses would be administered before January 1, says CNN. Yet the latest data from the CDC shows that just over 11 million doses have been distributed. Additionally, only 2.1 million have actually been administered to people.

The content posted on four Hebrew-language groups included photos, videos, and text posts, per the report. It said vaccines included microscopic tracking chips. "It's a small shot for a person and a huge step toward the health of us all," he said, per The Jerusalem Post. In March 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic hit, Facebook announced its plans to reduce the spread of vaccine misinformation. Officials from the Israeli justice ministry asked the social media company to remove four groups that had posted "deliberately mendacious content designed to mislead about coronavirus vaccines," a ministry representative told Reuters.
General Gustave Perna is chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed. On Saturday, he apologized for a "planning error" that caused dozens of states to expect more vaccine doses than they'll actually get. Dozens of states have said they will receive 30% to 40% fewer doses of Pfizer's vaccine next week than they were expecting. Perna said that was a result of estimates he gave for planning purposes that wound up being incorrect. "I failed," Perna said. "I am adjusting, I am fixing, and we will move forward from there."
