The numbers are not incorrect. You may not personally like what the numbers show for California, but that does not make them incorrect. Just because we dislike an accurate statistic, that doesn't make it a wrong statistic.
The numbers were lifted directly from Bloomberg as of 3:43pm Pacific time. Here's the link again to the Bloomberg site.
Bloomberg counted up the shots administered in 184 countries and 59 US states and territories

If Bloomberg, and every other major media outlet in the country, is not covering the numbers you want, you should complain to them.
The numbers are the numbers.
Percent of supply used, and shots in arms. It couldn't be more simple.
They were incorrect at that time because you keep miscounting the "rank", California was 37th at that time you posted not 38th.
And to prove to you the "rank" is meaningless as we continue in this process, California is now way up on the list based on "percent of supply", California skyrocketed just like I said it would, now sitting 29th based on today's (2/2/2021 at 3:43PM PST from Bloomberg) numbers:
29 - California 3,649,440 7.4 1.5 151,672 64.4%
30 - Wisconsin 578,336 8.1 1.9 30,833 64.2%

44 - Idaho 126,648 5.8 1.3 4,250 58.4%
45 - Rhode Island 102,384 7.1 2.5 3,456 58.1%
46 - Mississippi 254,594 7.6 1.0 8,738 58.1%

49 - Kansas 231,201 6.4 1.5 10,351 55.9%
50 - Alabama 373,907 6.4 1.2 15,372 54.9%
Which I see you didn't report the "ranking" today because it doesn't follow your narrative that "California sucks". But don't worry that number will change again tomorrow, and California could go back down again. Or it could go up further on the list.....
FYI, the CDC has stated that the current Covid vaccines are only to be given to Americans over the age of 16.
That's not an age concept exclusive to California, so California doesn't get to be graded on a curve by you while 49 other states don't get graded on a curve.
Children exist in the other 49 states. I've seen 'em!

Who said anything about grading on a curve? All I said is we have to look at the actual population able to get the vaccine in the current program, not the entire population of the state. This is so we get a real representation of percentage of that population vaccinated. That is a true measure of how this state or any other state is doing.
We can do the same with any other state if you wish, but I really don't care as once again its NOT a competition between states. I honestly don't care if another state is really doing better. I only care how California is doing as that is the state I live in and the state I'm getting vaccinated in. And I think its important to know that when 1A and 1B is completed that it'll be over 40% of the eligible population vaccinated, that is official based on the states numbers. This is important because that is large portion vaccinated that will help get us back to normality. Because the next batch, 1C, and while I don't have official numbers yet, my estimation is approximately going to be 20-30% of the eligible population (not entire state population). And Phase 2 will cover the rest of the eligible population, also approximately 30-40%, again an estimate. Adding up to 90% of the entire state's population. The last 10% of the entire state's population is kids under 16. But by that point we'll already have herd immunity in the state, in fact likely by the end of 1C we'll be close to 60-70% of the entire state vaccinated. Someone can correct me if my estimates are off, but I think I'm close.
Its also important because we're likely getting very close to having 1A be completed, meaning 1B tier 2 and 1C can start pretty soon. And this is personally important to me because I fall under 1C.
So this is why its important to look at the "real" population numbers in terms of eligible population getting the vaccine under the current program.
