We're headed to a situation where there are more vaccines than people ready to take them.

With 127 million “jabs” administered in America so far, and more manufacturers on their way to Food and Drug Administration approval, the market for vaccines is about to change very quickly. What happens to the holdouts? We’ll talk about it. But first, a bit of news on Facebook and online privacy. Plus, a new tool to get out of your Zoom meetings.
