Watching the news there are all kinds of reports that the Pfizer Vaccine allocations have been cut in about 27 states with both parties leadership so this isn't a claim of bias. The administration claimed it was the manufacturer but they shot back that production is not the issue, any thoughts why Health & Human Services is doing this? Should this be were "Warp Speed" should shine?

It’s been less than a week. I think a humanly-possible amount of patience is in order here.

I would agree, but its not a delay in receiving the allocated amounts that the issue its the 20-30% reduction in those allocations, states distributions were based on the promised numbers..

The vaccine was developed in record time, so Warp Speed was a huge success.

You can't instantly distribute and administer millions of doses.

Give it another month before bashing Trump for this huge success.

May I ask what is the purpose of trying to make an extreme stretch to make every single thing political? Why not just be happy we have multiple vaccines on the way?

A) Warp speed was only a factor on 1 of 3 vaccines and Phizer wasn't one of them.
B) The question is why the allocations have been cut when production is not the issue? This isn't about the time it takes to distribute them.

My state is getting 40% fewer doses next week than promised and that seems to be the case across the entire country. It does seem this is headed the same way PPE and testing went. The general in charge of distribution apologized today for the delays but did not say what he was doing to fix it.

The goal had been to reach the 20 million mark by year's end, but now that will take until the first week of January, according to Warp Speed's chief operating officer.

not good enough huh?
