High Hopes for Johnson & Johnson’s Covid Vaccine Have Fizzled in the U.S.
Production problems and a brief pause on its use kept the one-dose vaccine from becoming the game changer that health officials across the country believed it would be.
But with only 11.8 million doses administered in the United States so far — less than 4 percent of the total — the “one and done” vaccine has fallen flat. States have warned for weeks that they may not find recipients for millions of doses that will soon expire, partly because the vaccine’s appeal dropped after it was linked to a rare but serious blood-clotting disorder and injections were paused for 10 days in April.
The vaccine took another hit last week, when regulators told Johnson & Johnson that it should throw out tens of millions of additional doses produced at a plant in Baltimore because they might be contaminated. The diminished supply and enthusiasm for the shot mean that its role in the United States is fading fast, even though millions of Americans have yet to be vaccinated. “It’s just not what I think anybody would have hoped it would be when it came out,” said Dave Baden, the chief financial officer of the Oregon Health Authority.
Health officials in a number of other states presented a similarly discouraging picture. The pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, they said, effectively kicked it aside for good; only about 3.5 million doses have been used since the pause was lifted on April 23. Kim Deti, a spokeswoman for the Wyoming Health Department, said the graph of uptake in her state told the vaccine’s story: a significant climb in the early weeks of its rollout, followed by a plateau that began around the pause.
Funniest part about that is Von der Leyen pretending they won.
She should be resigning in disgrace at this point. Every stereotype of the 'EU Mafia' there ever was personified during the COVID crisis in her.

Worth remembering these kind of posts are from people good with statistics, using potentially inaccurate data sources. Best we’ve got of course but don’t take for gospel - lots of error potential
3k less then then the 50% growth rate today of previous weeks, 2k yesterday, hopefully it’s peaked at 12k we saw yesterday or we start seeing a further decline in the growth rate.
Agree that very important to check the background of people to ensure they are using accurate data and appreciate he isn’t blue check-marked but he is the maths prof referred to in this story
he’s frequently referenced by the data guy at FT who has been focusing on Covid
And Channel 5 have used his charts (~1.5 min in)
so although I personally haven’t double checked his data sources I’d hope at least one of them has.
Nah it'll start coming down in a week or so..

I have a horrible feeling you mean that in totality and not just in pandemic times.
My wife works in schools in the city (Liverpool). According to her, schools are having to close bubbles at a rate similar to the winter peak if not more so.
Perhaps it's anecdotal, but from that alone it's not unrealistic to believe that the infection rates are pushing up again or at least in that demographic.
