Guardian: The Biden administration has spent its first week in office attempting to manually track down 20m vaccine doses in the pipeline between federal distribution and administration at clinic sites, when a dose finally reaches a patient’s arm.
The Trump administration’s strategy pushed the response to the coronavirus pandemic to individual states and omitted pipeline tracking information between distribution and when the shot is actually administered, Biden administration officials told Politico.
The lack of data has now forced federal health department officials to spend hours on the phone tracking down vaccine shipments, the news website reported.
“Nobody had a complete picture,” Dr Julie Morita, a member of the Biden transition team and executive vice-president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, told Politico. “The plans that were being made were being made with the assumption that more information would be available and be revealed once they got into the White House.”
As of Saturday, 49 million doses of vaccine have been distributed by the federal government, but only 27 million administered by states, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
About two million of those doses are believed to be accounted for by a 72-hour lag in reported administration, Politico reported. That still leaves millions in the pipeline between delivery and patient. At least 16 states have used less than half the vaccine doses distributed to them, USA Today reported this week. read more..

Trump’s family, a bunch of kleptos who managed to raid the medicine cabinet on the way out the door. Why isn’t the FBI looking into this? Oh, that’s right, they would have to acknowledge that COVID-19 is a bioweapon that was first deployed in China and finally in the USA. They would have to acknowledge that Trump and his inner circle were vaccinated for it back in November of 2019. They would have to acknowledge that this bioweapon is being used to cull the human herd of the elderly, the already infirm, and especially people of color, just like how the US gave smallpox-infested blankets to Native Americans back in the 19th Century.
