Not just in getting vaccines to a location, but in administering vaccines to the public. Relying on states and local DPH to get that right and saying "we got the shots there" is not successful management IMHO. [..........] it seems that you agree with me that it was a choice of the Federal Government to delegate that to the states/localities.

What was the federal government's alternative?

Is this what the Trump administration should have said, had they not been so preoccupied with the election? :

Hey you states, with your own health departments and facilities and dr's and nurses and parameds and parapros, hang back while we, the federal government, come in and take over the administration of the vaccines (with what resources we don't know, maybe military) in all 50 of you. Because we, the federal government, don't trust that you'll all get it right- you might not have a plan for surplus vaccines due to appointment no-shows, for instance.

Is that really your position? I have probed you on this several times now and you aren't really saying anything substantive that I can't easily and logically wipe off the board with common sense. I'm not trying to fight you. You have made some statements that I find very inconsistent with what I know to be true, so I have simply asked for some links or something. Some of the stuff you've said I have never even heard before. Where is some of this stuff coming from?
