Dr. Fauci believes the U.S. can fix the surprisingly slow COVID-19 vaccine rollout

[Yoni Heisler]

• 4.5 million Americans have already received a coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer or Moderna.
• The figure is a lot lower than many health experts were anticipating.
• Dr. Fauci believes the U.S. can ramp up distribution and start vaccinating 1 million Americans every day over the next few weeks.

The optimism that accompanied the first wave of coronavirus vaccinations in the U.S. has given way to frustration on account of a slower than anticipated rollout. According to recent data from the CDC, 4.5 million Americans have been vaccinated over the past two weeks, a figure which is significantly lower than what many health experts were hoping for. Recall, Moncef Slaoui, a top advisor to Operation Warp Speed, predicted that upwards of 20 million Americans would be vaccinated by the end of January.

"We agree that that number is lower than what we hoped for," Slaoui said last week. "We know that it should be better and we're working hard to make it better."
