Senior officials in the Trump and Biden administrations knew for months that there were issues with the Baltimore plant that botched 15 million doses of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine (in February), Politico reported.

Citing two people with direct knowledge of the issue and an internal report, Politico reported that a document detailing issues with the Emergent BioSolutions plant was sent to Trump officials working on vaccines in June 2020.

The report, produced by a government official, warned that the Emergent BioSolutions plant did not have enough staff who could properly oversee vaccine production, and that it had issues with hiring and retaining workers, Politico reported.

The report was later given to the Biden administration during the presidential transition, Politico said.

The Emergent BioSolutions plant had unknowingly cross-contaminated some 15 million doses of the J&J vaccine with AstraZeneca's earlier this year (in February).

 

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that another 62 million doses of J&J's vaccine may also be contaminated. If they are contaminated, they can't be used.

On Biden's watch

I would trust anything from baltimore about as much as I would trust candy from china produced in an abandoned lead factory

[proust]

It’s always going to be Trump/Biden when they have to report negative Biden news, isn’t it?

[Grampa Dave]

On Biden’s watch!

[Navy Patriot]

I think the key word is: “Baltimore”.

[IndispensableDestiny]

J&J went and contracted with them, so they are to blame.

[conservative98]

Or J&J. That’s the plant J&J was using

[ßuddaßudd]

indeed

[KC_Lion]

Epic Fail.

[TexasFreeper2009]

J&J is trash along with Astrozenica.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are great though.

[Organic Panic]

Baltimore. Nuff said.

Sources say. Nuff said.

My administration will move Heaven and Earth to:

-Increase vaccine supply and get it out the door as soon as possible— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) January 15, 2021

Or maybe Joe Biden is to blame. If you believe him, he says it was him who was increasing the supply and making the vaccines go out the door quicker. If you believe him, this was his plan alone, the Joe Biden plan, and maybe he pushed and went too quick. That's what Biden would say if the shoe was on the other foot.

Thank American public schools

Also, about half of graduates of America’s top 25 universities go into finance/Wall Street

That leaves China and India to pick up everything America doesn’t want to produce for itself.

I feel exactly the same way about any supplement or medication from New Jersey. I trust those products as much as I trust Fauxi.

***********************************************************
Yep.... Politico and Business Insider are among the usual suspects when it comes to covering for the idiotic Biden administration.

[Ingtar]

To me, the key is “government officials”.

[monkeyshine]

This may be much ado about nothing. OK, so they knew. That may be why they kept the 15 million vials in storage for testing; and how they discovered they were batched incorrectly.

[Rusty0604]

Yes.

[Rusty0604]

Exactly.
