It’s as if the US is half-asleep. It’s unable to rouse itself, even in a crisis. Tranquilized. Opiated.

Governors are being WAY too precious about who gets this vaccine and we’re going to end up with millions of doses of expired vaccines if states don’t get serious about getting this out the door. These numbers are dangerously bad https://bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/

Some of it is abdication of responsibility by the executive. Some of it is a health system that’s been so stretched that it hasn’t had capacity to plan a vaccination program. But there’s something else. Indifference. Helplessness

If they did not equip states with the ability to deliver then everything else is pointless.

Edit to add most medical people here have not even been offered. The nursing homes are on standby. Walgreens here is not getting the shipments needed to do what they expected to do.

It’s still using the “blame it on the governors” strategy. Dumbass loser psychopath.

The Federal Government has distributed the vaccines to the states. Now it is up to the states to administer. Get moving!

.... had been president for the past 2 months?
1. Would the States be in the same shape?
2. Would they have somehow miraculously come up with a solution out of the blue?
3. Would they have been successful in the distribution of the vaccine because they received the logistical and financial aid they should have already received from the federal government? 🤔

Joe has a plan? ( also sarcasm)
