How these clowns expect to roll out a national vaccination program is another thing altogether - they couldn’t manage a 3 car funeral - how are they going to organize something this big?
And if they can organize it, then why the hell couldn’t universal vote by mail be organized by state governments?

Nobody is going to trust CDC or FDA after this because they are more interested in getting the damn fool re-elected than they are in the Nation’s health. This is just one more example of how cheaply Republicans have sold out America and destroyed the power they seek to hold on to.

And I thought one of their favored vendor’s vaccines required refrigeration.
This ain’t gonna go well.

I think you are right about that - I recall something from yesterday about refrigeration.
O it’s not going to happen. He’s going to make this into a big damn deal that goes squibby and he’ll hope everyone forgets or he throws someone under the bus for it.

Asking states to waive regulatory requirements, in place to ensure public safety, only to meet a deadline that is arbitrary other than its being just before the election. Pretty transparent. CDC and FDA are arms of the re-election campaign and have discarded any pretense.

OT. This is just effing sad. Where did all that money go!!! Not to the majority of Americans who needed it.
For the first time since World War II, the U.S. government’s debt will roughly equal the size of the entire American economy by the end of this year, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.
The rapid change is largely due to the surge in new spending that the government authorized as it tried to control the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
By the end of 2020, the amount of debt owed by the United States will amount to 98 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product, the CBO said. That is up from 79 percent last year. Total government debt will surpass the U.S. economy’s size next year, the CBO said.

Vaccines have to be kept at 4 degrees F? Something like that and certainly not easy to do on a large scale.

What if a vaccine was created and no one would take it?
From the above article:
Jacqueline Miller, Moderna’s senior vice president for infectious disease development, told ACIP that the company’s vaccine, called mRNA-1273, will be distributed in 10-dose vials, and must be used within six hours once a vial is open. Even with that level of flexibility, physicians’ offices and pharmacies will need to manage appointments to ensure that few doses are wasted, CDC officials told ACIP.
AND
Other vaccines in late-stage testing, such as the one AstraZeneca licensed from the University of Oxford, may be able to be kept in a refrigerator and not require freezing, Raffat wrote.

Damn…from your article:
Moderna’s shot needs to be stored and transported at -4 degrees Fahrenheit and can be kept in a refrigerator below 46 degrees for up to seven days.
Meanwhile, The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine must be transported and stored at much lower temperatures and, once thawed, only remains stable for 24 hours in a refrigerator.

Yup, it degrades really fast if not transported or stored properly and has a short shelf life.
