(I would comment on the articles I have found but links are still hard to format)
What is the dispute here anyway; is it that more than enough ventilators were acquired? There were. I believe the ventilator issue arose when someone suggested that while some portion of the 1.6M excess deaths were attributable to Covid (I believe >80% are), some/many/most of those were *caused* by ventilator use. I have come across no evidence of that.

I believe some people are complaining that there was a surplus ordered, however they were left abandoned and unused, thereby creating a shortage.
Thing is, half of the ones ordered, were not built to handle the severity of COVID-19. And so - that half went unused, and abandoned in warehouses.
