Government Turned Down Mask Offer

More evidence of the incompetence of Donald Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner emerges. Not only did they turn down an offer to manufacture PPE, but they turned down an offer of American manufactured PPE while trying to source imported PPE from all over the world.
Sorry to disappoint you but your own story says the government turned down the offer from the FW company on jan 22

thats 6 weeks before the kushner team was created

sooooooooooooooo? what is it that you are trying to spin?

there is the first person witness ( the company's owner) & hard copy *proof* ie emails from dr. bright that substantiate it. bringing in donny's son in law, panty waisted jared - who ( much like ME affairs ) has ZERO experience in any of this -no matter what the timing was - is just more incompetancy rearing its ugly head.

It was Jan. 22, a day after the first case of covid-19 was detected in the United States, and orders were pouring into Michael Bowen’s company outside Fort Worth, some from as far away as Hong Kong.

Bowen’s medical supply company, Prestige Ameritech, could ramp up production to make an additional 1.7 million N95 masks a week. He viewed the shrinking domestic production of medical masks as a national security issue, though, and he wanted to give the federal government first dibs.

“We still have four like-new N95 manufacturing lines,” Bowen wrote that day in an email to top administrators in the Department of Health and Human Services. “Reactivating these machines would be very difficult and very expensive but could be achieved in a dire situation.”


But communications over several days with senior agency officials — including Robert Kadlec, the assistant secretary for preparedness and emergency response — left Bowen with the clear impression that there was little immediate interest in his offer.

“I don’t believe we as an government are anywhere near answering those questions for you yet,” Laura Wolf, director of the agency’s Division of Critical Infrastructure Protection, responded that same day.
Bowen persisted.

“We are the last major domestic mask company,” he wrote on Jan. 23. “My phones are ringing now, so I don’t ‘need’ government business. I’m just letting you know that I can help you preserve our infrastructure if things ever get really bad. I’m a patriot first, businessman second.”

In the end, the government did not take Bowen up on his offer. Even today, production lines that could be making more than 7 million masks a month sit dormant.

Bowen’s overture was described briefly in an 89-page whistleblower complaint filed this week by Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Bright alleges he was retaliated against by Kadlec and other officials — including being reassigned to a lesser post — because he tried to “prioritize science and safety over political expediency.” HHS has disputed his allegations.

Emails show Bright pressed Kadlec and other agency leaders on the issue of mask shortages — and Bowen’s proposal specifically — to no avail. On Jan. 26, Bright wrote to a deputy that Bowen’s warnings “seem to be falling on deaf ears.”

Kushner is not part of this story

jared could have & should have followed up on the offer. he didn't.

Was he holed up somewhere manufacturing excuses with a team of professional liars?
You are starting to sound desperate

Kushner Airlift Moves Millions of Masks, But Details Are Secret


next?
You continue to ignore the fact that kushner was not responsible for mask procurement on jan 22 when the offer was made to the government

if denizen were honest instead of greedy he would not have upped the anti by telling a lie about kushner

just the true facts of the story would have been slightly embarrassing to the government

But now you have to defend your lie and that completely blurs the underlying story

later on I’ll give you a non partisan response to this issue

After your psychiatric treatment to cure MAGAnut disease?
my previous post to Playtime exposed you as a liar so I will just repeat for you:

so the CONtinuing incompetence on jared's behalf somehow makes it all ok?

do you think he should have researched & done the best he could do CONsidering he's in charge & is a bumbling idiot like his wife's daddy?

don't give me 'non partisan response' bullshit talk - - you have proven to be one the biggest hacks here.
your chicom pals bought up billions of ppe before the virus was discovered by the rest of the world traitor ! and yes you are spreading treasonous chicom propaganda ! and that makes you a traitor to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !
 
More evidence of the incompetence of Donald Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner emerges. Not only did they turn down an offer to manufacture PPE, but they turned down an offer of American manufactured PPE while trying to source imported PPE from all over the world.
Sorry to disappoint you but your own story says the government turned down the offer from the FW company on jan 22

thats 6 weeks before the kushner team was created

sooooooooooooooo? what is it that you are trying to spin?

there is the first person witness ( the company's owner) & hard copy *proof* ie emails from dr. bright that substantiate it. bringing in donny's son in law, panty waisted jared - who ( much like ME affairs ) has ZERO experience in any of this -no matter what the timing was - is just more incompetancy rearing its ugly head.

It was Jan. 22, a day after the first case of covid-19 was detected in the United States, and orders were pouring into Michael Bowen’s company outside Fort Worth, some from as far away as Hong Kong.

Bowen’s medical supply company, Prestige Ameritech, could ramp up production to make an additional 1.7 million N95 masks a week. He viewed the shrinking domestic production of medical masks as a national security issue, though, and he wanted to give the federal government first dibs.

“We still have four like-new N95 manufacturing lines,” Bowen wrote that day in an email to top administrators in the Department of Health and Human Services. “Reactivating these machines would be very difficult and very expensive but could be achieved in a dire situation.”


But communications over several days with senior agency officials — including Robert Kadlec, the assistant secretary for preparedness and emergency response — left Bowen with the clear impression that there was little immediate interest in his offer.

“I don’t believe we as an government are anywhere near answering those questions for you yet,” Laura Wolf, director of the agency’s Division of Critical Infrastructure Protection, responded that same day.
Bowen persisted.

“We are the last major domestic mask company,” he wrote on Jan. 23. “My phones are ringing now, so I don’t ‘need’ government business. I’m just letting you know that I can help you preserve our infrastructure if things ever get really bad. I’m a patriot first, businessman second.”

In the end, the government did not take Bowen up on his offer. Even today, production lines that could be making more than 7 million masks a month sit dormant.

Bowen’s overture was described briefly in an 89-page whistleblower complaint filed this week by Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Bright alleges he was retaliated against by Kadlec and other officials — including being reassigned to a lesser post — because he tried to “prioritize science and safety over political expediency.” HHS has disputed his allegations.

Emails show Bright pressed Kadlec and other agency leaders on the issue of mask shortages — and Bowen’s proposal specifically — to no avail. On Jan. 26, Bright wrote to a deputy that Bowen’s warnings “seem to be falling on deaf ears.”

Kushner is not part of this story

jared could have & should have followed up on the offer. he didn't.

did he?
kushner was not there when the offer was made

but he should have looked into american companies that manufactured PPE.

that would have been the competent thing to do. he could have & should have followed up with the people who are supposta be 'in the know' & be directed to who what & where they are made legitimately.

Kushner Airlift Moves Millions of Masks, But Details Are Secret


next?
You continue to ignore the fact that kushner was not responsible for mask procurement on jan 22 when the offer was made to the government

if denizen were honest instead of greedy he would not have upped the anti by telling a lie about kushner

just the true facts of the story would have been slightly embarrassing to the government

But now you have to defend your lie and that completely blurs the underlying story

Dopey Donald Trump and his incompetent son-in-law are bigger traitors for allowing 70,000+ American deaths.

Vietnam which borders China had zero deaths.
 
If only Trump had taken this seriously.

He still doesn't
 
Honeywell set up two plants from scratch and didn't bitch about it being time consuming or expensive.
How do you know? Because it wasn't made public? Neither was this. FAIL
So they were marketing to more than just the feds,
And giving the Feds first dibs
also prove Trump had any knowledge of the offer,
He damn sure should have. But then he had disbanded his pandemic response team months previously so....


Yeah, just like your dear leader knew what every GD postal employee was doing at any given time. FUCK OFF HYPOCRITE.

.
This isn't like micromanaging, this is a critical national need.

If tRump didn't know about it it's his own fault.


Oh fuck you asshole, that was very early when the chicoms and the WHO were saying it wasn't transmissible person to person. Fauci your hero, was still sucking the WHO's dick at that time and telling Americans that the risk was "very low".

.
Actually this was within days of when Trump realized that the pandemic was so serious that he "sorta" shut down travel from China...


Blah, blah, blah. If you commies couldn't Monday morning QB, you couldn't start a thread. Also it was 10 days before he stopped Chinese citizens form traveling to the US. And like I said, all the experts you so dearly love were saying the US was at minimal risk. Now STFU already.
