Hundreds of thousands of doses of covid vaccine expiring in the US, as Biden hectors US vaccine hesitant & deniers, rather than sending the doses overseas, where they are desperately needed, before they expire. ...he can't blame this one on Trump. You could see this coming.
Not sure Biden can be blamed as this problem mostly occurs in Red states such as, Among the states reporting a high number of expiring doses are several states with low vaccination rates, like Alabama and Arkansas, where coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have been on the rise for weeks. Mississippi was also highlighted. The fact that tRump still refuses to go on the air and demand that people take the vax leaves the blame at his feet to a very large extent. IMO.
So what ? Biden's President of ALL the states & controls the distribution. You could see the slower uptake months in advance. Incompetence.

c'mon brooksie, i know you read more than just the first couple words. you coulda just thrown shade on trump and left it at that.
california 4 weeks ago was already well over 100k. north carolina in the article is on the cusp of tossing maybe more than all other states named combined in 2 weeks. states of all colors are mentioned, but dare i say there are few that have been just peachy with it. or a distinct minority anyway.
it's happening everywhere, and unless the writer didn't do any digging there's no real plan yet to get it to stop. you'd think they could've mapped all this out a month or 2 ago. we should've hired a logistics company a long time ago.
all that said, i am not surprised. big ship. covered in red tape.
It may be happening everywhere as you say but the article points out that it is mostly in those Red states where delusionals of the far wrong are deluding people into thinking that the vax will create a 666 on your arm or forehead. Facts are what they are. Blame the writer and the facts, don't blame me.

You know better than that. It's the old story of leading the horse to the water. If if the gasping horse is too stupid to drink and persists in walking the desert while parched then so be it. Biden has given them the vax but they are too stupid to use it. How can you possibly blame him for their stupidity???

"Texas Gov. Greg Abbott vowed on Wednesday to take any school or local government that defies his executive order barring mask mandates "to court" after he challenged a Dallas mask order."
Call his bluff; swamp the judicial system with this nonsense. What a f&ckwit.
"There is nothing more difficult and more dangerous to carry through than initiating changes. One makes enemies of those who prospered under the old order, and only lukewarm support from those who would prosper under the new."

huh? quick read they mention 13 states, 7 red, 6 blue. by far the biggest numbers in blue states. one of the reds total at end of last month was 5k+. north carolina is on the cusp of maybe tossing a half million alone.
what you quoted was "among the states". the mostly part was your poetic license.
maybe there's a tally somewhere if it matters? it's a problem everywhere. if even one state doesn't know or have plans to offload them (or is looking to extend expiry), it's likely (imo) that few or none do. yet.

Just in time supply. You see the states that have had lower vaccination rates, send them fewer doses, & divert the projected excess supply overseas early enough so that it does not expire. Oversupply is a luxury. Logistics 101.

Again, you don't comprehend or completely read the articles you link. They test the ability to keep the mask wearer from getting infected (and the mask do reduce the risk, but modestly in the study) but do NOT measure whether the others in the space are protected from getting the disease from a mask wearing infected person.
And the article quite explicitly points this out:
The findings are consistent with previous research. Health experts have long said a mask provides only limited protection for the person wearing it, but can dramatically reduce the risk to others if the wearer is infected, even when showing no symptoms. Preventing the spread to others is known as source control.

actually, in the study it said there was no conclusion to be drawn on reducing one's own risk, modestly or not.
still waiting on the source control studies.

COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation
The federal government makes specific amounts of FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine doses available to states and jurisdictions on a weekly basis.

I think there's a fair argument to be made that we should have done far, far more in rallying the world to effective vaccinations. Want to say that the Biden Admin should have done more, worldwide? ok
Whole different problem, though, with overestimating the intelligence of the American people and underestimating the impact of the misinformation campaign against masks and then vaccines.
Sure, some vaxx could have been diverted overseas, but clearly the Admin wanted to be very sure that supply was never the issue in maximizing shots in arms here in the US. Right or wrong, that's what they prioritized.
"Sen. Rand Paul revealed Wednesday in a disclosure that was more than a year overdue that his wife in February 2020 bought up to $15,000 worth of shares in Gilead Sciences, a biotech company that brought to market the first drug designed to treat COVID-19.
The mandatory filing with the Senate by Paul (R-Ky.) shows that his wife purchased between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of Gilead stock on Feb. 26, 2020.
Gilead’s antiviral drug remdesivir became the first COVID-19-specific treatment to win an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration less that three months after the purchase in May 2020.
Paul’s disclosure raised eyebrows among government ethics experts, especially because it came a whopping 16 months later than legally required."
"There is nothing more difficult and more dangerous to carry through than initiating changes. One makes enemies of those who prospered under the old order, and only lukewarm support from those who would prosper under the new."
'"There is a virus here, it kills people," he said. "The only way we prevent it is get vaccinated, get masks, do social distancing, washing your hands all the time, and not just to think about, 'Well my freedom is being kind of disturbed here.' No, screw your freedom. Because with freedom comes obligations and responsibilities, you cannot just say, 'I have the right to do X, Y and Z,' when you affect other people, that is when it gets serious. It's no different from a traffic light, you put a traffic light at an intersection so someone doesn't kill someone else."'
'"Yeah, you have the freedom to wear no mask, but you know something? You’re a schmuck for not wearing a mask," he said. "You are supposed to protect your fellow Americans around you. It's just that simple."'
Back when Republicans were sensible.
Hey Petey, are stoplights an infringement of your "freedumb"?
