Frustration builds over slow pace of vaccine rollout | TheHill (thehill.com)

"She also blamed the slow rollout of the vaccines on the holiday season and surges of cases across the country that are overwhelming hospitals and health departments."

That's just blatantly wrong. The city I work in has over 600,000 people. When I started at my current ambulance provider in 2016 I would sit on bed delay in the ER for an hour sometimes waiting on a bed with a patient. The hospitals now are exactly the same with numbers. It's not any better or worse than it's ever been. Why? Because people go to the hospital and call 911 for stupid reasons and then get admitted so the hospitals won't be litigated. The ER I'm at today has 36 beds, 27 are full with another 3 in SPOE. Pretty much normal.
