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.

A month ago? The government should have had a task force figuring out a roll out plan as soon as this virus became an issue back in March. Draft the policies and procedures BEFORE the imminent need is dire. Include different plans for the possibility of storage issues such as they have. THAT is what should have been done. In the meantime, we are all left hanging and waiting.
I know......hindsight is 20/20 but still SOMETHING should have been in the works back in March or even sooner. Our government knew back in January 2020 this virus was a BIG threat.
