Talk about mixed signals.

While much of the nation is looking forward to a summer in the cradle of near-normalcy, there are a number of health experts warning that we are nowhere near being done with the coronavirus pandemic, including the director of the CDC who was almost brought to tears when discussing a recent surge.

“If you look at the numbers (of doses) that we’re going to be getting … it is likely that we can handle any boost that we need, but I can’t say definitely for sure,” he told Reuters.

The AstraZeneca jab has come under scrutiny in recent weeks on account of a blood-clotting reaction, and after a number of statistical errors were discovered in their research.
