Specifically, it appears that there was no plan or strategic design around what to do with excess doses during the initial rollout leading to many doses being thrown away/discarded. So much so that a group of private citizens literally created a waiting list for allowing people to get "last minute" opportunities to prevent this from happening. HiDrB
I'd call that a pretty big miss.
In many ways, the Trump staff/collective working group made a lot of the same mistakes they made with regards to the tests earlier in the pandemic. Functionally, it seems that the strategy was delegated to the individual states with limited guidance/direction from the federal government. One could argue that this allows some states to more adequately handle their own situation, but most governors and state governments had little to no idea how to handle it, and the wide discrepancy in vaccine delivery between different states (even per capita modified for age/qualified access) would lend support that idea.
I appreciate that you had a hand in this project. I will willingly admit I do *not* have first hand experience in how things went so open to your insights, and fortunately Cunningham's law tells me that anything I have wrong in my post I'm likely to get pointed in the right direction anyway.

I want to make sure I understand you... Warp Speed delivered too many doses?

The only strategy of substance that was delegated to states was the decision on who was first in line. Pretty much all of them did the same thing- elderly and healthcare workers and first responders/cops etc first, then teachers, then everyone.

Please share. There could be other factors involved here. The leading distributor (not manufacturer, but distributor) had five new warehouses set up as staging areas around the country, in addition to some existing warehouse space that was utilized- that's one possible skew point. Example- all of Alabama and SC's doses are in a warehouse in Atlanta, for example. All of Arkansas and Mizzou's doses are sitting in Memphis, for example. I would like to see this data you refer to.
