For any of you idiots who think that Trump and his administration have handled the virus situation in a suitable manner, think again. Pfizer had said that they would send the US 100 million doses for the vaccine, and offered to increase the number of doses to 200 million, but the Trump administration declined the offer, saying that they didn't want to commit to a vaccine back in July and August, because it didn't have FDA approval yet.
Well, the vaccine has been shown to be 95 percent effective, and apparently fairly safe. Unfortunately, if the US wants more doses of the vaccine, they have to get in line behind all the other countries that have ordered it if they want more than 100 million doses, meaning a new round of vaccine won't be available until June or July.
Still think Trump is "winning"?
As Pfizer wrangles with supply chain issues for 2020 distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine, some more potential bad news for American patients: The Washington Post and New York Times report the company has told the Trump administration that, after the initial 100 million doses it agreed to deliver by March, it may not be able to get more here before June or July, because others are in line before us.
Sources tell the Post that Pfizer encouraged the US over the summer to commit to up to 200 million initial doses, but the US declined. "Anyone who wanted to sell us ... without an [FDA] approval, hundreds of millions of doses back in July and August, was just not going to get the government's money," a senior administration official says.
