Opinion
Powers On. is a new monthly opinion column from Marc Powers, who spent much of his 40-year legal career working with complex securities-related cases in the United States after a stint with the SEC. He is now an Adjunct Professor at Florida International University School of Law, where he teaches a course on Blockchain, Crypto and Regulatory Considerations.
Dear Readers: Here is my first opinion piece for Cointelegraph since my retirement a month ago from law firm practice (and prior to that, the SEC) after a 40 year career. It is an exciting opportunity for me, and hopefully an interesting one for you. The shackles of politically correct, business sensitive communications are now gone, and I no longer have to ‘pre-clear’ or worry about the potential of my words offending regulators, politicians, colleagues, or clients of my law firm.
O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) – Missouri’s poor ranking in getting residents a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine is partly due to “confusion” in the final days of the Trump administration and through the transition of power, a state official told a vaccine advisory panel Thursday.
Data posted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that for several days, Missouri ranked last among the states in the percentage of residents getting a first vaccine dose. Information posted Thursday showed Missouri moved up one spot, slightly ahead of Idaho. About 4.8% of residents in both states have received the initial dose.
