Federal Cuts in Vaccine Shipments Are Inexplicable and Life-Threatening

It appears that the federal government is already failing (intentionally or unintentionally) in its project to distribute Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to the states. Apparently a federal government spokesman said that the severe reduction in planned distribution was due to problems on Pfizer's end, but Pfizer denied this, saying that it had adequate quantities on hand. Although it may take some time for all the facts of this situation to be fully developed and be make public, it appears that our federal government may be engaged in some weird and counterproductive behavior that will result in more American deaths. Please look into this urgent issue so that vaccinations can occur in a timely way. The federal government should be poised to help its citizens. Yet, cutting vaccine allocations can only injur the health of the American public. As background, I cite this link which appeared in today's issue of the Washington Post: "States Report Confusion As Federal Officials Make Drastic Cuts in Vaccine Shipments" https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/12/17/pfizer-vaccine-supply-states/
