The U.S. Congress authorized spending $9 billion on funding an initial two-shot vaccine and a booster shot for all Americans. But now, as the pharmaceutical companies are telling Congress that another booster will be needed, the administration is pleading poverty.
“We do have sufficient current inventory of vaccines, both at states and pharmacies and other access points around the country and in our central inventory for fourth doses if they’re called for this spring for our most vulnerable, including seniors,” Biden COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said.
“Where we do not have sufficient doses is later in the year if the science dictates that all Americans should get a booster, or if there’s a need for a new formulation of the vaccine, a variant-specific vaccine,” Zeints said.
So, has the government spent all $5.1 trillion authorized by Congress for COVID relief funding? Not exactly. There’s an unknown amount of that money still in the pipeline that’s unspent.
Ninety-three percent of the remaining money from the American Rescue Plan passed last year has been “obligated or distributed to specific grantees or groups, including states and localities,” according to the Biden administration.
Just because that money has been “obligated” doesn’t mean it has already been spent. In fact, Congress has redirected funds from pandemic relief before. The $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill contained only about $550 billion in new spending. There was $13 billion in “repurposed” pandemic relief spending in the bill — monies that were already appropriated that were found to be unnecessary for the purpose they were supposed to fund.
But instead of looking for cash in the $5 trillion that’s already been appropriated, Biden wants brand new spending authorized for a shot that most Americans won’t even need.

Nope! No more COVID money. It’s over.
Government cheese meets Public Medicine.
Use the money that you are getting ready to steal.
From the article: " There’s an unknown amount of that money still in the pipeline that’s unspent. "
All that Dumbocrats know is : "Tax and Spend "
Exactly !
*** if the science dictates ***
You POS, Zeints! The science dictates nothing of the sort. The first two shots did little to nothing to prevent the spread of CoVid as promised. CoVid is here to stay and it’s nothing more than a common cold at this point.
ore money, for another booster shot, for a variant of the virus which went extinct over a year ago. makes perfect sense.
They will have to bring on more mandates and the money is for the mid term elections. No one is getting more jabs and the liberals know it.
We’re donating all
Of our fourth booster shots to mr Biden
Are the VaxxTards still out here or have they all died off?
There is still over $350 Billion in unspent Covid funding from earlier legislation.
Give it to Psicki Psacki oy oy oy
Is she going to get another, and another, maybe the fifth or sixth will do the trick?
WASHINGTON (LifeSiteNews) — White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Tuesday she had contracted COVID-19 for the second time despite being “fully vaccinated,” forcing her to opt out of accompanying President Joe Biden on his trip to Europe this week for a special NATO summit.
Don’t we have too many from the laat round? Wgat percentage took a booster?
My daughter works at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
She was told if you don’t have vaccine by today you do not have a job.
Next month, it’s the booster.
She had an allergic reaction to the initial covid immunization. She told them, H.R. just said they are not accommodating religious views or any health issues related to the vaccine. She was told because Mayo is a private company they don’t have to make decisions based on CDC or FL Governor.
Please reject all patient referrals to this “medical” facility.
RE: She was told if you don’t have vaccine by today you do not have a job.
Why isn’t the governor doing anything about this? Isn’t it true that there are no vaccine mandates in Florida?
The prior shots/boosters are not killing or sterilizing enough victims quickly enough to meet the depopulation goals of the existing five-year plan.
“Are the VaxxTards still out here or have they all died off?”
They’re sick in bed, IV’s going, pale and shriveling, saying,
“Please get vaxed! I got 5. This would be so much worse if I wasn’t vaxed.”
MOAR! 💸💸💸 Not like it’s real anyway. America has become a joke without a punchline.
