Nonsense... The initial "shortage" was due to many states letting their old emergency supply stocks rot on the shelves and sit there past their expiration date.
It had zero to do with the wrong ones being ordered/manufactured...
The surplus had everything to do with the docs realizing that ventilators were not the panacea they initially thought, and were doing more harm than good...
