"Yet the U.S. government has thus far provided a contract to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine to a single U.S. company: McKesson. It will be an extraordinary challenge for one company to oversee vaccinations of more than 300 million people through one distribution network.
Putting all of our eggs in a single basket exposes our vaccination process to the potential for what we in the military call a single point of failure risk."

We have tossed out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. but apparently our brains as well.
And someone that is supposed to be a logistical professional and an analyst as well, did not take on the statement - "Yet the U.S. government has thus far provided a contract to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine to a single U.S. company: McKesson. It will be an extraordinary challenge for one company to oversee vaccinations of more than 300 million people through one distribution network."
But then again I suppose that they are far better at spreading FUD than in delivery of goods on time and to the right place. No wonder we have a problem in our national logistics network. But then again they still have not learned from the problems with JIT logistics.
