Admin. passed on the chance to get more Pfizer vaccine.

Now the drug co. has commitment to other countries around the world.

Been posted here, yes.

Just now repeated on MSNBC, The Last Word.

I am so downhearted, downtrodden at this point.

I am grieving for my personal loss of last year and now for my sisters and brothers in humanity affected by the virus, and in turn harmed by deliberate indifference.

1. Here's the first report on this failure from MSNBC:

NYT: Trump Admin. Passed When Pfizer Offered To Sell More Vaccine Doses, Could Delay Further Doses
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017624151

The New York Times is reporting that the Trump Administration passed when Pfizer offered to sell more vaccine doses last summer: “Now Pfizer may not be able to provide more of its vaccine to the United States until next June because of its commitments to other countries." Aired on 12/7/2020.

2. It's okay. Other vaccines are coming also. As for the Republican sociopaths

in the WH and congress, after 1418 days of them it sounds like you still had an illusion to lose. If they didn't want a holocaust they would have moved to contain it, not blocked all containment efforts.

Time to look ahead: 43 days now to a new start!

5. That shocking night of November 2016 has been affecting me, but feel now that I'm reaching a

a 'saturation point'.

Husband of 46+ years died suddenly and unexpectedly March 2019 of cardiac arrest. Lately I've been reliving that scene more than ever.

Just read online reasons why the 2nd year in can be worse.

Thank you for your reply. 💙

7. Oh, I'm really sorry. So wrong that people struggling

to get through grief are having to deal with the anxiety of these times also. "Saturation point." So easy to believe. I hope you're able to head this one off at the pass. We all need to stay well a while longer and the pandemic at least will be mostly behind us.

3. I'm guessing he only asked for at most a half-dozen doses.

Himself and most of his kids.

YOYO is the name of the game with Republicans running things.

4. Trump put his money on Moderna

Trump Administration collaborates with Moderna to produce 100 million doses of COVID-19 investigational vaccine

I would also assume he literally put his money into Moderna.

6. Now, heard to the effect that Pfizer couldn't fulfill the number of vaccines that were supposedly

requested by *'s admin. Why they didn't follow thru with Pfizer.

Yah, right.
