The MSM and more are blaming Trump for a slow rollout thus far. But if 12+ million doses have been sent out thus far (I wrongly wrote 20mil yesterday), and only somewhere over 2 million have been administered... well looks to me like the problem so far is administering them.

Millions Of COVID-19 Vaccines Have Yet To Be Used Since First US Distribution
Over 9 million COVID-19 vaccines have yet to be administered in the U.S. since they were initially distributed on Dec. 13, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Of the 12,409,050 doses of the vaccines that have been distributed, only 2,794,588 have been administered as of Wednesday morning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Federal officials wanted to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of 2020, though the CDC reports that only 2.8 million have received a COVID-19 vaccination, according to The New York Times.
“We are far, far behind where we need to be,” New York City Health Committee Chairman Mark Levine said, the New York Post reported. “We should be vaccinating 400,000 people a week.”
New York state has received 682,425 doses of the vaccines and administered 140,676, according to the CDC.
Many front-line workers in hospitals and nursing homes have refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine, a hurdle for public health officials as the US struggles to roll out inoculations around the country. https://t.co/TuoZjLoBHY

The federal government tasked the states and U.S. territories to establish a distribution plan and issued an interim playbook containing possible plans and information requests, according to the CDC. The playbook assumed distribution would develop over three phases, the first aimed at prioritizing certain groups like health care workers and high-risk individuals.
The state of California developed an exhaustive tier system to administer its first doses of the vaccine, assuming they wouldn’t receive enough to vaccinate all health care workers and long-term care residents, according to the AARP. California has received nearly 1.5 million doses of the vaccines and had administered 294,281 as of Wednesday, according to the CDC data.
Similarly, in Florida, only 176,729 of the state’s 783,600 vaccinations have been administered, according to the CDC. However, demand for the vaccines is high, and older individuals sat in lawn chairs overnight waiting to receive a dose, the New York Times reported.
