29M People, 1.7M Doses.  The Hunger Games Rollout in Texas - a podcast by WFAA

There are nearly 29-million Texans.  But as of January 25, 2021, after a month of distribution, fewer than 1.5 Million of those Texans have received a single dose of the vaccine.  Only 266,000 Texans have received both doses.  At that rate, it would take nearly two years for Texans just to get one dose and nearly five years for all Texans to be fully vaccinated.  If the vaccine was developed in record time, one Texas lawmaker wants to know why the state’s distribution plan wasn’t ready.  And he tells the Jasons why he thinks we’re out of time.  But in the middle of a situation that is only seemingly getting worse, there is some hope… a bright spot in the Texas panhandle after a call that surprised the Jasons.
