Yes and no. I 100% agree with those complaining that this roll out is an unmitigated disaster. Many but not all of us knew that Covid was a real problem that was not going away on Nov 7th. And we knew that a vaccine was coming soon, whether in December or weeks later.

It was also obvious that if you want to immunize 300 million people twice, you need a big plan with complex logistics. That kind of planning should be done at the Federal level with minor adjustments available in the states and localities. Nobody seems to have done what was needed. I don't know if the Feds thought all they had to do was say "we have vaccine" come and get it and leave it all to the states while the states expected far more guidance and help than they got?

We have much more vaccine available than has been shipped. Is that the Feds not moving it even though the states are ready, or the Feds ready to go but the states not ready to accept?
And it is red states, purple states, and blue states. Almost all failing to have a working plan in place.

I disagree with your statement which perhaps you just poorly wrote that they can figure it out when they have an adequate supply. No, you figure it out before you have a supply. Like a month ago.
