Gov. Newsom tells Fauci we may have overpromised on vaccine availability – Fox News

California Gov. Gavin Newsom acknowledged this week that vaccine distribution is slower than originally hoped for in the Golden Gate State, but health experts are hopeful vaccinations will pick up in the new year. Roughly 300,000 frontline workers received the first round of vaccines in the two weeks since distributions launched throughout California – though the figure falls well short of the intended 2.4 million people in the first vaccine group. "That we’ve already administered 300,000 doses is extraordinary," Newsom said during a Wednesday Facebook live event with Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "But there’s been some frustration, a little bit of frustration — we may have overpromised a little bit in the short run about the...

Alexander Wang Responds to Assault Allegations – The New York Times

This week, Owen Mooney, a male model and graphic designer, said that he was groped by Alexander Wang, an influential fashion designer, in a New York City nightclub in 2017.
