Why don't they stop talking with these ridiculous promises, and get on with it.

At the start of the month they were promising 100,000 vaccinations per day in April:

Well, it's the end of April now, and we're approaching 3 million vaccinated - since December. So much for 3 million vaccines in April then. They managed about a million.

They need to stop this nonsense. 70% vaccinated by summer? Who are they kidding? That would need 150,000 vaccinations per day for the next two months, and judging by the abject failure to ramp up in April, it's just more empty promises.
