(President Trump's Operation Warp Speed Update)

(Cases and Hospitalizations beginning to plunge - Accelerating their decline even faster on this report (4th week) - Daily Deaths still high (1,961) - Vaccinations very weak on this report (328K/day) - first shots almost halted (19K), possibly due to big downward adjustment from West Virginia announced yesterday)

Administered: 387,821,704 (14,876,579 J&J)

People Vaccinated, At Least One Dose: 212,564,346

Fully Vaccinated: 182,587,334

Boosters: 2.37 Million

[BeauBo]

In the 24 hours since the last report:

Administered: 328K (extremely weak) (-12K J&J downward adjustment)

People Vaccinated, First Shot: 19,000 (Almost a dead halt). Probably due to a big downward revision in West Virginia, blamed on contractor error.

Fully Vaccinated: 199,000 (Very weak)

Boosters: 70K

% of Total Population With at least a First Shot: 64% (flat)

% of Those 18+ Years of Age (Adults w/1st shot): 76.7% (flat)

% of Those 65+ Years of Age (w/1st shot): 93.3% (flat) (83% Fully Vaccinated - flat)

Cases and Hospitalizations accelerating their decline further on this report. Starting to plunge. Consistent with Delta waves elsewhere after peaks - fast up and fast down.

1,961 Daily Deaths - Still up near the highs of the Delta Wave - should follow the drop in case numbers soon.

Vaccinations extremely weak (probably a one time hit by downward revision).

News Clippings:

Moderna CEO predicts when pandemic will end - one year, because of increasing vaccine production.

CNN: FDA issued an emergency use authorization to Pfizer for boosters in people 65 and older, those with underlying conditions putting them at high risk of severe disease, and for people whose jobs put them at high risk of exposure.

Reuters: Novavax applies to WHO for emergency listing of COVID-19 vaccine.

Reuters: Sweden eyes giving third COVID vaccine dose to more people... Sweden has vaccinated 83% of the population aged over 16 with one dose and 76% with two doses... "There are signals from abroad that indicate the protection from the vaccination is fading after some time, especially in those who are older"

CNN: Death rate four times higher in least vaccinated states. The average rate of Covid-19 deaths in the 10 least vaccinated states was more than four times higher over the past week than the rate in the 10 most vaccinated states, according to a CNN analysis. In the least vaccinated states, roughly eight people out of every 100,000 residents died of Covid-19 over the past week, compared with only about two out of every 100,000 people in the 10 most vaccinated states.

CNN: The pace of first Covid-19 vaccine doses is the slowest in two months, CDC data shows.

CNN: Vaccine protection against Covid-19 wanes over time, especially for older people. "For individuals 65 plus, we saw significant declines in VE (vaccine effectiveness) against infection during Delta for the mRNA products," (Ruth) Link-Gelles (CDC's Vaccine Effectiveness Team) told the a meeting of CDC vaccine advisers. "We also saw declines, particularly for Pfizer, for 65 up, that we're not seeing in younger populations... overall, Moderna's vaccine effectiveness is higher than Pfizer's. For the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, vaccine effectiveness actually increases with time, even after the Delta variant has dominated... "Coronaviruses often become endemic, and it is highly unlikely that we will prevent all mild or symptomatic respiratory infection," ACIP member Dr. Helen Keipp Talbot of Vanderbilt University told the meeting... So far, there's no evidence that getting vaccinated during pregnancy raises the risk of miscarriage or birth defects, several experts told the meeting.

Yahoo: The USA now ranks 39th in vaccination rate.

ABC: The delta variant is causing a surge in infections among kids in the U.S. and elsewhere, but experts say there are no strong signs that it is causing more severe disease for young patients.

Thanks for the continued updates, Beau.

Apparently CNN is lying again

NJ is 2nd in the national for total Corvid deaths

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/coronavirus/os-ne-coronavirus-covid-deaths-top-10-20210922-yoaxl6lzevdsvkdqspplb4eeme-story.html

They have a 71% vaccination rate

[MNJohnnie]

And digging deeper into the stats NY, RI, and MA, are all in the top 10 as well has having high vaccination rates

But hey never let the facts get in the way of the propaganda CNN.

[familyop]

Thanks. I saw much more traffic on nearby highways today than yesterday. Don’t know why. Maybe tomorrow’s numbers of vaccinations for today will be up.

[BeauBo]

Apparently they averaged the ten highest and the ten lowest, to get an outcome they liked.

Part of it may be that the Delta wave raged hard in the South over the last couple of months, but now it dropping there, but still picking up in States further North. Likely in another month or two, the results of such averaging will be different.

Vaccination is a factor, but they used statistics to make it look like a bigger deal than it may have been.

[familyop]

Crowded state.

[BeauBo]

I think today’s drop was a one-time reporting system anomaly, rather than a real event.

Big downward adjustment was announced in West Virginia, where a class of vaccinations had been being double counted by a contractor.

New York State includes

All very crowded.

"Big downward adjustment was announced in West Virginia, where a class of vaccinations had been being double counted by a contractor."

Okay. Now I see.

[DrewsMum]

It’s the leaky vaccine variant. Not delta.

[BeauBo]

Americans Fully Vaccinated:

55% of the Total Population

66% of Adults

83% of Seniors (65+)

So, where’s that novavax stuff.? That’s what I’m waiting for...

[DuncanWaring]

COVID vaccines - the world’s only product whose failure is blamed on those who don’t use it.

[DuncanWaring]

I’m waiting for the placebo.

[BeauBo]

“where’s that novavax stuff.?”

They just applied to WHO yesterday for emergency use authorization. They are not expected to file in the USA until the 4th quarter of this year.

They also have a combined COVID-19/Flu shot in testing.

Several countries have already booked orders for big shipments - there is a lot of confidence that their vaccine is safe and effective.

[SaxxonWoods]

Thanks as always. I’m amazed at the 93.3% vaccination figure for over 65 folks. I would have bet that wasn’t possible.

[wgmalabama]

People are not hiding in their house except to get vaccinated. Some of us worked through it all and now are getting ready to be fired. Are you joking. I cant tell.

[SaxxonWoods]

Every time I see Novavax I think is a erectile dysfunction drug.

[BeauBo]

“I’m amazed at the 93.3% vaccination figure for over 65 folks.”

Freeper 2AProtectstheRest predicted it several months ago, based on historical norms for vaccination efforts.
