America Has Enough Doses

To the Editor:

To those who just read Main Stream Media headlines: here is one you won’t bother to read. From newsbusters.org: “HHS Boss BUSTS Media’s LIE Trump Didn’t Buy Enough COVID Vaccine.”

Alex Azar: “Across the six different vaccine manufacturers that we placed contracts with, with each of them we guaranteed the purchase of 100 million doses of vaccine so that we would have 600 million doses of vaccine across a broad portfolio. With Pfizer we have an option to buy an additional 500 million more. I’m not able to reveal discussions around potential procurements because that’s what we call procurement sensitive information. But we are continuing to work across manufacturers to expand the availability of releasable FDA approved vaccine as quickly as possible. We are prioritizing the manufacturer of vaccine here in America and the procurement of that vaccine for the benefit of Americans.”

To see how different members of the Main Stream Media chose to slant the vaccine coverage, look it up on newsbusters. org website. It is enlightening.

Why put all our money in one vaccine when others, which may be better, are coming along? An example, Johnson and Johnson will have a one-shot vaccine which may be more effective because some people will fail to get the follow-up shot required by Pfizer and Moderna. Moderna is supposed to be good for rural areas because the vaccine can be stored in regular refrigerators that cannot be done with Pfizer.
