Governor Brown of Oregon is saying the national vaccine stockpile is depleted

I wonder if this is Trump's final departing fuck you to America... or if he's got another trick up his sleeve for these last 5 days*

https://mobile.twitter.com/OregonGovBrown/status/1350109252807913473?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet&fbclid=IwAR1l88Ch2R9ZU7ZqWQSmlyhhgGMGbgHNXfCyOsnJt4R0vECHIoBnL1RXFA4

Last night, I received disturbing news, confirmed to me directly by General Perna of Operation Warp Speed: States will not be receiving increased shipments of vaccines from the national stockpile next week, because there is no federal reserve of doses.

I am demanding answers from the Trump Administration. I am shocked and appalled that they have set an expectation on which they could not deliver, with such grave consequences.

This is a deception on a national scale. Oregon’s seniors, teachers, all of us, were depending on the promise of Oregon’s share of the federal reserve of vaccines being released to us.

My head is in such a Time Warp these days. I'm literally forgetting what day it is. We're coming up on the 50-state micro boogaloo Sunday, and then whatever fuckery they've got lined up for Wednesday.

One last ugly demonstration of incompetence, or perhaps simple, sheer disdain for others.

The vaccine was produced, so where did it go? Who did they sell it to and pocket the proceeds? I am tired of the never ending grift!

We were given a card with a return date (early Feb.) for the second shot. Does this mean our chances of getting the second shot just went down the drain? 🙀
