REDFIELD: "We do not have the resources" to roll out a national #COVID19 vaccine. "We distribute 80 million doses of vaccine a year at CDC, but this is gonna take substantial resources. The time is *now* to get those resources to states. We don't have them."

CDC Director Redfield estimates it will take between $5-6 billion to effectively distribute a #COVID19 vaccine nationally. Says the CDC doesn't have that funding right now, and there's no current Senate plan to offer that money.

The alternate goal is to make money. There will be middle men contractors inserted to allow his buddies to get kick backs by stockpiling and gouging on distribution . Alternative, not secondary. Grifting is never job 2.
Getting vaccines to the public is not a concern to them. Actually addressing the pandemic is not a priority. Theres so much money to be made so long as the crisis continues
Edit: meant as an op reply. Too lazy to move it...
