      The Pfizer plant in Michigan is working 3 shifts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no break for holidays. Why aren’t vaccination clinics working at the same level of urgency?https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/health/2021/02/07/how-covid-vaccine-made-step-step-journey-pfizer-dose/4371693001/ …

      Why do you think vaccination clinics are held back by hours, not supply? I think supply is the key bottleneck in most places. (I don't doubt there are still some locales that could speed up but overall... The overwhelming bottleneck seems like supply).

          looks more like a staffing problem to me.

          The continual back and forth--it's not supply, it's distribution! It's distribution, not supply!--isn't helpful. It's both. Vaccination has been running behind production and is now about neck and neck but needs to be ready for more supply which is coming.pic.twitter.com/vaTXbKc6lj

          Isn't … isn't that back/forth exactly what your tweet does, though? What's the value of a 24/7 vaccination clinic if there's no vaccines to administer?

          Where did all of the vaccines go that were canceled over the last week due to weather? We’re they sent to other states? Held back?

          Yeah. And are people going to come in to get vaccinated at 3:00 in the morning in large numbers anyway? Much easier for a factory to work 24/7 than for a public-facing vaccination clinic.

          In the short term we are 100% supply constrained. In the medium term we are 100% demand/hesitancy constrained. We are not at all "sufficient supply & demand but not enough 3AM slots" constrained.

          Anyways, what a great @USATODAY article. Of the many heroes in the story, the unnamed engineers putting the whole Rube Goldberg thing together and making vast improvements on the fly...WOW
