6M COVID-19 vaccine doses delayed by extreme winter weather, White House says

WASHINGTON - The deadly winter weather that has impacted many areas of the country has set back the urgent drive to vaccinate Americans against COVID-19 — but it’s possible to catch up with a concerted effort, the White House says. White House coronavirus adviser Andy Slavitt said Friday that the weather has led to a three-day delay in shipping vaccines, or about 6 million doses, amid a shutdown of transportation hubs and highways. But he added that the vaccine won’t spoil and is "safe and sound" in warehouses.It was the first major setback to the Biden administration's rollout of coronavirus vaccines just as the national vaccination campaign was hitting its stride.

Trump’s election loss nullifies Meng Wanzhou’s argument for release: attorney general

Donald Trump to win re-election nullifies an argument to release Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on the basis he was using her to get a better trade deal with China.In court documents released Thursday, David Lametti says Meng’s argument depends on public statements that were made by a president who is no longer in office about a possible intervention in the case that never occurred, purportedly to achieve a Chinese trade deal that has long since been successfully negotiated.“The changes in circumstances since the comments were made and this application was filed have served to remove the factual underpinning for the applicant’s arguments,” the written argument says.
