This article does a good job describing the failures of warp speed.
Trump administration tells states how many doses theyâll receive only one week at a time,
Could it be that the manufactures give that information to the administration 1 week at a time to ensure they get an accurate count??? The decision to go week by week was made by Operation Warp Speedâs chief operating officer, Gen. Gustave Perna, because he didnât want to count on supplies before they were ready. Overly optimistic production forecasts turned out to be a major disappointment in the rollout of the H1N1 vaccine more than a decade ago, also leading to canceled appointments and widespread frustrations with the governmentâs messaging.
Could it be the drug compass developed and tested the vaccines in record time with an administration getting rid of the 13 year development and testing timeframe for a new drug?
Could it be the administration chose to purchase all the drugs and distribute the drugs equitably, everyone gets the same percentage?
State health officials say the unpredictable shipments have led to chaos on the ground, including the inability to quickly use up all of the doses sent to them. The week-by-week system also makes it hard to plan for the second doses that everyone needs because they come three or four weeks after the initial dose.
Seems the chaos on the ground is the 52% of vaccine they have been sent that the states have yet to use. Could it be they are making excuses for their inability to manage their state???
And President Donald Trump left states to decide how to reopen their economies, telling governors, âYouâre going to call your own shots.â And if Trump would steppe in to open business the states would have immediately started lawsuits.
Clearly a case of damned if you do and damned of you donât. But it gives the left the opportunity to bitch about Trump.
I mean he does come from the same state that elected that c*nt as Governor so it might explain a few things.
A vaccine explains the success of warp speed. Save it.
You bring up some valid points, and I do agree that the program is accomplishing its goal since people are getting the vaccine.
Apparently, the cdc was supposed to help states figure out prioritization, basically the last leg of the journey, but they werenât doing a very good job and claimed that hhs interference was making it more difficult. To be fair, cdc isnât really set up for that anyway.
This could have been avoided by keeping the whole thing centralized imo
Every state chose their priorities. Most began with healthcare workers and moved from there.
Some chose teachers/schools not, some chose elderly next. Every stat had their priorities.
The Federal government isnât structured for distribution, vaccination or priority assignment. If thy would hav taken the lead many states would have gone ballistic.
