Biden's COVID response team is scrambling to find 20 million coronavirus vaccine doses the Trump adm

administration didn't bother tracking

President Biden has ambitious pandemic plans for his first few months in office: By mid-February, he wants 100 federally supported coronavirus vaccination centers up and running. By the end of April, he wants 100 million doses in Americans' arms, which requires an average of 1 million shots to be given per day.

But his administration has already hit a snag during its first 10 days in the White House: some 20 million COVID-19 vaccine doses are unaccounted for - the federal government has paid for and delivered them to states, but there's no record that those doses have been doled out to patients.

Biden's newly minted COVID response team spent the last week trying to manually track down these millions of missing doses by calling up officials and healthcare providers from different states, Politico reported Saturday.

"I think they were really caught off guard by that," one Biden advisor told Politico. "It's a mess."

Similar also to the pallets of cash dropped in Iraq back in the GW days.

Can't miss with the classics.

It was hot, uneasy to move in and she had to wear it for 18 hour shifts.

I am beyond pissed at trumps treachery. I will never forgive one of them.
