Strategic National Stockpile description altered online after Kushner's remarks

The official government webpage for the Strategic National Stockpile was altered Friday to seemingly reflect a controversial description of the national repository that White House adviser Jared Kushner offered at a news conference Thursday evening.

According to a brief online summary, the stockpile's role "is to supplement state and local supplies during public health emergencies. Many states have products stockpiled, as well."

But hours earlier, the text characterized the stockpile as the "nation's largest supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out."

The revision comes after Kushner argued at the daily press briefing of the White House coronavrus task force Thursday that the stockpile's reserves are exclusively the property of the federal government.

THIS is how the anti-regulation types are going to divide and destroy our country! I wondered how that was going to work for them.

Of course, it will only work if they take over the federal government forever.

Wouldn't you get a similar pitch if you were buying a used car from someone like Kusnher?

Of course, and parts would be falling off your lemon as you drove it home.

Actually, that's the level that Jared Kushner really belongs at and they get very destructive when you give them too much leeway like that, as per all things Trump & Co.

Because way, way back in January, Trump should have enacted the DPA requiring companies to mass produce much needed equipment. This equipment is for the STATES, not the Trump syndicate's coffers. Also, the stockpile is supposed to be inventoried every year. They are claiming equipment with a 2010 expiration date was received in Alabama, all of which had dry rot. WTF is going on here?

originally funded by taxpayers, how can Kushner and pals SELL them? Any profits should go directly into the treasury, to fund a new supply.

I think we need to make sure every one of these lizards are prosecuted. This is on the level of Nazi war crimes -- or treason. I would like to see Kamala Harris for AG.

The goal shifted from supply to supplement. Partly to shift blame.

The chaos is distributions is how to make money. It wouldn’t surprise me if they award a contract to some companies to manage and profit from our national stock pile.
