Trumps claim was backed up by others in teh administration, so this isn’t an example of trump just pulling numbers out of the air.
I heard someone on one of the news stations on the drive in saying the issue is the fragmented state level final mile. There is no coordinated national plan. It’s just left ot the states to figure out how to get the shots in the arms. And some states are prepared, and others are not.
What do we need to do to signifigantly improve delivery?
FYI, one person in our neighborhood got her vaccine! So that was exciting!
Adding new link and quote - I heard on Fox what I heard yesterday - the admn and warp speed had in fact aimed for 20M vaccinations.
The process has been “slower than we thought it would be,” Dr. Moncef Slaoui, who is heading up the administration’s efforts to speed up vaccine production and distribution, told reporters during a press conference last week, adding that the goal of 20 million two-dose vaccinations is “unlikely to be met.”
And the dems said there would be zero vaccines ready. His prediction was much more accurate than theirs. He did way better than any of them had hoped. Operation warp Speed is one of the most incredible success stories in U.S. history.
“WE” don’t fix anything. Because “WE” don’t know the first thing about manufacturing meds. “WE” are not allowed anywhere near pharmaceutical manufacturing. With good reason. They are moving as fast as they can. You will just have to be patient.
If there is a problem, I’m guessing the CNN will inform us of what it is? So far I have not heard of any problems what so ever. Have you? It appears to be going very smoothly. Everyone in government seems to like the progress. I don’t think anyone is panicking because they made a prediction months ago and missed it by a few weeks. I would’t call that a scandal. But you are free to. I don’t think you will see a lot of outrage here. Let me know if you do.
@tnt As someone who is following this closely, I just had a web meeting last week with our pharmacy provider who is going to be doing the vaccinations for our clients and staff. It is largely a supply chain issue, at least here in Indiana. The Hospitals have the vaccine, but it they aren’t getting enough of them. There are logistical issues up and down the state. Yet in my area, I was told that because I do sometimes do direct care as the director, I could go to the hospital right across the street and get mine because they have more than enough on hand.
I think there are 20 million to be had…if not more, but moving these things across the country from Cent Gov to State Gov is a nightmare, because each state has it’s own plan. This is one of those situations where the Federal Government should have said this is what we are doing and how we are doing it. So that all 50 states were under the same plan.
All the lib “fact checkers” were saying it was a false claim. “It would take a miracle”. Now that the lib “miracle” has happened, libs have to find some new heel-nipping charge.
