Listen: How Badly Is Vaccination Going?
Operation Warp Speed pledged to vaccinate 20 million Americans by the end of 2020. We fell far, far short of that. How worried should we be?
Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary of homeland security and an Atlantic contributor, joins staff writer James Hamblin and executive producer Katherine Wells on the podcast Social Distance. She explains what’s going on, what the problems have been, and why we shouldn’t be too concerned (yet).
They’re also joined by a listener named Craig, who’s seeking advice on a tough situation: When can you travel to see an ill family member?
