Pinkerton: Operation Warp Speed Vaccine Shows America’s ‘Can-Do’ Spirit Is Back
V is for . . .
In addition to “V” for “Virus,” we can add that “V” stands also for “Vaccine.” Furthermore, “V” is for “Victory.” At least in the healthcare sector, America Has Been Made Great Again.
One of the architects of that victory is Gen. Gustave Perna, a four-star who took leave from the U.S. Army’s Materiel Command to become chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed (OWS); as Perna explained the stakes of the struggle at a press briefing on December 12:
We’re at war with this virus . . . distribution has begun . . . Make no mistake . . . the vaccine is the beginning of the end.

Pfizer has said that it has millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine that are awaiting shipping instructions from the federal government, but officials say they are being held in reserve as initially planned.
In a statement on Thursday, Pfizer said that it had successfully shipped 2.9 million doses to states, adding: We have millions more doses sitting in our warehouse but, as of now, we have not received any shipment instructions for additional doses.
Senior administration officials said Pfizer s statement about doses awaiting shipping instructions, while technically accurate, conveniently omits the explanation: It was planned that way to ensure everyone who got the jab also gets the required booster.
