The newly appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Sunday that the federal government remains in the dark about just how much vaccine is currently available and warned that states like New York won't be able to quickly replenish its limited supply.

“One of the biggest problems right now is I can't tell you how much vaccine we have, and if I can't tell it to you then I can't tell it to the governors and I can't tell it to the state health officials," Dr. Rochelle Walensky told "Fox News Sunday."

Walensky added the government does not "have as many doses as we would like now for states like New York [or] for other states that are claiming to have run out of vaccine."

As President Joe Biden pledges to distribute 100 million Covid-19 vaccinations in his first 100 days, Walensky said "the supply is probably going to be the most limiting constraint early on."

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Yes. Just like sending all WH staff home during inauguration. Or pissing on O's bed. It's who he is.

[Rebl2]

24. Absolutely 😡

4. This. eom

[secondwind]

3. I bet Jared sold to Dubai ..........he traveled there just a month before the election...

Who knows with these people........

[NoRoadUntravelled]

9. I wouldn't put it past him. nt

[Irish_Dem]

5. When there are no records of a valuable supply it means theft and black market are likely.

And with the Trump grifters it would not surprise me.

I am an USAF brat and grew up in third world poor countries.
The black market was the only way to get certain items.

I felt certain Trump would create a black market for the vaccine.
The fact that there is no official accounting of the vaccine bolsters this notion.

[rzemanfl]

6. Could be. Wouldn't be surprised. n/t

[Initech]

10. I think there was a CDC article a couple of weeks ago saying that black market vaccines will happen.

And that's scary. What could go wrong there?

[Irish_Dem]

11. It is already happening, make no mistake.

Probably as soon as the first vaccines came off the production line.

I have lived in countries with black markets.
It starts right at point of production.

With Trump and Jared, there was no official accounting or paperwork.
Biden's team has no idea how many vaccines exist.

[Initech]

14. Yeah let's put a guy who runs rat infested shitholes in charge of vaccine distribution.

What could go wrong?

Buyer Beware: COVID Vaccines Netting Big Bucks Online

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The shortage of COVID-19 vaccines has prompted some to try and get it on the black market. Investigative reporter David Goldstein says business is apparently booming, but buyers should beware. While it’s nearly impossible to get a vaccine appointment in Southern California, we found ads touting vaccines on the internet and a cyber security expert says they’ve seen a 400% increase in the number of ads posted just over the past month.

COVID vaccines for $500, $1,000 – even offering overnight delivery. Another claiming to have 10,000 bottles for the discount price of $30,000. “People are wanting to cut the line. They don’t want to wait the weeks or months to get the vaccine in whatever country they live in so the demand for these vaccines has gone up,” said one cyber security expert. Looking at some of the pictures of the vaccines online, the experts say it could be the real thing. They say it would be hard to tell until you get a shipment in the mail. They ordered one and never got it.

UCLA epidemiologist Dr. Shira Shafir says it’s doubtful the vaccines are legitimate. Because the vaccines have to be kept at well below freezing temperatures—and would require a special shipping—what you find on the internet may not be the real thing. And even if it is it may be worthless. “Even if in an unlikely circumstance it was taken and was legit, it’s extremely unlikely it’s an effective vaccine,” Shafir said. But that doesn’t stop the scammers from preying on people’s hopes.

Experts also point out that the controls on COVID vaccines are very tight. Medical personnel have to document each and dose (sic) — and the chances that vials could be stolen would be rare.

13. That was my first thought

No records, easy grift, easy theft and no paper trail.

God I hate those people and all the Republicans that enabled them.

[Irish_Dem]

16. They are basically a crime syndicate. And they were looting as they went.

[Cozmo]

18. Moi aussi!

[dalton99a]

7. Kick

[AntiFascist]

8. Trump probably pocketed $100 millions selling it to Saudis n/t

[Irish_Dem]

12. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

And wealthy donors.

[Raven123]

15. I remember when pfizer vaccines were shipped.

Supposedly tracked very carefully. We should be able to find them

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. Remember when a plane-load of vaccines from Belgium landed in Chicago?

I don't remember any tracking, or any reporting on where all those doses went.

I smell a rat. A rat named Kushner.

[edhopper]

20. Operation Warp Fucking Speed

what a joke!

[Ligyron]

21. More like Warped Greed.

[IronLionZion]

23. Pfizer and Moderna should know how many vaccines they're producing

even if Jared sold off what he could, going forward it would be under Walensky's control to get supply data for new production.

I hope this can be sorted out soon.
