Lots of super centers in CT for vaccinations. There are state run places. look it up. Teachers can get vaccinated starting Monday. 65+ are the people that die when others who dont stay indoors and go to work, school, bar etc. If you know someone has a gun do you buy the bullet proof vest for that person?

Biden is remarkable in getting the vaccine out. Ramping up quickly to 1.5 million per day. Unfortunately, that is still less than 30,000 per day for CT. But as CT is one of the best states for distribution efficiency we are all going to be vaccinated soon (except the anti-vaxxers). We will have to make it mandatory once we get through the first wave.

It was well on its way there on Jan 20th...they were already over a million and steadily climbing at that point

do you have some facts to back that up or is this just speculation because I have not seen any evidence of this?...regardless ALL pork should be removed

Totally agree, but I also agree with the other poster that the GOP does the same things all the time.

The smaller relief bill the GOP presented in July had $29B in Pentagon spending

Trump had his own pork in a later bill

Highest Trump hit was 920K the day of the inauguration. Biden wanted to hit 1M a day and is currently hitting 1.5M. We should get to 2M a day in the next 4-6 weeks as manufacturers get even more supply out.

Wait....this is in the covid Bill?
One strategy that McConnell, McCarthy and House GOP Whip Steve Scalise are now deploying is to draw attention to funding projects within the bill that are tied to the districts and states of key Democratic leaders. The House GOP leaders singled out two examples on Wednesday: a $100 million rapid transit project in the Bay Area in the home state of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and $1.5 million that would be spent on the Seaway International Bridge over the St. Lawrence River between Canada and upstate New York, which is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's home state.

Now that’s pork.......trump tried to drain the swamp but Biden has pulled out firehoses to refill it

Trump tried to drain the swamp straight into his own pocket. State reps always put pork in the bills. Trump did not like that because he wants a cut of everything similar to a mob boss.

Sixty-five percent of Americans are in favor of the relief bill. What will the GOP tell their voters if they kill it, again?

According t the CDC there were almost 1.5 million people vaccinated on 1/20 so I am not sure where you are getting your information from

A number that seems to be going down as more and more people see what is in it...was up over 70 percent last week

Depends on the survey - 65% to as high as 80% (although that survey was focused on help for small businesses).

But giving tax breaks to corporations and the rich, who do nothing to really stimulate the economy, is cool with you?
