On Thursday, Pfizer released a statement to deny claims that it was having issues producing its COVID-19 vaccine. The statement comes after officials in more than a dozen states complained that they were receiving fewer doses than promised. According to Business Insider, Trump officials claimed there were "manufacturing challenges." In its statement, Pfizer said it was "not having any production issues." It revealed it has millions of doses sitting in a warehouse, awaiting government orders on where to ship them to. Two anonymous Trump officials told the Associated Press the doses are in storage on purpose. The doses are being held back to ensure that people who had their first shot can get the second one.
