willow and others, the IRS Commissioner is in the Senate Finance Committee for routine oversight today and I'd be shocked if Ron Wyden or Sherrod Brown doesn't give him the whatfor on the nonsense you've had to deal with It sounded like the staffer I spoke with at my rep's office has been hearing from a lot of people about this issue so I wouldn't be surprised if other congresspeople have also been getting calls/emails too. On the bright side, my account on the IRS website is "not available at this time" and my transcripts for 2020 are FINALLY showing up so fingers crossed it means they are working on my refund...

Officer Evans memorial is on and POTUS is there, Nancy just got done speaking, she went to the kids and oh my heart.
POTUS stopped to talk to them as well before he started his speech.

Biden says US troops will be out of Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. I can’t tell if they specifically included CIA presence and Task Force troops or not. Sounds like more details to follow once Biden talks to Ghani.
I’m so conflicted, honestly. No one wants troops there anymore. But I don’t see how Afghanistan doesn’t return to a state similar to what it was in the 90s. The current government cannot control territory. Descent into chaos all over again.
ETA - I’ll also honestly believe it when we see it. I wonder how many withdrawal deadlines presidents have announced in total.

Zients is emphasizing that J&J accounts for less than 5% of our doses so the pause isn't hugely catastrophic

Zients: we have more than enough supply of Pfizer and Moderna to continue our current place of about 3 million shots per day, and are still well on track for POTUS' goal of 200 million shots in 100 days

FDA/CDC also took reporters' questions earlier this afternoon so they're really trying to be transparent and drive the messaging

Dr Fauci: the point of the pause is to give CDC time to find out more information about the clots that have happened, and the individuals to whom they happened.
They also want to communicate with physicians that the usual course of treatment for clotting or DVT (heparin) can not be used here and could be deadly. They encourage physicians treating any patients presenting with clots to inquire about vaccine history. (Wish they had done that for mammograms in the winter!!)

Fauci: yeah these clotting issues are really, truly rare but our FDA is world renowned for its caution in only approving the safest food and drugs. We can't risk the health and safety of Americans so no, we didn't jump the gun.

Fauci: we anticipate lifting the pause and continuing to utilize the J&J vaccine, but likely with some guidelines. We don't anticipate ongoing or repeated pauses bc these vaccines were so rigorously tested before approval.

Fauci: if you had J&J recently, don't flip out, but do pay attention to your body and monitor any symptoms, especially headache

The camera would pan to them occasionally and Mom was trying so hard to keep it together for both her kids. It was heartbreaking.

How will this affect vaccine hesitancy?
Zients: we'll continue to be transparent. We've safely administered millions of doses. But our FDA takes safety, efficacy, and transparency with the public very seriously.

Is there the possibility that usage would be suspended in the US entirely?
Fauci: it would be premature to comment on that, but we don't usually see things like that

So everyone who currently has a reservation to get a shot will still get their shots?
Zients: yep! And if the states need our help we'll give it
