Kate Brown said the COVID-19 vaccine stockpile Operation Warp Speed pledged to release to states next week does not exist, calling it a “deception on a national scale” by the Trump administration. On Friday morning, the Democrat tweeted that she was told by General Gustave Perna, who leads the “Operation Warp Speed” federal vaccine effort, that states will not be receiving increased shipments of vaccines from the national stockpile next week “because there is no federal reserve of doses.” The New York Times reports that Trump administration officials clarified Friday that the existing stockpile would only go toward giving second doses to people who had already received the vaccine, and not to new groups of people.
