Vaccines: Biden team scrambles to find 20m vaccine doses Trump reportedly failed to track
Source: The Guardian/US
The Biden administration has spent its first week in office attempting to manually track down 20m vaccine doses in the pipeline between federal distribution and administration at clinic sites, when a dose finally reaches a patients arm.
The Trump administrations strategy pushed the response to the coronavirus pandemic to individual states and omitted pipeline tracking information between distribution and when the shot is actually administered, Biden administration officials told Politico.
The lack of data has now forced federal health department officials to spend hours on the phone tracking down vaccine shipments, the news website reported.
Nobody had a complete picture, Dr Julie Morita, a member of the Biden transition team and executive vice-president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, told Politico. The plans that were being made were being made with the assumption that more information would be available and be revealed once they got into the White House.

(50,561 posts)If so, it seems to me that Jared could have chartered a Gulfstream jet, put the vaccine in dry shippers (https://www.mitegen.com/product/cryo-storage-refrigerators-cx-cxr-series/) and hauled it to whoever he wanted.

(16,254 posts)I've always been suspicious of his trips to Saudi. Actually, I've also been surprised that they announced them in advance.
I keep thinking about that horrendously expensive lot he just bought near Miami.
Probably just an exercise in suspicion on my part...or not.

(63,913 posts)is all on tRump and his regime, they did not test people when Covid came along last year. And how many of us thought they were going to help the American people after 437,000+ people have died.
And to top it all off Azar, was arrogant to say there was no second dose ordered or not enough.
Remember and never forget.
