Several States Notified Of Reduction In Planned Vaccine Shipments, Raising Questions | Rachel Maddow

    1. @Just Say’n Pfizer also holds the record of the highest fine of a pharmaceutical company by the federal government in history. I’m not judging who is the problem I’m just saying neither side has a stellar track record.

    2. @Just Say’n Did you hear Jan. 6th pence has to official make Joe Biden the winner. Then he gets on a plane immediately after for a vacation in Poland and the Middle East. He doesn’t want to hear trumps mouth. He’s running.

    1. WH staff: Mr president, Pfizer on
      line 1.
      Trump: Are they coming to my vaccine/election-rant party?
      WH staff: No sir.
      Trump: Are they sending me free samples of Viagra.
      WH staff: No sir.
      Trump: I’m not in…take a message and send them a link to the election defence fund.

    1. @YouTube Moderator Trump is deceitful and Trump followers are deceitful, because that’s all they’ve got in life. Your not YouTube and your not a moderator. Who woulda thought.

    2. @YouTube Moderator Pence got vaccinated, he must now be part of the illuminati or whatever newest crackpot conspiracy is.

    1. @BJ Stewart Perhaps, one day, you’ll understand. I hope you do. You’ll be amazed beyond your most incredible dreams.

    2. @Sri Vishnu I am intrigued: what is it like, having a mind that is devoid of empathy for those that are effected by a criminal con man that has spewed hate filled, and ignorant, rhetoric that is leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans? Are you just a sociopath and not able to feel for your fellow man? What is it that drives that uncaring position?

    3. @Sri Vishnu interesting that you have cancer, you follow the Hindu gods, so that must mean that your karma is effecting you. Not surprising that someone that is so uncaring and indifferent of the plight of others is also diseased on the inside. Well, I guess that is evidence for karma being real 🤷‍♂️

    4. @BJ Stewart Freely choose to be miserable, fearful and resentful while dying, your crossing over may then be horrific; a terrifying nightmare. I emphasize that it MIGHT be. I choose to be joyful, surrendering and at peace while dying;. the crossing is then totally blissful and sublime beyond anything one may imagine.

    1. @Lori Curl more like to politicians and wealthy families. my government did that when antigen tests first arrived in my country.

  1. It´s Drumpf´s petty response for LOSING the election!..to the effect of, “if I didn´t win, you can all die!”.

    1. Ignorance with intend but let’s not forget the creator of trumpsollini trumpet, foxy news murkdog media trumpeting lies blame hate and denying even ridiculing sciences and facts

    2. Not “treason”. This is NOT a crime where the term treason can be applied. Stop hollering lies and calling for silly charges. Treason is a ‘war crime’ and cannot be applied when America is not in a declared war. By all means, shout about charges of ‘negligent homicide’ and ‘manslaughter’…. those are applicable and realistic. But for God’s sake, stop distracting with some nonsense about treason… it nullifies and diminishes your whole point.

    1. @François Vanier just call it what you want. It is abuse and inexcusable. Retired from IT, where is Mr Krebs!

    2. @Anita C It’s laziness and sheer ineptitude from your current farce of an administration, is exactly what it is.

  2. Is Kushner involved in distribution again? This sounds like his m.o. This administration is the worst excuse of competency ever! EVER!

    1. @s w So they’re not shipping the vaccines as a form a payback? I’m sure that if they didn’t produce the vaccines in the contracted period they would face fines for that. Trump has been known to have a dodgy adherence to contracts. Ask the contractors who have built his properties.

    2. @T.A. ACKERMAN I’m not saying it’s payback, that some assumption you made. They might not be truthful about having the vaccine available. Like I said, I’m not going to jump to judgment, I will see if more info comes out, I was merely letting you know about Pfizer…..take the info for what it is, or discard it. I trust pharmaceutical companies about as much as I trust politicians.

    1. If this is found out he will face prison time as soon as he is removed from the White House guarantee you that. He’s already committed mass genocide, it is called 2nd degree homicidal negligence, in lawyer talk.

    1. @Dee Pattison I’ve felt the whole time that THIS administration is not capable of pulling off distributing this vaccine. I think it’s part of the reason Trump didn’t want Biden briefed.

    2. @Dee Pattison MSM almost lost us the election. They gave us Biden when we had better candidates. Biden. A guy who almost lost. Biden one by barely 20k votes in several swing states. You probably don’t realize it, but MSM did that. Joe Biden is their corporate favorite so they convinced people it’s Biden or bust. Smeared of hid the other BETTER (for US, not them) candidates.

      The best lies are those based in truth. The MSM IS the enemy of the people, but not the way Trump means. You think Russia was messing with our elections? Russia is NOTHING compared to MSNBC & CNN. Beyond influencing, they essentially elected Joe Biden, which means in 4 years we will probably have another disgusting republican after 4 years of Biden betraying those who voted for him with 101 excuses.

      A free AND uncorrupted press is critical but what we have here in the USA are varying levels of propaganda. We are more like North Korea than people realize. I track 50+ news sources and they are all full with propaganda. The corporations are making millions, using US as characters in some sick movie that they direct for profit. The worst it is for us, the better for them. They made a KILLING in the last 4 years. BTW, CNN head guy even HELPED Trump win in 2016. Most people don’t even have ANY idea of the games being played.

    1. No I don’t think so. Why do you want millions to die? Makes it easy for Putin to make us all Russian.
      Pfizer is not going to let trump get his grubby hands on the vaccine. They have a worldwide reputation and stakeholders, of which I am one.

    2. right after he said on Fox news, that “the vaccines are going to Americans” … and 30% to my friends for $$

    3. @Minda Kahn I agree. Pfizer won’t put their reputation on the line. I’m not a shareholder, but everything coming out of this administration is a lie. I’ll believe Pfizer.

    1. @Lominoth Productions yes of course it’s “true”! That’s what makes good propaganda: pretend that it ISN’T propaganda. Good job.

    2. @Lloyd B progressive is generally a term given to democrats, republicans are often called conservatives. Reps usually try to destroy w everything and rarely conserve things

    3. @Lominoth Productions Pelosi is a democrat. So is Biden. If they’re “progressive” why do they push against the #1 progressive policy: Medicare 4 All?

    4. @Lloyd B It’s not that difficult to understand but since your having trouble we’ll help you out. Pfizer developed this vaccine on their own without help or financial assistance from Trumps Operation Warp Speed. Therefore Trump had nothing to do with this. He does however run the government which is currently overseeing the distribution of this vaccine and is failing miserably at that. Therefore he gets the blame for that. Not too difficult to understand I hope.

    5. @Lloyd B, Burn them at the stakes? Why waste the wood?
      I’m surprised you watch a liberal pundit like Rachel Maddow! She doesn’t dress skanky, bleach her hair, or speak like a Trumpturd Republicunt. She uses words with more than 2 syllables which must drive you nuts, having to pause her broadcast while you google them.
      Trump’s success with the vaccine: Uh, uh, uh? He played NO part in its development, private industry did! And Trump didn’t secure enough to treat Americans. Indictment coming soon – Watch for it after January 20th!

    1. @Greg Exelby the cap key, the “!” key and the “?” key on your device are all sticking mate. What is a “mak” and what makes you think (as if) it is too tight?
