    1. Let me ask you something?

      Can the governor of colorado make a trade deal with china that includes wording for a pandemic alarm to warn other countries?

      Then how can it be this man’s job to fix that? He has no control over world trade deals you stupid trump gop.

      Trump knows this is the presidents job. The fat lazy murderer trump.

  1. Eventually, we will find out how much T****’s incompetence has cost us. Can’t we send him and his supporters the bill?

    1. So you think illegals don’t carry COVID TB Whooping Cough Measles and drugs. BIDEN wants Open Borders he’s demented 😣😗😳

  2. No matter how much is manufactured and distributed, demand is going to far surpass supply, for a while. The best we can do, is ensure what we have is distributed on an equal, equity basis, and that federal, state and local logistics partners and vaccination sites have the equipment and resources they need, so those things do not cause any additional delays. As more candidates get approved, supply will grow substantially (a diversified supply is far safer in the longer term), but there are 8 billion people who all need it “right now”. And at least 4 billion of them got their allocations in well before us, because the former admin declined repeated offers of additional, _optional_ allocations.

    States and businesses buying (extra) vaccine doses directly is a non-starter. No vaccine has general approval, they’re all still on a emergency use permit. Means only the Federal government issuing that emergency use permit, can buy and distribute it. Probably gonna be spring before the 1st candidates start potentially qualifying for a general use approval.

    1. @Ben Well, kinda, but also no. Kinda as in there’s overall not much idle time in the chains. But no, because supply is _already_ the primary constraint in most regions, and regional and local logistics and vaccination sites are upping capacity well ahead of the expected accelleration in material supply.

      Supply already is, or very soon will be, the predominant bottleneck in pretty much every rounded corner of the planet, and will continue to be so for many months, probably at least half a year. That’s pretty much inevitable when literally everyone on the planet all need the same thing, all at once.

      Eventually we’ll be able to smooth out some of the dips and peaks of the operational chain, and get closer to the _scaled appearance_ of JIT. But IMO supply is likely going to be the bottleneck until we reach at least 70-75% vaccination. Whether we’re talking nationally, state or globally.

    2. @pr0xZen no, the vaccine is not hard to replicate, its hard to store, and doesn’t last long. JIT, double requirement etc. The problem is getting in arms once its made, getting it made is easy, getting it to people is hard.

    3. @Ben I’m starting to think you might not quite understand the scale of demand here. And mRNA- vaccines are in no way, shape or form easy to produce, nor to scale up.

      As for the supply constraint vs demand and actual administration capacity, that’s not a potential theory – many regions have been at that point for weeks already, more material resources and training of manpower is scaling faster than vaccine supply. Ultracold storage os a challenge, but for the most part not one resulting in notable bottlenecks now due to the _very_ short time product stay in state and local storage at this point.

  3. Biden just found out that the cubords and shelves where empty after Trump administration. Funny irony, didn’t trump claim that Obama left everything empty for Trump…

  4. Am not sure about Johnsonx2 because their vaccine is only 50% effective, is that right?
    Also, WOULD love to hear more about side effects of mrna vaccines … pregnancies problems?

    1. So that explains why this state is so well-managed and has a strong economy while protecting its environment. It also has a very successful and secure voting system. Other states should adopt it.

  5. Trump was right when he said ” you are not going to hear about COVID after November 3rd”. Except, ”you” meant ”I”. He did absolutely nothing after he lost the election

  6. Sergeant Robert justin alford green at nellis AFB, and renato Santiago Nelson, where is naomi petteway my granddaughter….

  7. He has been in office hardly a day. Trump lied about having an enormous amount of vaccines. You need to look in a mirror — what extraordinary deeds can you accomplish in less than a day?

  8. Batman: “He was throwing away the diamonds?”
    Alfred: “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”
    Former president: “Not if we rake the floors first!”
    America: 🤷🤦

  9. Giving Biden a hard time because of Trump’s policies. Blame Trump Biden is doing what he can to clean up the huge mess
