States were required to submit vaccine distribution plans to Operation Warp Speed no later than 16 October.
People want to point fingers at the federal government, but ultimate responsibility falls to each individual state.
Look at New York. Cuomo threatens fines if vaccines are given out of order and so unused vaccine gets thrown away instead of being administered because there was some left over. TF sense does that make? Okay, that info goes public, citizens & politicians get mad about the stupidity of it, then guidance changes, then it changes again when similar stuff happens.
Tiny little rural West Virginia is doing the best job per-capita at vaccine distribution...that should embarrass states with large urban centers, centralized populations, etc.
