States thought they would get more COVID vaccines. Pentagon system had wrong numbers

WASHINGTON A Pentagon system set up for states to keep track of coronavirus vaccines had outdated, inaccurate projections for deliveries that misled governors into expecting they would receive far more doses than will arrive in the coming days, a federal official told McClatchy. The system, called Tiberius, went live months ago in order for state and local officials to prepare for the day that the Food and Drug Administration authorized a coronavirus vaccine, with projections that were intended to help states practice using the complex system. But when the FDA issued its first emergency use authorization for a vaccine on Friday, the outdated projections in the Defense Department software remained in place...
In a statement, Pfizer said that the company was “not having any production issues with our COVID-19 vaccine,” and that no shipments containing the vaccine are on hold or delayed. “Going forward, the Tiberius numbers should be correct. The problem is, when they looked at them last week, and when they got to ordering them now, they were different,” the federal official explained. “Everything in Tiberius was for planning purposes, not official allocations – and they clearly did not make that clear to states.”
When Our Glorious Leader said he was putting the Pentagon in charge of distribution rather than the CDC, it was predicted that things would go wrong because the Pentagon lacked the necessary experience.

The signal lies in the “water hole” quiet zone of the electromagnetic spectrum, which scientists consider an attractive band for alien civilisations to broadcast interstellar signals.

Yes, please.
DeleteWouldn't it be wonderful to find that there are other beings, wiser than we, who might help us get through some of our most difficult conundrums?
The FDA just issued emergency use authorization for the Moderna vaccine!
