Utter MORONS in charge! Biden admin touts $137M deal for COVID test strip factory ... there's just ONE big problem

From Fox Business:

The Biden administration has signed a $137 million contract with a pharmaceutical company for the purpose of building a factory for COVID-19 test strip materials, a White House official confirmed to FOX Business on Wednesday.

Sounds good, right?

Except …

But the new facility will not start churning out the materials for three years, according to the company. If the timeline is correct, the deal will not alleviate the administration’s scramble to make more tests available in the near future amid a lack of supply for Americans. The administration is under fire for reportedly rejecting a deal in October that would have strongly ramped up the supply of COVID tests.

Ummm, ok? How exactly does that help us NOW? Oh, that’s right, it doesn’t.

So they plan to drag this out for another three years? Hell NO.

Is the “Flu test strip” factory next?

We have utter morons at the helm in this country.

Government waste again, no one will be testing then but at least all their friends will have millions to pocket

Never forget how much money they came up with in #covidprofiteering when you look at the homeless on our streets.

How about we just stop testing since Omicron is no worse than common cold? That costs $0.00.

More political theater to make it look like they are trying. Give us early treatment options.
