CDC Releases Unusual Amount Of Covid-19 Vaccine Last Week -- January 12, 2022

Generally, the US distributes five million doses of covid-19 vaccine to US facilities. There have been some exceptions, with as many as nine million doses and fourteen million doses. 

But look at last week: 25 million doses released by the US government, five times the usual weekly amount. The vaccine is not free. Someone paid for that vaccine.

With about 1.5 million doses administered each day, or about ten million per week, a release of 25 million certainly catches one's attention.
