should i allow straight b.s. (not from you) go unattended?
No. That's entirely fair.

as you know, i question what kind of production build we could have done.
We allocated blanket money to several firms.
https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/explain ... index.html
But like many cases of throwing money at problems without direct oversight and reporting.... and a press smart enough to ask questions (assuming that the .gov or Pfizer are actually answering any).....we haven't had any direct reports of the facilities built. And I've been looking for said reports. Maybe I missed them.
But doesn't that seem odd to you? No "look at this sparkling new facility that your tax dollars went towards" pieces on TF?
What we SHOULD be seeing is: "once Pfizers new XYZ plant comes on line this spring? Production will double. Or triple. Or anything".
Have a look at Pfizers own explanation of their vaccines production capabilities. See any mention of opening a new factory...anywhere?
https://pfe-pfizercom-d8-prod.s3.amazon ... accine.pdf
So....count me as skeptical that we're on the case when it comes to manufacturing doses.....
what i've seen:
- pfizer has been particularly persnickety. others... not so much so the point is taken.
- that having an approved, staffed, regulated and compliant production facility is extremely complex and has a high bar of standards, and thus doesn't come out of a box with those supposed standards.
- resources are finite to do what we need to do for mrna vaccine production. and $ and drive maybe doesn't change that.
those last 2 aren't hard and fast no's because again, i've been told i don't know anything about how government and medical research works. still trying to learn on here from a couple of those guys that do.
one fact... not one other leader or country in the entire world has done it either. not one. now, my personal evaluation on political leaders in general is not high... but going oh-fer maybe says something, too.
