In fact, the outlet noted, it\u2019s \u201cthe lone blue state in the bottom 10 according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/graphics\/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution\/\">Bloomberg tracker<\/a>, with just 12.8 percent of New Yorkers having received their first shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also bottom 10 in the percentage of vaccine supply used, at 70.3 percent. For comparison purposes, Florida stands at 13.9 percent and 76.6 percent, respectively. California, which had a slow early rollout of the vaccine? 14.5 percent and 73.6 percent, respectively,\u201d the outlet continued.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-medias-war-on-gov-desantis-just-became-a-lot-harder-to-justify\">reported<\/a> (and Hot Air confirmed in its own report) states shouldn\u2019t necessarily be knocked for having a high percentage of unused vaccine doses, as that percentage includes the necessary second dose. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in late January tried to take a shot at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican for \u201conly\u201d distributing 50% of the vaccines they had been given. DeSantis responded by explaining to the \u201cdata-first\u201d and \u201cfacts-first\u201d administration that the unused percentage referred to those second doses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the implication is that we should be giving those second doses away to other people, that is not the way the FDA has prescribed the series. We are also number one in the nation by far in vaccinations of seniors, as Florida has vaccinated more than 1 million seniors 65 and older to date,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>That same argument applies to New York, California, and every other state. Hot Air also argued that \u201cit\u2019s conceivable that New York just received a big shipment that it hasn\u2019t had a chance to dose out yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the state\u2019s relatively low percentage of residents who have had their first dose is concerning. Alyssa Katz, deputy editor of The City, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alykatzz\/status\/1364908521435893761\">posited<\/a> that perhaps the low dosage numbers are due to residents fleeing New York during the pandemic and still being counted toward population numbers. Hot Air noted \u201cthat in itself would be an indictment of [New York Gov. Andrew] Cuomo\u2019s (and [New York City Mayor] Bill de Blasio\u2019s) pandemic leadership,\u201d because it meant the \u201crich felt they had to leave his jurisdiction in order to stay safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another reason New York may have fallen could be due to the major snowstorms that have recently hit the region, though Hot Air noted other northeastern states haven\u2019t fallen in the rankings of vaccine doses administered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking the slow pace of vaccinations even more concerning is the rise of the so-called \u201cNew York variant\u201d locally, which seems to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/allahpundit\/2021\/02\/25\/first-came-california-variant-now-comes-new-york-variant\/\">spread more easily<\/a>\u00a0than standard coronavirus does. The British variant, which is thought to be more contagious *and* more deadly, is also circulating in New York. Result: New York City\u2019s positivity rate remains\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/02\/25\/nyregion\/new-york-city-coronavirus-vaccines.html\">at around seven percent<\/a>, quite a bit higher than New York State and higher than the current national rate, which has slipped below five percent. A major population center at special risk of a new variant-driven surge is creating bad vibes for scientists, who fear that a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/02\/25\/health\/coronavirus-united-states.html?referringSource=articleShare\">fourth national wave<\/a>\u00a0is coming next month as the British virus continues to propagate across the U.S.,\u201d Hot Air reported.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
