There is NO vaccine “stockpile”

How is this not the lead story today? There is NO vaccine stockpile. When Azar said they “were releasing it”, it didn’t exist. States expecting to double their allocations are finding the same numbers in their columns.

The cynic in me says your above scenario is biased toward COVID because you get more of what you pay for. Hospitals get a bump in reimbursement for the treatment of COVID patients.

Re: Metal detectors

I am sure that a more important thing to have than metal detectors would be mental detectors.

Sadly, I fear they would not have much to do on the Republican side of the Hill.

Re: US lost 140,000 jobs in December

All of those 140,000 jobs were held by women

This is not accurate. For the 140,000 jobs lost, 156,000 of them were held by women. Men actually gained 16,000.

Glad this “equality” thing is working out so well.
