Covid-19 Vaccination Update -- July 21, 2021

CDC link here.

Yesterday it was noted that the CDC reported only 243,940 vaccinations were administered in the previous twenty-four hours which was an all-time low -- an incredible low. One reader suggested there must have been an error. I agreed that an error in reporting from state agencies most likely explained this incredibly low number.

If that was the case, then we should have seen a proportional jump in total number of vaccinations given to date, not the day change, but the total number of vaccinations given. Didn't happen. 

The number of vaccinations reported given in the past twenty-hours was about typical, which suggests the number yesterday was not an error, at least not a significant error. 

By the way, as noted yesterday:

• yesterday's data was reported very, very late in the day, almost 7:30 p.m. ET; 
• whereas today's data was reported about the usual time it is always reported during the week, about 3:30 p.m. ET.

This is not a conspiracy theory but yesterday's reporting and the data reported was very, very strange.

Here are the numbers:
