(76,429 posts)60. There Was No Operation Warp Speed
It was a public relations gambit. There was no tactical plan, no strategy.
Pfizer & Moderna didn't participate in this pretend plan.
The problem is that these two companies, trying to be team players, expected the government to prioritize & coordinate distribution. Good luck with that, given the drones doing that job. They are, daily, stacking up inventory in their warehouses, waiting for directions on where to send them. But, nothing.
Warp Speed was a PR stunt, and nothing more.
