After a week on the job, Biden’s team is still trying to locate upwards of 20 million vaccine doses that have been sent to states — a mystery that has hampered plans to speed up the national vaccination effort. They're searching for new ways to boost production of a vaccine stockpile that they've discovered is mostly empty. And they're nervously eyeing a series of new Covid-19 strains that threaten to derail the response.

1. Fell off the back of a truck into Jared's trunk

5. You might be on to the real story.

Mystery Invoices ? After four years of the Diaper Don Crime Syndicate operating in the White House,anything is probable.

6. "our stockpile"

I'll never forget that.

[Irish_Dem]

22. So the vaccines were "our vaccines."

And he could sell them to the highest bidders.

[dflprincess]

15. I have no doubt about that. Nt

[Corgigal]

28. Something along

these lines

[bullimiami]

2. These all required super cold refrigeration? Seems hard to "misplace" so wtf?

[DeminPennswoods]

3. They need to talk to the individual states

I know in PA, Gov Wolf admitted the state has not done a good enough job getting residents vaccinated with the doses the state has received.

4. Sold 20 million. Everything with the Trump Klan is about grifting.

[onecaliberal]

7. Trumpco absolutely ripped it off and pocketed the money.

[MiniMe]

8. Check the freezers at Mar-a-Lago

Any way to grift whoever can afford to get the vaccine

[spanone]

9. ...or sold.

[dustyscamp]

10. Sent a few millions extra to red states I bet

[meadowlander]

19. Yes, I'm sure it's a total coincidence people were travelling to Florida

to get the vaccine because they were so easy to get there compared with other states/countries.

11. Shredders were likely involved with the track being lost.

[ret5hd]

12. "lost". hmmm, what other words come to mind? "Stolen"?

"Fell off the back of the truck"?
"Commandeered"?
"Purloined"?
"Hijacked"?
"Boosted"?

Anyone else care to break out the ol' thesaurus?

13. And no accounting for 8,700 ventilators...

***This paragraph is buried about halfway down the article.****

“The latest news comes as the Biden administration works to locate the 8,700 ventilators that Trump's White House donated to other nations. According to The Washington Post, a new report published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) indicates that there is very little information to explain the roll-out of ventilators. The United States reportedly spent more than $200 million on the distribution process.”

14. On sale now to the highest bidders.

[Midnight Writer]

16. Have the inventoried the White House silver yet?

The advantage of incompetent record keeping is nobody knows what's getting stolen.

There is a reason "businessman" Trump would tear up all the documents they gave him.

[Gothmog]

17. 20 million #COVID19 vaccine doses are missing because the old administration didn't care to find out

24. The old administration knows where they went.

[mcar]

18. Would it surprise any of us if it's found that they sold them to Saudi Arabia or something like that

[Chainfire]

20. psssst, hey, buddy, I have what you want!

What happened to the General that was supposed to be taking care of that distribution? The next question is "Was he an American general?" The stuff is just too valuable and too much in demand to give away to people....

[malaise]

21. Check the black market

That is all

[roamer65]

23. THIS.

[malaise]

25. Hi there

[Irish_Dem]

26. They would have had to sell them to people with expensive freezers.

Narrows down the field.

[Merlot]

27. So that's what we're calling it: "lost track of?" The "misspoke" of theft.

29. Trump Team Lost Track of 20 Million Vaccine Doses

This mind blowing https://politicalwire.com/2021/01/30/trump-team-lost-track-of-20-million-vaccine-doses/

“Joe Biden promised he’d bring in a competent, tested team to run the pandemic response, set ambitious vaccination targets and impose strict public health guidelines,” Politico reports.

“His team arrived at the White House with a 200-page response plan ready to roll out. But instead, they have spent much of the last week trying to wrap their hands around the mushrooming crisis — a process officials acknowledge has been humbling, and triggered a concerted effort to temper expectations about how quickly they might get the nation back to normal.”
